On MS NOW @radiofreetom.bsky.social talked about Hegseth & the deaths of service members. Reminds me of when I worked in the House & what the Army did to help us honor a request from the family of a fallen soldier. The seriousness & solemnity of their commitment was moving.
The opposite of Hegseth.
I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

After the Supreme Court struck down his illegal tariffs, Trump doubled down by imposing new tariffs on the entire world — a new 15% tax that spikes everyday prices for YOU and your family.
We're suing to stop him.
Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

“Americans need affordable health care, groceries and lower gas prices, not a war that costs $220 million a day and puts our troop in danger."
-Rep. James Walkinshaw (VA) on “Trump’s illegal, unconstitutional, and reckless war in Iran.”
I want to thank the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for letting me write a weekly column for the past 5 years. My final column is pretty simple - Congress can do better, but so can the state of Georgia. No paywall, read it at this link -->

NEW: Tomorrow, Virginians will begin voting on a redistricting measure that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.
@nataliehausmann.bsky.social explains the legal battles that led to this point and what voters can expect when casting their ballots👇
Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD
Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(
For those of you outside of NC, Phil Berger is the most powerful GOP pol in the state, the architect of a decade of Republican policy “successes” and their biggest channel of campaign $$$.
If he loses, the NCGOP will have shot its golden goose in the face, point blank.
And I’m here for it.
Deifying professional athletes is bad.
Drafting them for your grift team is Republican.
New Democracy Summer initiative led by Wesleyan President MIchael Roth. (As a longtime member of the Wesleyan family through marriage, I've been inspired to see the college doing so much to meet the moment.)

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
VP Harris and SG Emhoff will attend Rev Jesse Jackson service this Friday along with former President Biden, Clinton and Obama and former First Ladies Dr Jill Biden and Hillary Clinton.
NOEM: Joe Biden failed North Carolina
ROSS: Listen to me!
Everything about the way this Election Day was handled in Dallas was malpractice to the nth degree, and the fact that it impacted Ds instead of Rs is dirty work
Jane Nelson, Dallas Rs, you will not be seeing the pearly gates
Here are my first ratings for this year's state legislative elections in Nebraska!
The Democrats only need to flip one seat in order to break the Republican supermajority and I think that's probably going to happen. They only need to flip one GOP-held seat in Omaha.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

OTD in 1933, FDR appointed Frances Perkins as Secretary of Labor.
As the first woman to serve in a Presidential Cabinet, Frances became a driving force behind the New Deal and a passionate advocate for labor rights during her 12-year tenure. #WomensHistoryMonth
Today I voted to pass the resolution to rein in the President. He unilaterally launched a war in the Middle East with no imminent harm to the U.S. when he did it. Iran should never have a nuclear weapon, but the Administration has no strategic path forward.
LOAC and IHL weren't written by peaceniks.
They were written by some of the bloodiest people to have ever lived, in an effort to limit bloodshed they considered excess to military purposes.
There's a reason a ton of the rules are about POWs.
