the leader of SECDEF Pete Hegseth's church held a conference announcing their vision (read: plan) of an america that bans non-"christian" religions, allows slavery, banning 'public' expression of LGBT identity, arguing for a "sexual gestapo" (their words), broadly banning women's vote, etc...
I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II.
She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet.
Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.
Proud to partner with @houlahan.house.gov to introduce this bill. Over 5,000 women serve with excellence in combat arms and make us stronger in the fight!
Eyewitness video from the scene of today's ICE shooting in California appears to (you guessed it) contradict officials' claims that the man "weaponized" his vehicle. The car is reversing and the agents appear to be well clear of it.
I just wish I was as out of touch with US politics as JD Vance is
"You don’t have to remove women from the force.You just have to make it harder for them to remain—and easier for others to question why they were there in the first place."
The awesome Jess Ruttenber connecting the dots.

Critical thread here
Hegseth is tearing our military apart, firing leaders who push back on his his racist, misogynist purges, his war crimes, and his stupid war.
Impeach Pete.
For a year we’ve been saying that Hegseth is forcing a political ideology on the military: an ideology that presumes women and Blacks are inferior (and LGBTQ+ folks have no rights). He’s promoting a destructive racist, misogynist culture that will tear units apart and leave us weak.
Impeach him.
Please tell me this clown “Secretary of WAR” is next in line to be fired. Calling for war crimes (“back to the Stone Age”). Zero understanding of international affairs. And this gross sabotage of good order and discipline.

Fear is the whole strategy. Make people feel alone, make them feel small, make them stay home. It does not work when we show up anyway.
Every single time.
This country belongs to you.
Who else is showing up?

"I don’t know how it’s possible for trans people in this country to be so visible in the national discourse and yet simultaneously unseen. What a paradoxical hell this all is."

Trans people are no threat to you. They’re just trying to survive, like all of us. And FYI, they choose to serve in the military at higher rates than the rest of the population.
Love and courage and peace to my trans siblings out there!
On a day when headset removes women and black officers from promotion rolls, we introduced a bill to ensure that qualified women continue to serve in the combat arms roles where they are excelling. #MeritNotIdeology

"Mr. Buria [Hegseth's chief of staff] told Mr. Driscoll [Secretary of the Army] that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, the officials said."

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Army veteran/USMA grad/Ranger mom rgrhelper.bsky.social joins AF pilot/aviation advocate Jess “J-Rutt” Ruttenber for an amazing interview with Follow the Leighder. So proud to work with these heroes!

Someone needs to be fired
Must-read thread for anyone who gives a damn about veterans
I happen to know this commander and I am bursting with pride
REPUBLICANS: Democrats are antichrists and must be put against the wall.
DEMOCRATS: Let's work together with our friends across the aisle.
A brilliant book - highly recommend!

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
Celebrating the treasonous Confederate leaders at U.S. Army bases remains a slap in the face to Black soldiers and anyone who fights for freedom.
Proud to know Jack Lowe!

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.
ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.
We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.
