This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

Governor Newsom just signed my bill to increase incarcerated firefighter pay 700% to the federal minimum wage.

Anyone who puts their life on the line to protect others is a hero and deserves both our gratitude and to be compensated justly.

For all of the people who have urged the American news media to stand together in the face of the Trump admin's attacks – it's happening right now. All the major networks are speaking out against the Pentagon's new press restrictions:

President Trump was just caught on a hot mic talking with the president of Indonesia.

He may have been talking about his business interests in the country–which would be exactly the kind of conflict of interest we’ve been warning about for years. 🧵

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

KREMLIN, INCREASINGLY DESPERATE TO PARTIALLY MOBILISE RESERVES

For the past week the Army has been issuing notices electronically to call up men for the annual conscription, the last time it will be done annually as it moves to a rolling monthly system. That will speed up getting conscripts into

I absolutely 💯 decry the attacks on fundamental science but cannot help but be reminded that so many people pissed off now were silent when humanities funding was obliterated & don’t step up for Mātauranga, nor care about the rising misogyny their colleagues have described for a decade.

OpenAI with another 10 GW deal ...

To remind, 1 GW costs $60 billion to deploy.

OpenAI has made deals for 26 GW over the past two weeks.

So ... that's a $1.6 trillion commit for a company that had H1 revenue of $4.3 billion.

This. Is. A. Bubble.

I want to know if he feared for his life due to her "gun"? We may have a different but very obvious problem on our hands. They can't tell what is "pretend" and what is "real" when it comes to threats.

In private speeches from 2023–2024, Russell Vought (a lead architect of Project 2025 and now a head of OMB) said a future administration should make career civil servants “miserable” and “put them in trauma.”
