Turns out my authentic voice involves cussing. Alternately earnest and sarcastic. 💙Since my first vote and always Credit for profile pic borrowed from India Rose Crawford

Ro Khanna on why Speaker Johnson sent the House home early: He doesn’t want Epstein to become the issue before the midterms, and he doesn’t want votes on the Iran war to become the issue.

Kligerman: The administration wants to argue, “We’re not building it for this election.” Well, why are you rushing it? Why are there people, like our whistleblower, who have come forward to say, no, they’re rushing to get it done precisely to have it ready for this election?

FUN FACT If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas. ~ Bill McKibben SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!

1/ Just in: An anonymous federal worker has filed a whistleblower disclosure warning that the U.S. Postal Service's attempt to create a system to regulate mail voting for the midterms has been "rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed." @propublica.org has the details 👇

Screenshot of the top of a whistleblower disclosure titled "USPS Rushed Implementation of New and Untested IT Systems Threatens U.S. Ballot Mail Delivery." Addressed to Senator Blumenthal, the first point details how the whistleblower has "significant concerns about the USPS's secretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process for the creation and implementation of an entirely new and untested set of IT systems" intended for the 2026 midterms.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll didn't just resign; he gave his resignation directly to Trump: "Donald Trump can't feign ignorance about the fact that people in the Pentagon think Pete Hegseth is running the place into the ground."

This. Fuck your purity test. Find me a single elected Republican that is better than your least favorite Democratic member of Congress. I’ll wait.

Today's Kinzinger Report is out and we cover: - Trump is losing farm country, and Republicans are panicking - The three-star admiral Hegseth fired is running as a Democrat - DHS got caught spying on journalists - The Pentagon is taking a stake in a shady Venezuelan oil venture

Thomas Massie and I just introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II. The DOJ has failed to release millions of files. I’m calling on everyone in Congress to sign this petition and stand up for the survivors.

1.2 million Texans that were purged right before the election. If the GOP was helping everyone & enriching lives like they advertise, why would the GOP need to purge voters when everyone would just want the GOP to continue to lead them...
