Flashback to this summer—great flying with you, Jared Isaacman. Congratulations on your swearing-in as NASA Administrator! Capable leadership, clear vision, deep passion, and a true respect for safety. Looking forward to seeing NASA fly with you at the helm.

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.
Integrity has defined my brother’s service to our nation, as a combat veteran, astronaut, and US Senator. Any effort to undermine that is an abuse of power.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
I approve this message. Bye, Boebert.
As a former NASA Astronaut and a retired U.S. Navy Captain, Scott Kelly knows a thing or two about leadership and taking on big challenges. I am honored to have the support of @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social and so many incredible leaders across Colorado’s 4th Congressional District! LET'S GO!

‘til death do us part. Celebrating a little something tonight. Picked up this Rosé on my recent girls’ trip to Greece. Saved for a special occasion. And well, special occasion is now. Be back later.
You can’t be horrified by hate only when it’s aimed at you. Yes, the comments about Texas “deserving” the floods are cruel. I’ve seen them. I’ve called them out. But if we only get upset when we are the target—and stay silent when 1/2
Found this while reflecting on childhood summer days—a photograph of me at summer camp (my sister Cheri behind me) in the Texas Hill Country, near the Guadalupe River. Circa 1984. Back then, it was all sunburns, lazy floats in the river. A kind of freedom I didn’t yet know was rare.
Good morning to everyone who voted full-body NO on home rule in DougCo, Colorado To the rest of you, bless your anti-democratic little hearts.
“Home rule” sounds harmless—but opens the door to political overreach and inequality. From poverty, abuse, and mental illness to NASA, I’ve seen what’s at stake. Here’s why I’m voting no: bit.ly/4keG74A
Home Rule isn’t Freedom: Don’t be Fooled

Honored to moderate yesterday’s town hall with Colorado AG @philweiser.bsky.social. A powerful turnout and inspiring conversation. Grateful for your leadership, your story, and your tireless work for all Coloradans.
So my Congresswoman Lauren Boebert accused Sen. Alex Padilla of a federal crime for asking a question at a press conference. Bold move from someone who got herself escorted out of a theater for *checks notes* hands-on interference.
So many urgent issues. They all point back to one thing: democracy. @StationCDRKelly.bsky.social spoke to us after his 3rd trip to Ukraine. He’s seen firsthand what’s at stake. Watch his message for @u24.gov.ua. This is what democracy looks like. Thank you, Scott, for your steadfast leadership.
Last fall, @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social visited Kyiv for the 3rd time in the last 3 years. Our ambassador emphasized the resilience he saw in Ukrainians and urged his country and the world to stand with Ukraine. 3 months ago, 3 years ago, today, tomorrow — this is the way💙💛 Thank you, Scott!
The news that NASA is shrinking its Office of Communications is a strategic unraveling. For decades, NASA’s storytellers—writers, visual producers, social media teams, public affairs officers—have turned complex science into awe. nasawatch.com/uncategorize...

Trump said Russia & Ukraine are like “kids fighting in a park.” Pretty sure he’s never even been to a park. It’s war. Bombed hospitals. War crimes. Dead civilians. You reckless, bone-spur-riddled dimwit. Wannabe dictator.
Harvey Milk is a hero. Pete Hegseth? Never heard of her.
An action a day keeps the baddies away. It really doesn’t have to be much. That little bit every day adds up. It’s also pretty much better than handwringing and doomscrolling.
One action a day keeps the baddies away. The House voted yes on $700B in Medicaid cuts. That means pain for rural hospitals, seniors, kids, and working families. Call your Senators. Hold your Representatives accountable. Support opposition candidates. Share your story.
Yesterday’s attack in Boulder was a targeted act of terrorism. Six were injured during a peaceful walk to honor Israeli hostages — a clear act of antisemitism. There is no place for antisemitism in America. Our hearts are with the victims and their families. We will not be silent.
Joni Ernst is exhausting. No, Joni — we won’t be divorcing LGB from T. Nice bigoted try. I stand proudly with my LGBTQ+ family, friends, and the entire community — today and every day.
The White House pulled Trump’s nominee for NASA Administrator yesterday after Trump himself withdrew Jared Isaacman’s nomination. It’s almost like they realized he’s too qualified, too decent, has no indictments, and had bipartisan support.
So, do we tell Joni Ernst the Tooth Fairy is as real as her version of Jesus?
I once said I’d never use “busy” as an excuse. I lied. Been over at @indivisiblerox.bsky.social—growing grassroots, slaying spin, and making some damn good friends. Give it a follow if you’re curious. You might recognize the snark. (It me.) For democracy defenders only. If not you, scroll on by.
So we hear next month Harvard will offer—for free—an online course on the U.S. Constitution. The covfefe is on you, however.
So, about Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — the one House Republicans just passed to gut Medicaid for 13.7M Americans. I know some folks are thinking: “Well, I’m not on Medicaid, so…” Let me stop you right there. This matters to you, too. And if you’re backing this 1/2
Honored to have met President Biden — warm, sincere, and truly decent. When Scott got home from nearly a year in space, Dr. Jill showed up in the middle of the night with homemade apple pie and White House homebrew. Can’t think of anything more American — well, that and Joe’s lifetime of service.
America is built on second chances. Trump is proof we should really rethink that policy.
Hi friends! Since moving from Houston, I’ve landed in beautiful (and blue!) Colorado—but in a deep red district (yep, Boebert’s new one). I’m now Communications Director for our local Indivisible chapter, IRR (Indivisible Rox Resistance).
