(1,3) My book Find The Helpers is ultimately a message of resilience and finding hope. The final paragraph says "to the future leaders and heroes, you will have many moments in your life, some bigger than others.

Can someone please ask @AGPamBondi if ICE is now staffed by extremists organizations like Proud Boys, 3%ers, and the former Identity Evropa & League of the South. What about those who participated in the January 6th insurrection?

Many people are saying this is true.

This testimony from @AGPamBondi is a fucking disgrace. She is a stain on the fabric of America. She is making clear that she is NOT an AG for America.

She is a wicked and evil _itch.

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the WH about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you

D: They're going to transfer TX Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

B: I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump

Sounds like what @PamBondi said without getting caught up in using the words is that the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

New in PN: Dems are winning the shutdown

"If Republicans are on board with Trump’s effort to become a dictator, there’s not much point in negotiating. You might as well force them to own their priorities, including hugely increasing healthcare costs, then use it against them on the campaign trail."

Democrats are winning the shutdown

Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

While I disagree with @RepMTG on almost everything, I appreciate her stepping out on subsidies. I am an American who is self employed with preexisting conditions. I have health care because of ACA. Thank you Rep Greene for speaking up & protecting my ability to afford health care going forward.

Years ago the Current Occupant of the White House, during his debate with Biden, said "Proud Boys stand back and stand by."

As they are now filling vacant ICE roles, Americans are facing more violent danger than ever before.

More Americans now say violence might be needed to “fix” the country.

This is the direct result of years of reckless rhetoric by the gun industry and our leaders allowing unfettered access to guns.

We must unequivocally reject violence and dangerous rhetoric in all of its forms.

There’s a growing number of Americans who think violence might be necessary to get the country back on track

Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

Considering how dishonest Republicans and FOX News have been discussing the shutdown, perhaps a News network like @msnbc.com should change their tag line to say:

"We are the alternative to alternative facts. WE ARE THE TRUTH."

Simply put, this shut down is the result of a wicked wet dream from @RussVought47 and his sidekick Trump.

They dreamt it.

The GOP enabled it.

THEY OWN IT!!!

After hearing the Howard Lutnick interview on EPSTEIN, it is seeming more likely that the Trump shutdown is a diversion from whatever is in those files.

Because this White House is now targeting Americans living in blue states, these Americans must respond.

Because blue states pay the majority of the Federal Governments bills, and carry the red states, every blue state resident should delay as long as possible filing and paying this years taxes.

Listening to @Morning_Joe & @ritchietorres.bsky.social just nailed it. He was clear and concise discussing the shut down and his assessment of the Current Occupant of the White House when he described him as a mobster.

This is an administration of thugs who are actively harming Americans.

America's National Guard protects communities. ICE preys on them.

They are NOT the same. Please spread the word.

Unite For Veterans Coalition @unite4vets.bsky.social · 7d

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

This is a horrific story but also one that could happen to any of us. Definitely not surprising that it happened in Texas. In a society with open carry, permitless carry, and other laws making violence more likely, these kinds of things will happen.

Well I’ve had it with the guns.
Yesterday, I picked up my 9-year girl from school and took her to her afterschool acting class. I had an hour to fill, and I decided to go grab a drink at a nearby Starbucks. For those of you familiar with the area, it was at the corner of S Lamar and Barton Springs

Honored that my friend @moliver00.bsky.social asked to include my daughter Jaime in his 30 under 30 magazine. The Forbes 30 under 30 looks out those who made it. This one looks at those who should have made it but because of gun violence won't. Please take a look.

(2,2) The Republicans have control of the House, the Senate and the White House. They even have a Supreme Court if needed.

We are in this position because they behaved like thugs. If they get their way, Americans like me will be unable to keep health insurance.

(1,2) President Harry Truman used to say "The buck stops here."

This fight to do what is right for Americans like me is right and I personally thank @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer for doing this.

Listening to @LeaderJohnThune and @SpeakerJohnson today, they are failing the Truman leadership test.
