Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it's taxpayers who lose.
Today, I invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.

Montana State Rep. Zooey Zephyr (D) ahead of vote to bar her from the state House for the rest of the session:
“I have had friends who have taken their lives because of these bills ... When I rose up and said, 'There is blood on your hands,' I was not being hyperbolic.”

Maddow: "Gun murders, mass gun murders, are so common in this country that it's entirely possible that you might survive a mass shooting only to endure another one. That happened today to Ashby Beasley."
Watch what this woman says. It's just unreal.

They tried to ban drag in Arkansas, and anyone wearing clothes not “of their gender identity” performing.
So drag artists and activists got together and sang Seasons Of Love on the Capitol Steps.
All references to drag have since been removed from the bill.
Y’all rock.

People do not understand that we are about to lose far more than any painting. Listen to the words of Sir David Attenborough. We are on course for the collapse of the liveable world. It is a nightmare that people can’t see this after 35 years of constant warnings #VanGogh

Before the long weekend I thought I'd check in with my kiddos....I was surprised who needed what & what they chatted with me about. I'm grateful my kiddos are so willing to open up to me. Today was 🥰 #TeacherLife #StudentTeacherRelationships
