Chief Bovino is not a political appointee. He is a civil servant, subject to the same requirements to be nonpartisan as any other employee. These messages are being broadcast from an official government account.

He should testify to Congress
Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Alvin Holsey just took over the US southern command late last year for a position that normally lasts three years

Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.

He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

I'll be on MSNOW at 4pm to talk more about it.

Tariffs are taxes. When Trump levies new taxes on Americans without any approval by Congress and then talks about giving some of it back, that's not a "reward" – it's a scam.
Tom Emmer on tariff checks to Americans: "You gotta love this president. He looks at this like a business, and when the business is doing well, the shareholders, which are the American people, should be rewarded."

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Why should I spend my time phone banking on the SUFS Aftyn campaign?

1. The numbers for a win are there! We have to get out the vote.

2. Calling works!

3. Putting out the science X democracy fire requires us to take back Congress. This gets us one seat closer to 218.

4. IT IS A WINNABLE RACE!
TAKE ACTION! Hit the phones with us on Saturday and Sunday for @aftynbehn4tn, and help bring sanity back to science policy. Sign up at zurl.co/5aOiP (linked in our bio) to get started. All you need is a phone and a zeal for action!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy?

Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

John Oliver and Co did a great explanation of what public media does, and who exactly the funding recission actually hurts (Hint: it's not liberal elites.) Also very proud to see my old friend and former WBEZ reporter Lauren Chooljian featured for her amazing work.
