WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Oh look. The Press Secretary is lying again

Important journalism here. RFK Jr. is remaking our public health system and casting doubt on other sources of medical knowledge. If he's this careless and lazy in releasing his own recommendations, how can he be trusted with the health of the American people?

Pushback matters.

More grift against American taxpayers...

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.

Is this accurate? If so, this is an affront to the American people.

"The world’s richest men are killing the poorest children." -- @billgates.com

Please add the Supreme Court and president to this legislation.

Why are these agents masked and out of uniform?

Speak Truth.......🎯💯🔥

What is the point of this heartlessness? Who could possibly believe this is a policy that benefits the American people?

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Rep. Jim Himes: "You have a very serious allegation of the compromising of intelligence for political purposes — something DNI Gabbard said she would not permit. Here is a textbook example of twisting intelligence to achieve a political end. That is not okay."

This is the question that should be asked of this administration repeatedly: "It's clear how this decision benefits you. How does it help the American people?"

*gates of heaven open* Assembled choir of angels: Norm!

The mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia is an atrocity. That's why I'm leading a bipartisan resolution with Sen. Grassley to call for the return of these abducted kids. They cannot be used as pawns in this war.

Once again, how does this help the American people? And by what lights is this promoting freedom of choice?

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies. Meanwhile Elon Musk makes $8 million every single day from the government.

Saved the Apollo 13 crew with a piece of cardboard, a plastic dry cleaning bad, and duct tape. 💪🏻🏅🇺🇸

Statement from the #MusiciansUnion of the United States 🇺🇸 and #Canada 🇨🇦 to the fat bastard #BruceSpringsteen #TaylorSwift

We cannot afford these tax cuts, and the people who will benefit are the richest among us and don't need them.

The Congressman is right. Even floating this idea is shameful. Immigrants are human beings, who possess inherent dignity and worth, just as each of us do. Asking them to compete for a legal home for our collective entertainment demeans us all. It's grotesque and betrays a disfigured conscience.

Sen. Ron Johnson: “It’s a mistake to do one big beautiful bill. We’re actually going to add to the deficit… It’s not a big beautiful bill. That’s called rhetoric. It’s mislabelling. It’s false advertising.”

To paraphrase James Carville, "It's the corruption, stupid!" Dems should run on being the party of reform (enacting badly needed guardrails) and not ripping voters off. That's a message everyone would understand. Our current administration is stacked with shameless grifters.

👀⚖️👇🏾

Ouch!

Why are we, American taxpayers, paying for this? The corruption and entitlement in this administration is breathtaking.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

When discussing the Qatari proposal to “gift” a plane to the US President, the only two relevant topics requiring discussion are professional ethics and level of corruption.
