CBO is a nonpartisan, neutral org. Its director, Phill Swagel, worked in the GWBush administration and was appointed by Republican lawmakers to his current post. For many reasons, it's laughable that he or his professional colleagues would be cooking the books to help Democrats.

Speaker Johnson keeps lying, telling Americans the GOP is "not cutting Medicaid." While Joni Ernst is flat-out telling her constituents that "we're all going to die" anyway.

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

Let me introduce you to Josh Divine, a Trump judicial nominee who as a student newspaper opinion columnist explained opposition to homosexuality by grouping it with bestiality, polygamy, and “any form of sex that goes against the biological design of procreation and the nurturing of a family.”

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.
