A few personal notes:
I was just at a NASA team meeting for 3 days in DC. The scientific findings are so fucked up. Experts on tropical rainforests told me privately that they think the Amazon has already passed its tipping point. Let that sink in. The world needs to know
In 2013, Ron DeSantis voted against federal aid for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
In 2022, Ron DeSantis asked President Biden for federal help with Hurricane Ian -- and Biden delivered.
Allen Weisselberg—the Trump Org CFO—just got 5 mo prison for defrauding the American people hundreds of millions of dollars
Crystal Mason—a Black woman who filed a provisional ballet on advice of a poll worker—got 5 years prison even though her vote didn't count

@1813Doncarlo As Chris Wallace said last night in response to a question from Stephen Colbert, news is no longer considered a public service but a profit making venture. Hence, so-called journalists are not interested in fact finding but in creative controversy and profits.
This is the kind of thing that if every voter in Tennessee saw it, it might actually cost her her seat in congress. If you want the voters there to know the truth about their senator, please share far and wide.

President Zelensky to NATO: we asked for fighter jets, you have thousands of them, but haven't got any. You have 20,000 tanks - we need just 1% of them. We need them defend our country. We just want to live, to survive. I believe it's everyone's right.
Sen. @CoryBooker to Judge Jackson: "I'm not letting anybody in the Senate steal my joy...Don't worry, my sister. Don't worry. God has got you. How do I know that? Because you're here and I know what it's taken for you to sit in that seat."
One of my Republican colleagues just said he’s concerned with dark-money influence over the Court. Glad to hear it! We have a bill for that – I hope Republicans join us to pass the DISCLOSE Act.
