“I’m saddened for our country — but we cannot afford to run from this moment. Trump and his Republican sycophants will not back down until they have suppressed our voices and our ballots, and we cannot back down until we have protected free and fair elections.”

Joni Ernst is an idiot & an embarrassment to her military career & to her constituents. Iowa, you deserve better than Ernst & Grassley. The condescension is astounding. #norespect #wakeup #countryoverparty

President Trump and his family are extorting billions of dollars from US companies and foreign nations. In new piece for @TheAtlantic I examine past US corruption - and conclude Trump can't be compared to anything American, only Russia or Africa. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

June 14 is Chump’s birthday & his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions WE take everywhere else. Join the nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than the felon’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I pray for the folks who serve in the military. May they be safe. May they understand the difference between propaganda and truth & may they rise UP if they are ever told to betray their promise to the United States and its Constitution.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Part of the bill that Republicans jammed through includes something you may have missed: Defunding Planned Parenthood. There's nothing "pro-life" about defunding breast exams, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, and so much more. Over 1 million women could lose access to care.

In ICE custody, Dr. Badar Khan Suri faced horrific treatment and was falsely labeled a highly dangerous offender — just because of his pro-Palestine speech. Badar is home now, but he should never have been detained in the first place. The First Amendment is for everyone.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

Just because someone speaks out against Netanyahu’s genocide doesn’t mean they r anti Israel or an anti semite. I know of many Israelis who don’t stand w Netanyahu & see him for who he is, a corrupt a-hole interested in protecting himself. I ♥️ my Jewish friends but abhor that POS just like 47!

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.
