Checking in from the Capitol as Senate Republicans try to give tens of billions to ICE. I'll keep you updated throughout the night.

Just wanted to point out that Kash Patel is suing the Atlantic for the same amount that Devin Nunes tried to sue @devincow.bsky.social and myself, $250 million.

New Jersey’s most vulnerable GOP incumbent is MIA Rep. Tom Kean Jr.'s team said the absence is due to unspecified health issues.

It’s kinda remarkable that it took a month for anybody to miss him!

It’s weird, and yet it’s not weird. At least not for Tom Kean Jr.

From the article: “The other two Republicans in the New Jersey delegation, Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, said they have called and texted Kean out of concern for his health. But so far, neither said they have heard from him. Van Drew said it’s been ‘radio silence.’ “

What medical procedures require a month long absence. And why no disclosure? Must be a serious issue.

not replying to phone calls or text messages from your same state, same party coworkers wondering where you are is pretty weird

We know! I once tried to ask Kean Jr. a policy question when I recognized him at an outdoor festival. He whipped himself around and speed walked away from me as fast as he could without otherwise acknowledging my existence. I am an NJ-7 voter.

Kean will miss votes once again this week - New Jersey Globe Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-Westfield) will miss votes once again this week due to a medical issue, his office has informed the New Jersey Globe, but the nature

Tom Kean Jr., NJ-7 who has voted with Trump 100% of the time since his re-election has been AWOL for over a month. Is the stress getting to you Junior?

Virginia AG Jay Jones is challenging …

“My office will immediately file an appeal in the Court of Appeals,” Jones said. “Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have the power over the People’s vote. We look forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in court.”

Well, f*ck. But it’s not the final decision.

He strongly backed our (former) Congressman Tom Malinowski. I met Senator Booker at one of Tom’s local events.

Same. Glad he’s my Senator.

When DJT was first elected, and Republicans were again threatening the ACA, I attended a healthcare forum in Newark where Cory Booker was one of the elected official who spoke. Believe me, he heard our concerns and took them into account!

The need that some voters have for perfection is really something!

Booker is my Senator. He isn’t perfect, but his votes align with my needs and priorities 99% of the time. I believe his heart is in the right place. And he hears his constituents. You’ll never get that from a Republican.

Platner opposes a ban on assault weapons and a survivor of one of the most horrendous school shootings in America endorses him.

Italian GFY hand gesture?

Dems just forced House Republicans to pull votes on a bill to weaken the Endangered Species Act, after their support buckled. Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌏🌎

the number of idiotic things that have been said the last 10 years to avoid stating the obvious that "this president is one of the stupidest people who ever lived" truly beggars belief

Amazon would LOVE a general strike. So would every other international corporation with the cashflow to survive it.

Why? Because it would mean they could buy every small business that runs revenue for pennies on the dollar.

Big companies might get hurt.

But they'd own every small business later.

I gave this interview 10 months ago. Everything the Trump regime has said & done since then has made me even more certain I was right.

Witness the mesmerizing murmuration of starlings in Italy, a stunning display of nature's coordination and beauty as they dance through the sky in unison.

Ruby Bridges is 8 years younger than the President.
