I bet I'm the only person in #Japan who learned about what #OnePiece is not from anyone here, but from following news about #Indonesia and that symbol being used as a sign of protest against #Prabowo

Help, I'm obsessed with the One Piece drama and I can't get up. It's so revealing of the Prabowo government's mindset www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpre...

I read every bill we vote on in the House, and that’s why I’m a hard no on the Big, Brutal budget bill that Republicans are jamming through Congress. It will add trillions to our already sky-high debt to pay for tax giveaways to billionaires. Millions will lose their healthcare, & costs will go up.

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%. That's not what the American people want.

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet."  If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

We put our faith in America’s air traffic controllers to keep us safe and protect our nation’s airways. They need and deserve our support. I’m proud to help lead the Air Traffic Control Workforce Development Act of 2025. (1/2)

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

The Trump Administration’s proposal to gut LIHEAP is downright dangerous. Tens of thousands of families across New Hampshire rely on this critical program for energy assistance. Slashing it when hardworking Granite Staters are already facing sky-high energy costs will hurt those most in need.
