JFC? What do you mean, JFC?

Well, I was waiting for this day to come: The NOAA's page on billion-dollar weather disasters is dead

#SOTU GUEST: A veteran and former IRS Officer, James Diaz was laid off in his words due to DOGE and the Trump administration “taking a chainsaw” to job cuts without “doing some critical thinking,” I am honored to have James as my guest for the State of the Union. youtu.be/JyGqbJ20jKE

It’s National Wildlife Day. What’s your favorite animal?

We have an event with Knox Co. Dems coming up March 8.

Yesterday’s stupid bullying did one thing: the rest of the world now knows America’s commitment is worth the same as a three dollar bill with Trump’s portrait on it. It puts our country in a dangerous situation if we lose our friends and need to fend for ourselves alone. 🧵4/4

…causing The Hague to issue an arrest warrant for Putin in 2023 for the unlawful forced movement of children across borders. Putin has left much of Ukraine in ruins and Trump insists that Zelenskyy play nice? 🧵3/4

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialMar 1(source)

Ukraine has lost hundreds of thousands of its people since Russia invaded. (And our President doesn’t even accept that fact.) Russia has stolen nearly a million children from their families in Ukraine… 🧵2/4

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialMar 1(source)

In 2023, I was able to welcome Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to the U.S. Capitol and say “America stands strong with you and your people.” I meant it then and I mean it now. What happened at the White House yesterday was an absolute embarrassment. 🧵1/4

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialMar 1(source)

Call his DC office. His staff in Peoria (hopefully) is doing constituent work for the people. But he surely has to own up to his blind support for all of this.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 28(source)

After the embarrassment at the White House today, we probably should be talking about the cognitive decline again.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 28(source)

Out of one, many.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 27(source)

Yes, soon. We have been down to one person in our communications team and she’s crushing it…but the new hire will be working on this as soon as he sits down. Thanks!

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 27(source)

This is a campaign/personal account. Ethically, they must be kept very separate. But we will be adding a BlueSky account to official channels (and may stop posting to X entirely).

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 26(source)

Sounds thrilling!

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 25(source)

Did someone burn all the history books that were left in the White House? Map from 1794.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialFeb 23(source)

Holy shit.

America, they’re stealing from you.
