Trump is spending $134 million to needlessly deploy troops to LA and $45 million to throw himself a birthday military parade — he seems to think the US military is a toy for his amusement, funded by American taxpayers.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

I want to honor the sacrifices of our servicemembers with better pay, housing, and child care. Donald Trump wants to honor his own birthday with an extraordinarily expensive and inconvenient military parade.

Trump has fired: VA employees Top national security officials Folks that screen miners for black lung Researchers preventing kids from getting addicted to tobacco … but thinks a birthday parade that will inconvenience thousands of Virginians is a good use of taxpayer money?

The Republican bill is a disaster—for American families, for the environment, for the average family’s budget, and for our global leadership in clean energy.

Mr. Trump picked a 22-year-old with ZERO experience to tackle U.S. extremism. 5 years ago he was a gardener. Last year, he worked in a grocery store. Only the best people!!!

We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us?  Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?

Weird how Republicans say they’re worried about Big Tech and government overreach...until it’s Elon Musk. We tried to subpoena him over privacy concerns and data abuse. They blocked us. They’re not doing oversight—they’re doing cover-ups.

The Republican tax bill will throw 16 MILLION off their health insurance and add $2.4 trillion to the deficit. Just how big is $2.4 trillion? If you were counting to it, it would take over 76,000 years (counting continuously, day and night, a number a second).

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Republicans love to pretend they care about veterans, but their voting records tell the truth—they don’t give a damn. Trump insults veterans, & they slash VA jobs, gutting benefits for those who served. Our veterans fought for your freedom, and this is how the GOP & MAGA repays them? Pure betrayal.

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs

Trump 2.0 made me so worried that he would again separate families at the southern border. I was right about the fear, and wrong about the location. He’s separating families and abducting people — everywhere. Including right here in Massachusetts.

In his first 100 days, Trump targeted not only the universities driving global research but also the scientists, scholars, and students behind that progress—undermining America’s leadership in innovation and putting our future in science and discovery at risk.
