Senator Kelly:
“The Prime Minister of Greenland told me that children in Greenland are now afraid of Americans.”
I can confirm that this is true. Thank you, Senator, for speaking the truth.

“You can see the surface of the Moon…we just went sci-fi.”
On flight day seven, images from our @NASAArtemis II crew amazed, turning science fiction to reality. From the lunar far side to a solar eclipse from the Moon, the views are EVERYTHING. No pressure to pick a favorite.

The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran.
This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home.
The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.
Thomas Uster retweeted
Congress must immediately end this reckless war of choice in Iran before Donald Trump plunges us into World War III.
It’s time for every single Republican to put patriotic duty over party and stop the madness.
Enough.

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

Trump and Hegseth’s chaotic and possibly illegal orders must be fully investigated. Their leadership has consistently made our nation less safe.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.
So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/let-…

Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.
We’re grateful to President @BarackObama for being in this fight with us and supporting our mission.
California is advancing a process that gives voters the final say on implementing new maps.
This is a fair and responsible response to Trump’s unprecedented power grab.

Actually, you didn't. Still here, still raising and rallying to stop the steal of 5 congressional seats in Texas.
Ironic that you'd accuse someone of bribery when you were impeached in Texas for taking bribes from Nate Paul.
But then, you learned from the best. Your boy Trump:
- transferred the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security camp in return for helping to hide his role in Epstein's rape and trafficking enterprise (BRIBE!!)
- bribed Eric Adams, agreeing to drop his own bribery charges in exchange for letting ICE agents run free in NYC
- took a $400m bribe from Qatar (nice plane!)
- and now peddles the "trump coin" to anyone here or abroad looking to buy influence with the administration
This is why Trump is so desperate to steal these seats in Texas. He knows that if he loses the House, there will be full investigations into all of this.
Here comes accountability for his crimes and corruption!

The guy impeached for bribery is going after the folks trying to stop the theft of five Congressional seats.
I encourage everyone to text FIGHT to 20377. Let’s stop these thugs before they steal our country.

Scared? If we stop the Texas steal & win the House, your guy’s crimes & corruption will be exposed for all to see. The girls traded with Epstein. The bribes taken from foreign governments. And when he goes down, your corrupt, impeached, twice indicted ass is going down with him!
