I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."
Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of:
Giving $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP.
I'm going to fight them every step of the way.
If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.
Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.
You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.
They've released smog into the air in Memphis.
And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.
Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.
BREAKING:
A Virginia judge just temporarily halted the implementation of the state's new voter-approved redistricting measure.
Election officials cannot move forward now unless the ruling is overturned by a higher court.
Virginia's AG has vowed to appeal the ruling.
My G-d
The Navy goes from an incompetent in John Phelan who was appointed because he was a Trump donor
To Hung Cao-the apparent king of stolen valor who believes parts of America are being overrun by..witches and wiccans
Heaven help our sailors fighting Iran-on active duty in the Strait of Hormuz
"the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power..."

The new acting Secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, who is replacing John Pelan, is a theocratic loony who thinks California is infested with witches. The only thing the Trump administration shows *any* aptitude for is filling its job openings with unqualified kooks.
The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.
A win! A judge just blocked the Trump admin from strangling hundreds of wind and solar projects nationwide. Chief Judge Denise Casper issued a preliminary injunction, striking down a policy that required every wind and solar project to get personal sign-off from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

I love how AOC goes to bat for us. America needs her in higher office.
A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.
Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump threatens Iran with potentially "blowing up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"
Tell Congress: Block Trump’s illegal scheme to gut the US Forest Service. Do it now: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
This is amazing.
