Beau Biden, who served in the army before tragically dying from brain cancer, did far more for our country than the House Republicans cynically smearing his name in order to score the cheapest political points against President Biden.
MAGA Republicans have no shame.

And fishing in your own neighborhood in Georgia... Anthony is much nicer than I would be. Maybe I'll go hang out with him and do some fishing and see what they do when a middle aged white dude goes off on them. WTAF is wrong with these people. Rhetorical, I totally get it, we all get it.

The Unabomber died in prison today. Prosecuted by a guy named Merrick Garland. His family turned him in. Something to think about…

The Los Angeles Co district attorney’s office has left Twitter due to a barrage of “vicious” homophobic attacks that were not removed by the social media platform even after they were reported. The account, LADAOffice, no longer exists on Twitter. -AP. They should come to @Spoutible ! 🐳 @cbouzy

Some of you are concerned about Bluesky's momentum, and the media overhyping the platform. We have built a strong community here, and many of you have been supporting our mission since 2018 when I launched Bot Sentinel. Spoutible's growth is organic, and word of mouth is extremely powerful.

Harry Belafonte was an angel among us. He never stopped fighting for us, trained and supported multiple generations of leaders, and stayed connected and focused. May his memory always be a blessing.

The news out of San Jacinto County is awful.
Texans shouldn’t have to live in fear that a neighbor with an AR-style weapon will come after their family. Congress needs to pass serious gun safety reform and the Texas legislature has to stop putting folks at risk by loosening gun laws.

It was over the top.
MichaelSteele @MichaelSteeleReflective moment: Was it me or did it seem like the Media (MSNBC, FOX, CNN) OD'd on Trump? I thought the level and type of coverage was unwarranted (watching his plane take off? Really?). At one-point, you couldn't tell which president was in NY (the actual POTUS was in Minnesota for clean energy).06:44 PM - Apr 03, 2023

Donald Trump and his supporters are attacking his indictment. But their criticisms don’t stand up to scrutiny. Let me rebut some of them.

Why is it that when progressive policies that help the bottom 90 percent are proposed, the question always seems to be, "How will you pay for it?"
But when the top 1 percent ask for bailouts, tax cuts, and subsidies, the question always seems to be, "How much do you need?"

In response to Joaquin Castro.
My prognosis is good. I expect to be home recovering in Texas for several weeks before returning to Washington to continue my work on behalf of the people of my hometown, San Antonio.

I. AM. RUNNING.
You heard it here first! I am officially launching my campaign to unseat Lauren Boebert and restore dignity to #CO03 representation.
We lost by a mere 546 votes in '22 — the closest race in the country — and know we can make that up in '24.

BREAKING: Arizona court DISMISSES Republican lawsuit to limit work requirements for poll workers and force the hiring of more GOP poll workers. Another court victory for DSCC, azdemparty and the voters of Arizona. Another loss for the RNC.

Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in Ohio and unleashed chemicals, made a record $12 billion in revenue last year.
Instead of investing in better safety measures, what did the company do? It authorized a $10 billion stock buyback.
Corporate greed, folks.

Sometime this year, SCOTUS will rule on 2 cases that could further undermine voting rights in this country. To understand what is at stake and why you should be paying attention to the efforts of marceelias and Democracy Docket, here's a profile of him I wrote last year.

Did you know that JRR Tolkien rejected Stuart Hall's grad proposal in medieval studies when Hall was a student at Oxford? Hall was interested in the Middle Ages, but gatekeeping shut him out. Being resilient, Hall switched course & became a leading cultural thinker of our time. #BlackHistoryMonth

Militarization of the police started in the Reagan-era war on drugs when one program informally began giving surplus military equipment from the Pentagon to police departments. The initiative, known as the 1033 program, was formally implemented by Congress in the 1990s. Reform is needed now.
