Vote or Democracy fails on our watch. Climate change is killing Mother Earth. Act now.
So let us stop talking falsely now, the hour is getting late. Blue '26.

Not going to lie, the overload of class, dignity, intelligence, humility and grace today at the Obama Presidential Center made me really emotional and angry. It displayed how much US society has fallen.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Michelle Obama: We simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent, to wring our hands in despair, or to wait for someone else to fix the problem. Hope is all we have, because hope is the essential spark that lights the fire of change. But hope is a choice. Whether or not we use our voices to speak up is a choice. Voting is a choice. Being a decent human being is a choice. Believing that we still hold the power to build a country that reflects us all is a choice.

NEW: The USPS is starting to create a new records system to track mail ballots, laying the groundwork to collect records related to mail-in and absentee ballots.

The revelation underscores the Trump administration is taking steps to build out his anti-mail voting order amid legal challenges. https://t.co/nBRQgj84yV

This photo is the perfect metaphor for the US under trump's 'leadership'....

@Osint613 JCPOA was negotiated over 2 years. The MOU punts all the important issues to later. The 'begging and talking' line here is one of the lowest IQ things I have heard that moron say.

Every parent of a child with special needs should be terrified right now

[Greg Olear @gregolear]

Obama put $400 million in euros & Swiss francs on pallets & shipped it to Iran via air freight, to settle an actual debt, and MAGA hasn't shut up about it for 10 years.

Trump is giving Iran $300 BILLION—not to repay a debt, but to end the needless war he started b/c Bibi said to.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Instead of helping Iranian pro-democratic forces “take over your government”, Trumps war strengthened the dictators who slaughtered thousands. And now he’s even helping them access hundreds of billions of dollars. Very sad.

"We are all tense. We are all waiting for victory. We are trying to keep hope and not lose it.

We cannot get tired, because if we do, we will die.”

This is painful 💔🙈
Please don't stop supporting Ukraine, they need our help 🇺🇦🫂

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

Trump will move the Special Education arm out of the Department of Education altogether, as Education gets redistributed to HHS and the DoJ Civil Division.

This is the very same discrimination the IDEA law sought to end for kids with special needs. https://t.co/UlEFXBNkn0

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump must hold a classified meeting on his so-called "understanding" with Iran.
He must brief all of Congress.
He must inform the American people and make the “understanding” public.

After 100+ days of bloodshed, 13 Americans killed, hundreds wounded, tens of billions of dollars wasted, Americans need to know how and when this war will truly end. The longer this war goes, the worse things will get.

[Andrew C Laufer, Esq @lauferlaw]

That was likely the point. Trump’s capitulation damages America’s credibility worldwide. Unkept promises, unpredictable action, unreliable ally, secondary gain and corruption, etc. Also sends a message that liberal democracy is no better than autocracy and so on. Creates opportunity for the Kremlin and CCP.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Schatz: "If this deal is so good, why can't the public see it? ... there is a reason they are not publishing this deal, and it's because makes plain that this is one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in many generations"

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

JCPOA did NOT provide a path for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. That claim is absolute nonsense.

And after JCPOA expired, there could have been another one.

After START I, there was the New START Treaty.

#Ocean
"Supreme stupidity" is no exaggeration:

Destroying the Ocean Observatories Initiative would be a momentous act of harm to US interests.

Senators are now fighting back, and have written to the NSF to reverse course on its plan.

In their letter, the senators cited the approaching El Niño – a periodic Pacific warming that disrupts weather patterns and supercharges marine heat waves – as evidence the cuts are particularly ill-timed.

“The loss of this deep-water observation system would threaten our ability to prepare for and monitor future El Niño events,” they wrote, warning coastal communities, fishermen and emergency responders would be left without crucial information.

“In a time of strained resources, the NSF is wasting time and money to destroy its own scientific infrastructure.”

My team of marine scientists use data from the OOI regularly and it is complete nonsense to suggest that there is any other system in place which can match its capabilities.

Insulin should be capped at $35/month. Repost if you agree.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

He started it.
He fucked it all up.
He lied & lied & lied & lied about it.
He made them stronger.
He made us weaker.
He surrendered.
He lost.
And then he gave them billions & billions & billions.

MAGA, MAGA.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

What's one thing you appreciate today that your younger self would have considered a miracle?
Mine is simple:
Peaceful mornings.
I never understood their value when I was younger.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

He sent 13 service members to their deaths over “not very valuable stuff”?
168 Iranian school girls.
Thousands of civilians killed.
Our bases badly damaged.
Stockpiles depleted.
$80 billion price tag.
$6 gas.

For “not very valuable stuff”?
