Welch: I have no faith in him all because he acts like a guy who got a day pass from the memory wing of a nursing home. When you see him on TV, he's slurring. He's not competent. It is just terrifying when you see the chyron that says Trump is reviewing war plans.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) falsely claimed the Minnesota shooter who killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband was a leftist. The shooter, Vance Boelter, was anti-abortion, voted for Trump, and had a hit list of ~45, of Democrats and abortion providers. Sen. Tina Smith is on the list.

The Supreme Court is nearing the end of its term and will soon release decisions in major cases (potentially as early as tomorrow). We wrote about the rulings to watch for that could further roll back our fundamental freedoms, dismantle our democracy, and restrict access to healthcare. 👇

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

Grateful to the men and women in law enforcement who worked around the clock, leaving their families behind on Father’s Day, to apprehend the assassin. Our emergency management team is the best in the business.

I am so proud of the US Army for not training soldiers to march uniformly in lockstep, and for having zero peacocking parade skills. Thank you for having different priorities.

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Despite video we all saw, @NBCNews is treating indisputable facts — that @AlexPadilla4CA did NOT burst into the room and DID ID himself — as debatable. So journalism is now where you’re not even allowed to say what you see with your own eyes? 🤔 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

How can anyone not see the problem with this? This puts everyone in danger when we’re OK with proud bitches going in to peoples houses without a warrant. It’s against the constitution of course, but they don’t care but they’ll go in the wrong house it’s not gonna be pretty

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.
