I like people who hate Nazis and Fascists.

@TheMaineWonk Yup. I’ve seen it posted on FB as well.

El-Sayed: But it is on us to have the empathy to ask, what is it like to be young now? If you’re 26, you were one year old when 9/11 happened. Our country has been at war for most of your life.

In 2007, we had this catastrophic financial crisis for which the banks were not held liable. Chances are you or your family or a neighbor lost their home. Donald Trump came down the hideous golden escalator when you were 15 and has been a fixture of politics for your whole adult life. You are 26.

If you are young, think about it. We’re always like the young people do not seem to want to get engaged. If that is all I have ever lived, part of me is like, to what end?

We have to understand what it is like to be young these days and the incredible act of faith it takes to be invested in your politics, to believe that you can actually solve those problems.

While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

"It's entirely inappropriate and borders on sacrilege"

VOTE VETS & the DC-based CULTURAL LANDSCAPE FOUNDATION education & advocacy group have released a new video urging a halt to Trump's planned Monumental Arch near Arlington Natl Cemetery

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

The Trump cartel froze payments for a megaproject to build a new tunnel between Manhattan and New Jersey.

The federal government already promised over $10 billion to build the new Hudson River tunnel, but the Trump admin refused to hand over the money because they claim the project isn't following their federal rules about DEI.

This has been going on for nearly a year.

200,000 commuters everyday are currently using a 116-year-old tunnel and thousands of jobs are being negatively affected because of this culture war bullshit.

This is blatant sabotage of a national megaproject by the executive branch.

Flock takes their privacy very seriously.

But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.

Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

‼️‼️ Trump Admin just accepted permit for an underwater AI data center off Eastport, Maine

- $100 million project covering 27 acres in the Bay of Fundy near Kendall Head. Servers cooled by our ocean turning Western Passage into an industrial heat sink.

- Locals and the Passamaquoddy Tribe have been screaming about this for months.

- Thermal pollution risks cooking the water that sustains our lobsters, scallops, and clams.

- Data Center Developer is a Massachusetts luxury real estate guy who formed the company weeks before filing.

If you received as many government handouts and subsidies as Elon Musk has, you'd be super rich too.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

Big win for privacy that the federal courts have agreed with me about the urgent need to spotlight the many ways the government is spying on Americans. Now Congress must go further and pass my Government Surveillance Transparency Act.

What if we’re all just passengers on the decoy plane?

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Now Iran is saying they won’t negotiate until Trump leaves office. I don’t understand what went wrong, we sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers to negotiate after having such a well thought out plan of attack six months ago.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Edwin Lopez Cornejo, a young man who was detained at Delaney Hall, died this weekend. He leaves behind a family and community who deserve answers.

Transparency is the bare minimum of what New Jerseyans deserve when it comes to Delaney Hall. This has been the site of suffering in the name of profit; it’s a site that needs to be shut down now. I’ll continue to work with Governor Sherrill and my colleagues in Congress to deliver both.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Trump is starting to give out tariff refunds:

Amazon - $600M
Apple - $2.2B
Ford - $1.3B
GM - $500M
Nike - $1B

Where are the refunds for the American families forced to pay more? You deserve your money back.

Exclusive: We obtained a leaked playbook that Flock gives to cops to coach them on "how to speak to city council" to avoid getting their contracts canceled. Includes strategies like "own the narrative" by talking to mayor "before public comment periods"

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Breaking with bipartisan precedent, Trump overruled his own agencies and denied sending disaster aid to four Democratic-led states this month, despite FEMA and NOAA's determination that those states met the thresholds for receiving aid.
