According to the Constitution we are both sworn to defend, my attention to this matter comes BEFORE bombs fall. Full stop.

The Marine Corps is the most lethal fighting force on the planet. They are trained in killing and destruction, not law enforcement.
Their presence in LA is unnecessary and escalatory.
Trump is looking for a bloody fight and seems determined to fan the flames til he gets it.
Disgusting. What a profound misunderstanding of what our country and this institution stands for.
At the core of MAGA is a deep insecurity about one’s own manhood and sexuality. That’s why all the muscle displays, military cosplaying and school yard bullying.
Imagine any icon of manliness from Marcus Aurelius to Gary Cooper doing this BS. You can’t. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
Thank you #Trumbull for a wonderful Memorial Day ceremony and parade! Seems like the whole town turned out to remember our fallen.
The Republican budget bill will throw millions of Americans off Medicaid and take food from about 40 million Americans, all so that the Top 1% can get HUGE tax benefits.
And it adds $3 trillion to our debt.
Voting no is a no-brainer.
Hung out with the Eastern Middle School 8th graders this morning.
The selfie game is strong with these ones.

"What the president, the administration, and the director of national intelligence were saying...is the exact opposite of what the intelligence community, which purportedly the director of national intelligence runs, was actually saying." @jahimes.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

I’m talking with Congressman @jahimes.bsky.social at 2:30 pm ET on Substack Live about the latest breaking news on DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s misrepresentations about the Maduro regime’s ties to Tren de Aragua (TDA).
Subscribe to watch!
This report, now declassified so you can read it for yourself, says that the intelligence community DOES NOT believe that Venezuela directs Tren de Aragua.
The President said otherwise.
Tulsi Gabbard, who runs the IC, said otherwise.

Himes: We’re negotiating with the Russians apparently right now over Ukraine, right? Is it possible that our negotiating position is on that Signal chat? Yes, it is. So anyway, it’s Christmas morning in Beijing, Moscow… because of the lack of operational security that these guys are showing.
I don’t remember this pitch during the campaign.
Mark Carney and I were in school together. If I had said to him, “Mark, someday Donald Trump will be President of the United States, and he is single-handedly going to make you Prime Minister of Canada”, he would have called campus security to take me home.
In a Democracy, the FBI Director doesn’t tweet about arresting judges and the AG doesn’t brag on TV that she will “come after” the judiciary. Judge Dugan’s arrest is a blatant publicity stunt and an obvious attempt by Donald Trump to intimidate judges who disagree with him.
Sixty seconds of thoughts on the importance of people power if Trump decides to ignore the courts.
Fantastic rally in Norwalk today. Over a thousand folks standing up against authoritarianism.
“This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.” Fin
"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.” 4/5
“The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dint of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions." 3/5
