Hey @durbin.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com.
There may in theory be a case for the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA). But the idea of expanding DHS/ICE's power NOW in a surveillance bill is nuts. Don't add it to the NDAA. Withdraw your support. No new powers for ICE.

One of my favorite Deng anecdotes.

@SlopHq The lie that never dies.

Van Ness BRT was also a utility replacement and upgrade of 170 years of civic infrastructure, the exact location of that all wasn't even known until the project had started construction.

That planning process was also used by locals to oppose it.

They will read if you read. Sadly the trick to parenting is almost always making yourself a better person first.

Governor Beshear of Kentucky can call the Hospital to speak to McConnell personally.
If Thune and Jennings can call and speak to Mitch so can anyone else in our government.
They refuse to be truthful so far.

In a 6-3 ruling the Supreme Court says a lawmaker doesn't have to be alive to serve in the Senate. The three liberal justices dissented.

One thing I always joke about is that you can pretty much build an All-Star team with players from Northern California. With the exception of Logan Webb, the Giants have not realize that as much as other teams.

The 49ers just bought the Seahawks!

(The Khosla family owns about 3% of the 49ers. They’ll have to give that up to complete this purchase of Seattle)

There is a movement building across our country to STOP Donald Trump and defeat MAGA. I just spent a few days on the ground in Nevada meeting with young people, labor leaders, elected officials, and organizers — and the energy is undeniable. People are SICK of Trump’s grift and are turning that energy into action.

Register to vote. Organize. Volunteer.

Let’s flip red to blue and take back the House this November!

Prior to 2025, it was illegal to build a residential building with an FAR over 12 anywhere in New York. Eliminting that cap was long a project of YIMBY groups such as Open New York. Laws change, housing gets built.

It’s sweet that the English sing My Country Tis of Thee to honor their American heritage.

Something I told 14 yo: People are going to stop reading books. I wish this wasn't so, but I fear it is. The silver lining in this cloud is that if you're one of the few people who still read, you'll have a huge advantage over everyone else.

Back-to-back World Cup games held at 40 and 50-year-old stadiums, one of which was privately built. Remember that the next time a politician tells you they need a new taxpayer-funded stadium to attract world-class mega-events. It's bullshit.

BREAKING: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is reportedly being pressured “day and night” to do exactly what Mitch McConnell would do: ruthlessly ram through the replacement election without any regard for norms out of pure partisan opportunism.

one thing that may come as a shock to americans is that literally everybody in literally every single other country is using whatsapp to do literally everything

Lindsey Graham’s gone, but this tweet will live on forever. He could have deleted it but he never did. One of the few things he ever got right.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.
