Giannoulias: We passed a bill through our office that became law to make sure that automatic license plate readers could not be used in cases involving abortion or immigration.
We found out a few weeks ago was that a law enforcement agency in Texas was using these automatic license plate readers

Paul Revere's ride...250 years ago tomorrow. Raise the alarm. Light the way. Understand the moment. See Angus King's conversation with Heather Cox Richardson today. Excellent conversation.
So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Hey @washingtonpost.com, why are you such cowards?
The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Additionally, Mr. Patel perjured himself during his confirmation hearing last month. We demand an investigation—no one should be above the law.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Personal Discretion Over the Treasury's Payments System Means the End of Democracy
If the Court and federal workers fail to stop Elon Musk, we are heading for authoritarianism.

If 50 Senators vote for him, it will take 67 to remove him, even if he rolls tanks on Americans
Pete Hegseth’s nomination has already passed the committee, and the only step left is a confirmation vote from the full Senate. If we’re going to stop this dangerous nomination, we have to act now. Every call, every email, and every bit of pressure counts: act.indivisible.org/sign/oppose-...

For the past 2yrs: Employment way up, unemployment way down, wages up, the market up, inflation down, personal spending up. We’ve had a better post-Covid recovery than any other industrialized nation. Trump will lie about it, but the truth is: TRUMP IS INHERITING A GREAT ECONOMY. Please pass it on.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead
