[2/2] The reforms we hope to see from DHS are unlikely to come from newly nominated Senator Mullin, who has defended every Trump action and comment on most any subject.

[1/2] Kristi Noem enjoyed Trumpβs support through her oversight of the executions of two US citizens in broad daylight, cruel family separations, and detainee abuse. The red line for him was when she tied him to her self-promoting $220M ad campaign.
[2/2] And all of this before the impact of the Republican war in Iran, which has unsettled the entire Middle East and spiked the price of oil. America canβt afford Trumpβs tariff taxes, back-room deals, and international turmoil.
[1/2]Trump chaos continues costing American families and businesses. New report today that U.S. lost 92,000 jobs last monthβafter roughly 80,000 manufacturing jobs disappeared during Trumpβs first year of mismanagement.
[2/2] Even Trump has called it a war. Johnson plays this not so funny word game to avoid accepting responsibility for failing to impose any restraint on Trump through the War Powers Act.
[1/2] GOP Speaker Mike Johnson appears to be following Vladimir Putinβs lead by denying that a war is in fact a war. Both would have us believe the wars in Ukraine and Iran are βspecial military operations.β
[2/2] The Trump regime is abusing Anthropic for acting reasonably in accord with American values. This private company is showing far more respect for the American people and our national security than Trump and his incompetent cabinet of Fox News recruits.
[1/2] Seeking modest protections to ensure their technology is used neither for mass surveillance of Americans nor deployment of weaponized drones without humans involved in the decision-making, Anthropic was blacklisted by Hegseth and Trump as a βradical leftβ company and national security threat
4 days after illegally starting a war with Iran, there are still thousands of Americans stranded in a war zone and the Trump regime still does not have a concrete plan to bring them back. These are the consequences to his chaotic military adventurism and his reckless cuts to the federal workforce.
[2/2] My remarks prior to the vote on the War Powers Resolution on the urgent need for Congress to restrain this wannabe king of the universe. Though narrowly defeated 212-219, I will keep working to stop this disastrous war.
[1/2] Ruling by decree, Trump dragged us into a reckless war and cruelly dismissed American deaths as βthatβs the way it is.β With no clear plan or commitment to keep ground troops out, more deaths and billions of taxpayer dollars will be βthe way it is.β
Our βacting president of Venezuelaβ now says βI have to be involvedβ in selecting the new leader of Iran.
Hegseth, who has denied that the goal of the war is regime change, may want to get in touch with his own Supreme Leader so that they can keep their lies straight.
Good discussion with credit union representatives from the Austin/San Antonio area about their vital work they opening opportunities for families, small businesses, and local communities. #GAC2026
[2/2] ... Trump is instead depleting critical supplies for his reckless war of choice with Iran that has already led to the deaths of U.S. servicemembers and over 1,000 civilians.
[1/2] Our air defenses and interceptors could have been distributed to Ukraine to stop a war criminal already responsible for over 100,000 deaths. Turning a blind eye to his pal Putinβs state-sponsored terrorism against the Ukrainian people...
Trump and his regime just cannot keep their lies straight. While I deplore the Iranian regime, there was absolutely no imminent threat to justify this illegal war. Congress must adopt the War Powers Resolution and put a stop to the loss of lives.
Trump on June 21, 2025: βIranβs key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliteratedβ
Trump on March 3, 2026: β"If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weaponβ
[2/2] With war so much easier to get into than get out of, it is imperative that Congress act swiftly to approve the War Powers Resolution to restrain our trigger-happy president, stop another destabilizing, bloody conflict, and save innocent lives.
[1/2] As Baghdad was bombed 23 years ago, Americans were bombarded with lies. Now, as Tehran is bombed, we are once again being bombarded with lies.
[3/3]...and refusing to turn on neighbors who share neither the gunmanβs violence nor his ideology. The gunman sought to make a statement along a sidewalk still marked with crime scene tape. But as a city, we decide what defines us. Let it be unity over hatred.β
[2/3] Now we must heed this powerful message from the Austin American Statesman: βIf the spray of gunfire on West Sixth Street was meant to sow fear and division, Austinβs answer must be steadiness and solidarity β mourning the dead, supporting the wounded...
[1/3] The exemplary actions by Austin law enforcement and first responders saved lives. They represented the best of our city on Saturday night.
With so many urgent challenges facing our country, today is the day to make your voice heard. It is not enough to just express rage, make sure it is heard at the ballot box. The big choices that will impact our lives are being made now in this Primary election. Find your polling location here π
At a Medal of Honor ceremony, Trump surrounded himself with military heroes who have shown the courage that he never shows. Instead of a clear explanation of his objectives for the illegal war which he has declared against Iran, Trump mumbled on about the WH drapes and his massive new ballroom.
[2/2] As @bgrumet.bsky.social l powerfully noted in the Austin American Statesman, βprotest provides an antidote to apathy and affirmation that you are not alone. None of RFK Jr.βs policies changed Friday. But a South Austin community felt a little stronger, a little healthier.β
[1/2] Loving our community and our country also means protecting it from extremist, dangerous agendas. Pleased to see Cunningham families standing up to RFK Jrβs anti-vaccine conspiracy theories that endanger our public health.
In Austin and much of gerrymandered Texas, today will determine who will prevail in the November General Election.
This is an important day to vote. Make your voice heard today before the polls close at 7 PM.

[3/3]
U.S. servicemembers and innocents are paying the ultimate price for an attack that should never have been launched, and all of us are less safe because of this recklessness.
[2/2] Now he has launched us into a protracted war with no imminent danger from Iran and which is not in our national interest. With the number of American deaths already growing, Trump callously proclaims βthatβs the way it is.β
[1/3] Rubio confirms that, like last yearβs attack on Iran, Trump was just too weak to tell Netanyahu NO, as George W. Bush had done. Trump talks tough, brandishes military might, but cannot stand up to strongmen whether Netanyahu or Putin.
