Later today House Republicans will bring up a bill designed to hurt trans youth and athletes and ban them from playing sports in schools. The real effect beyond that cruelty is it would allow gender checks on young girls and athletes. This is sick and shameful and I will be strongly voting NO.
People are dying and losing everything. Our priority should not be raising the debt ceiling so billionaires get more tax cuts. Whether it's wildfires in CA, or hurricanes and tornadoes in Louisiana, we should should never condition aid to disaster victims.
There’s been a solid migration of reporters towards bluesky - but it’s not at critical mass yet. X continues to be full of misinformation and yet all of the national press is still there and active. I’m hoping the shift continues. These emergencies need reliable coverage.
There’s an enormous amount of misinformation out there about the fires and the response. Some of these lies and distortions are dangerous and could cost lives. Our Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has launched a website that lays out the facts. Please share: californiafirefacts.com
This devastation is fucking awful. We are going to need ongoing federal support.
People are dying. Thousands of homes have been lost. Firefighters and frontline workers are risking thier lives and we are in an active emergency in our state and region. This is disgraceful by Speaker Johnson and he should apologize.
So glad to be home from Washington DC, but just devestated by the destruction that is happening across the region. My thoughts are with our heroic first responders and those that have lost their homes . We will beat back these fires and get folks the help they need.
Proud of our local firefighters who are battling the fires across LA County. I know many of these men and women personally, and they are true heroes. A huge thank you to them and all the first responders helping save lives and homes.
These fires are horrific. So grateful to all the first responders and all the personnel on the ground. There will be so much work to do in the future to support the families impacted.
This morning, I was honored to pay my respects to the late President Jimmy Carter. He was an incredible man who was a model for how we should live our lives. On behalf of the people I represent, I was able to say a prayer in the Rotunda today.
We are all grateful for local firefighters and first responders from across the county and the state, who are working hard to protect our region. We are working with the Governor and President to ensure that we get all the federal aid we need. We need to make sure no one is left behind.
We are closely monitoring the LA fires and are greatly concerned and heartbroken by the devastation. I’ve also been in contact with Chief Buchanan and the Long Beach Fire Department who has deployed response units to Pacific Palisades and Pasadena.
Donald Trump is a danger to our country.
Let’s be clear: January 6th was an insurrection and a blatant attack on our democracy, no matter how many times Trump & Marjorie Taylor Greene try to spin it.
We should never stop calling out Trump for threatening the very foundation of our nation.
(end thread)
Pardoning these people would mean letting violent criminals onto our streets and emboldening many more.
It would threaten our national security and put our democracy at risk.
We can't let that happen.
Inmates showed no remorse or regret. When they tried to shake my hand, I refused. Marjorie Taylor Greene instead gave them comfort and support.
They celebrated and chanted, "Let's Go Brandon."
They were never "hostages," like Trump claims. And they are held in much better conditions than most inmates.
They had tablets for entertainment and were separated from other inmates.
They were being treated fairly.
Around 20 inmates were being held at the time, awaiting trial for a variety of violent crimes.
Republican congress members treated the prisoners like celebrities, rather than people who attacked our capitol police and our very democracy.
Many are now serving long sentences.
4 years ago a mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the Capitol to overturn the election.
Now, Trump wants to pardon these insurrectionists.
In 2023, I visited these prisoners at the DC jail on behalf of the Dems on the Oversight Committee. Marjorie Taylor Greene was there.
Here's what happened: 🧵
