@sanders.senate.gov on the opportunity cost of war: "All over this country, people are sleeping out on the street, can't afford housing, can't afford healthcare. We are the richest country in the history of the world... We need to provide a decent standard of living for every man, woman and child."

NTSB member says he was fired without explanation by the Trump administration A member of the National Transportation Safety Board says he has been fired without explanation by the Trump administration.

Oooh, boy, this is a story to keep an eye on. You can't find any more rigorous truth-tellers than the NTSB. And they must be like Kryptonite to the current Trump administration. apnews.com/article/nati...

I know Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) puts on the cornpone Foghorn Leghorn act for the rubes back home but seriously wtf is this shit?

Imagine being okay with everything Kristi Noem has done but the grift (which isn’t even a rounding error compared to Trump’s, of course).

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

In honor of the 61st anniversary of the Bloody Sunday, I joined Rep. Terri Sewell and colleagues to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Today’s walk was symbolic, but the fight for civil and voting rights continues. Black history is American history and it must never be forgotten.

U.S. Authorities Are Investigating Device Thrown Near Gracie Mansion The device that emitted smoke during a protest near Gracie Mansion Saturday was designed to be deadly, people with knowledge of the investigation said.

Federal authorities will lead the investigation into the violence that broke out at an anti-Muslim rally in New York City outside Gracie Mansion, the home of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, on Saturday, where a counterprotester threw a homemade bomb, people with knowledge of the matter said.

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is 56, which means he was 10 in the 1979 revolution.

That makes him the first leader of Iran without memories of life under the Shah or the revolution itself (beyond kid recollection, at least).

Like John Quincy Adams, the first post-revolutionary leader.

I remember the revolution more than the new supreme leader of Iran. (I was in an international school in London and suddenly all my classes were filled with Persian exiles.)

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: β€œMake no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.
