The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.
Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.
Oh no
Have i got good news for you
White House stalls release of approved US science budgets: The administration has not yet released funding Congress allocated to multiple research agencies, so they cannot provide it to funded entities/people - including NIH and NASA. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I borrowed Mr. Technopants, my son Ox's Lego creation, to help explain how ICE is violating the rights of Americans--and why it's a problem for Americans even if only immigrants were being abused.

Interesting new tool for tracking the politicization and weaponization of the Justice Department:

Seeing a guy lose a tooth and play through has only made Ox more eager to play.
If only there was a closer rink!
52 letters in 52 days
Not one response to my question from my so-called "Representative."
Not everything about running for Senate is glamorous.
But if you care enough about something, you show up anyway.
Kansas is worth it. Consider donating today!

Interesting, is that the tariff on petro itself or other inputs?
The only thing Marnie loves more than scratches is a good decision in the Supreme Court. And you know she's a huge fan of free trade.

Firms are gearing up for the Refund Wars now. We're likely to see billions transferred from government to corporate coffers. And good! The taxes were illegal.
But *consumers* shouldered much of the tariff burden. And won't get those refunds.
A massive wealth transfer from consumers to investors.
We're never going to get to purity or perfection. It's on us to keep trying.
And it's worth it. No matter how much remains to be done, we've come a hell of a long way in the last century.
Democracy works.
Sure. It works all the time--elections drive change.
It just doesn't stop. We have to keep doing over and over again, forever.
It's exhausting but it beats the alternative.
Not unless we vote them out.
It's Day 50 of Project No Cap
For 50 days, I've been writing my Congressman, Tracey Mann. For 50 days, I've asked him why he doesn't support Uncapping the House. For 50 days, he's not answered that simple question.
His continued silence makes him look worse and worse.
I've been writing my U.S. Rep, Tracey Mann, every day for 49 days and he has not responded to me about why he doesn't support Uncapping the House. Now, @colinmcroberts.bsky.social, who is running against him in the upcoming midterm election, SUPPORTS UNCAPPING THE HOUSE OH SNAP #projectnocap
This is the kind of institutional fix that would lead to more stability, more democracy, and better government.
We should be keeping steady pressure on Congress to keep the machine functioning. It's getting creaky.
This would only take an act of Congress, not a constitutional amendment. And it would have huge benefits in a large, rural district like mine, where the representative has traditionally been an absentee landlord.
Literally, with this incumbent.
An infographic laying out the rationale for uncapping the House of Representatives, increasing the number of districts to bring each representative closer to their constituents.
An interesting reform we're starting to push for is uncapping the House of Representatives, making each district roughly 500k people. (It's about 750k now, with some up to a million.)
At the Kansas Rural Center's Food and Farm Conference, learning how Congress can support rural life -- renewing underfunded Rural Cooperative Development Grants, supporting the WORK Act and Main Street Employee Ownership Act, and local action.

Getting the word out as a candidate: we can curb ICE violence by amending Section 1983, holding feds to the same standards as local cops.

That's the plan! RtR is something I've talked about but so far soybean markets are a bigger focus for the farmers I've talked to.
Doing a TikTok town hall for my congressional campaign, and I'm pleased to report that the young people are sharp, observant, and unafraid to tell important truths.
Over 1,200 miles in the car this weekend, to and from the far corners of Kansas. Up by 5 and home after midnight, making every hour count: tabling with the party, meeting supporters, lecturing on negotiation strategy, and seeing a bald eagle strike.
God, I love Kansas.
Texas today, Kansas in November! @colinmcroberts.bsky.social
