We will not let the Trump Administration attack disability rights and get away with it.

Today, I led Senate Democrats in introducing a resolution that calls on Trump's DOJ to rescind its dangerous memo and uphold the true promise of Olmstead.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & the U.A.E. could soon influence:

CNN
CBS
HBO
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
MTV
& more

Why? They’re dumping $24B into Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros.

We can't let countries with a record of censorship dictate what you watch. I’m pressing for accountability.

One of the many reasons I have started buying CDs again to beef up my Plex server. Cutting off streaming music but still being able to stream what I own and add things in real time is great.
False equivalence. This is a convo about ownership. Spend $10.99/mo on CDs and in a year you've got 12 CDs. Yours forever even if you go broke and can't buy more. Spend $10.99/mo on streaming and then have to cancel? You've spent the same $ and you have...nothing. These are not equivalent systems.
I don't believe these complaints are really genuine in general but this one is especially specious. For $10.99 a month I get access to basically all recorded music. This is somehow inferior to the previous system where for $10-15 I could buy one (1) album

If anyone in the media is looking for a quote in response to the $50 million lawsuit that was just filed against me and others. Here is my only statement until I speak to my lawyers:

“lol.”

Been sitting with how many Black Civil rights leaders bled and died to ge the voting rights act only for it to be struck down by this white supremacist supreme court.

This is from bloody Sunday which catalyzed passage of the VRA.

It's hard not to shed tears at what we've lost.

In the last year, Trump's ICE arrested 125 Veterans—most without criminal warrants.

They tried to deport 282 Vets and their family members.

There is no higher betrayal to our Veterans than to be deported by the same nation they sacrificed to defend.

I want a democratic Iran. And I won’t shed a tear for the Ayatollah’s death.

But my first concern will always be the national security of the United States.

Trump is putting our troops and all Americans in danger without any real reason he can explain.

Let’s be clear: Secretary Collins’ decision to finally rescind this disastrous rule is a direct result of the VSOs and the more than 20,000 Veterans who filed public comment and called him on his bullshit.

It’s Kent Nishimura. He’s one of the best photojournalists of this era. Please use his name.
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Hey, literally everyone in the lefty media... you do not have to give it to rightwing shitheads like Tillis or MTG who occasionally say something critical of Trump but agree with him on literally every other policy.

Tillis is a POS who ran on scaring people over voter suppression. Fuck him.
REPUBLICAN SEN. THOM TILLIS: “Senator Lindsey Graham mentioned a $10 billion lawsuit from the president. Really? Where’s that money come from, the money fairies or your pocket?”

The corruption is endless.

We’re in court challenging ICE’s denial of access to legal counsel to people held at the detention center cruelly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz."

Access to an attorney is a right, not a privilege.
