I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

This is new favorite streaming series. TSLA is down 53% since it's high point in December.

CMU students plan protest event for same day and time as white nationalist's

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

Mike Johnson: "The problem is they're being ambushed by right now by in many cases paid protesters. You've got George Soros-funded groups. They are very well organized ... the actual constituents of these Republican members can't actually make it into the arenas."

I needed this laugh 😂 credit @PaulleyTicks

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Yup

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

REPORTER: Can you say unequivocally that down the line, there won't be cuts to Medicaid programs? MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.

So beautifully done.

The usual dance of “moderate” Republicans complaining about everything they just voted for when it affects them. Rinse, repeat.

Farmers: “He was supposed to hurt other people, not us.”

This press conference 🤦‍♀️ What a spongy headed imbecile. What a bunch of gibberish.

The White House calls this Bush-appointed 22 year veteran USDA Inspector General a “rogue, partisan bureaucrat” because they will lie about anything. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

ICYMI — Sharpton led a buy-in to support Costco after they didn’t back down on DEI

I can’t quite gather the thoughts, the dread, the fury, of thinking of Pete Hegseth as SecDef. God help us all. We are a global laughingstock and dangerous to our allies. Hegseth’s inexperience and low morality will cost us dearly. My words are incapable of expressing my disgust.

I can't speak for anyone else, only myself, but for the next four years, I'm going to continue spreading as much love as I can. I will stand up for and protect those who need it. I'm going to embrace all of the things that make me feel good. I won't let their hate win in my life. Fuck 'em.

Trump and Elon have a new motto, "It is only a crime if other people do it, not us." Elon is going to use presidential immunity to the full extent. He paid a lot of money for Trump to buy that right.

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?

When human beings perceive themselves as all-powerful, they reveal their true nature.
