The DOJ just charged a Russian national with moving hundreds of millions through the system—mostly using a foreign stablecoin called Tether. The GENIUS Act includes a massive loophole that allows Tether to evade basic safeguards. It must not move forward without real fixes.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" brings a sledgehammer to clean energy in America — hurting our fight against climate change while raising energy costs and slashing good-paying jobs. That may be "beautiful" for Big Oil, but it's just another betrayal for working people.

The same president who wants to cut $800B from Medicaid and strip health care from 16 million Americans to fund tax cuts for billionaires...is spending $134M to send troops to CA and $45M on his birthday parade in DC. Burning taxpayer dollars to play king. Un-American.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"? Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people. It's the same old failed trickle-down economics.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Yes. When the richest man alive owns over 5 times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households, our country is rapidly moving towards oligarchy. That is unacceptable. We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

The Secretary of Defense lies under oath, claiming "21 million illegals" entered under Biden. Trump previously invented a 20 million figure out of thin air at a campaign rally. Recently, he randomly started saying 21 million. Now his surrogates are parroting that fake number.

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Trump is aggressively incurious and ignorant about most things outside of thuggery and being on TV, but the new thing this term is that he’s made sure there’s nobody around him to correct him or tell him no. It’s not a good spot for the country.

Lots of people seem to think this is bad for red states too but I’m not so sure. Trump says he wants to personally make the disaster relief decisions. He’ll help his cronies and punish those who won’t kiss his ass. That’s life under mob-style governance.

"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

If any Democratic president used a military audience as partisan prop, Republicans would melt down. The press would melt down. It was considered unthinkable until Trump showed R's and the media that oligarchic rule was within their reach.

We should never let ourselves get desensitized to this. It can’t be overstated how outrageously unpresidential and un-American it is for Donald Trump to speak to the US military like they’re his partisan personal army.

So, to recap, the president says that he's never seen anyone break up concrete with a hammer "so professionally" therefore they had to have been paid. Again, the circular denial of Latino stereotypes while ethnically cleansing them is going to give me an aneurysm.
