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.

‘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.

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.

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!

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.

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, 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.

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).
