Working on solutions as big as the problems we face.
- Apparently it is illegal for Elon to be in charge of DOGE so they are just making up who is running it, as if all of us are complete idiots.A White House official confirms the acting @DOGE administrator is Amy Gleason. Earlier today, Gleason told my colleague @mkaplantv that she was in Mexico when he reached her by phone.
- If I apply for a job at DOGE and had tweeted in the last month that DEI is great, would you show me “grace” and give me a job?For the sake of both of our kids? Grow up. Racist trolls on the internet, while offensive, don't threaten my kids. You know what does? A culture that denies grace to people who make mistakes. A culture that encourages congressmen to act like whiny children.
- This is a test run for 2026. If Dems win the house, will Mike Johnson simply refuse to swear in the new Democrats?
00:00 - Political reporters keep asking me if Democrats focus too much on “culture issues” while Republicans spend all their time doing this.
00:00 - The ceasefire announcement has mostly served as a way to turn attention away from what Israel continues to do in Gaza. There is no ceasefire, and the genocide is continuing.There is no ceasefire. It's a lie. More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government since Trump claimed a ceasefire was achieved. The Israeli government never even stopped bombing Lebanon. They are still committing war crimes. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…
- Bernie’s actually trying to go to districts Republicans barely won and create pressure to get the members to break from Trump. Good! Why don’t most Democrats do this? They tend to be afraid they’ll he unpopular and it could backfire — but I think it’s more effective to just goWith 2,600 friends in Omaha, NE (plus another 800 in overflow). Unreal energy for @BernieSanders in one of the most vulnerable Republican districts in the country.
00:00 - No warrant, no ID. Complete chaos and lawlessness. So if a stranger shows up and grabs me off the bus, I’m supposed to assume it’s ICE?Holy shit! This is New York City. No ID, doesn't identify himself, trying to kidnap a passenger... Who are these fucking Nazis? 😳👇
- Congrats Mayor Mamdani! Zohran proved it doesn’t matter how much money they throw at you. Organized people beat organized money if you stand for real change. We’re doing that in SF. 2k+ volunteers have knocked 40k+ doors because our campaign is about bold change. Join us!
00:00 - Schumer rightfully getting a lot of flack. But Durbin should be getting just as much flack. He's the Senate whip. His job is to whip votes to hold the line. Yet he just voted to cave to Trump and allow healthcare premiums to skyrocket. Both need to step down from leadership.
- They are testing the system. They are seeing how far they can go. Supreme Court has to hold Trump in contempt now. If there is no consequence to this, he will simply keep ignoring the courts.BREAKING RIGHT NOW! THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BRING ABREGO GARCIA HOME. This is Donald Trump defying the Supreme Court. "The federal courts have no authority to direct the Executive Branch to conduct foreign relations"
- I pledge to take no AIPAC money or any corporate money or lobbyist money.
00:00 - No AIPAC money. No corporate or lobbyist money. I'm running for Congress to represent the people of San Francisco, not big donors.
00:00 - So you would be for proportional representation across the board in America? Great, let’s do it.Democrats currently enjoy VERY favorable maps. New England votes about 40% Republican, and has literally 0 Republican US House members. Fairer maps might be arriving soon.
