Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

Big departure from normal practice US Atty Alina Habba announced criminal case against Rep LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) on... social media But the charging document wasn't accessible to the public or McIver's defense.. until half a day later McIver: Charges are "purely political"

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

GALLEGO: You requested $50m for a Gulfstream jet. Meanwhile, Rs are about to kick 13m off Medicaid. How can you justify that? NOEM: It's to replace a jet that's over 20 years old G: Would you be using it for travel? N: No idea G: We've seen the Instagram photos. Some really bad weapons handling.

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

The left needs a Joe Rogan who is 300 feet tall and plays a tiny little fiddle. And when he gets angry he huffs and puffs but he's calmed down by a good friend who is a regular-sized elephant but looks teeny by comparison. Just absolutely itsy bitsy. And both of them are extremely anti-circumcision.

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Nearly 14 million Americans will lose their health care if this gets signed into law. This bill does not “save” Medicaid. It breaks it.

Trump flashes a bunch of printouts of web pages and pushes the myth of white genocide in South Africa. The mainstream media would have you believe this is normal behavior and the real story is Joe Biden.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

Goldman on McIver charges: "I want to know what prosecutor is going to put his or her name on that indictment ... Alina Habba doesn't care. She's a hack. She doesn't even know how to introduce evidence in court during a trial, and yet she's the US attorney in New Jersey."

The GOP tax bill makes the super-rich super-richer while robbing the working-class majority blind. Democrats are wide awake and standing unified to fight this historic ripoff.

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

They are so dumb. So very, very dumb.

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

❗️All mobile operators in 🇪🇸Spain are down — LBC All mobile networks are down across Spain, just four weeks after the country was hit by a nationwide blackout.

Statement from the NJAG Matt Platkin

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars? Do I have that right, humans?

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

US taxpayers will now pay Ashli Babbitt’s family $5 million.

This is truly sickening

My statement on the charges filed against me:

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Jeffries on the $5m payout to Ashli Babbitt's family: "This settlement is just an extension of what they've previously done, which is to pardon violent felons who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6, including police officers."

Class and dignity in everything.

How can you not respect this woman when she describes Jake Tapper’s book as “fairy smut.”

You’ve been hearing a lot recently about the Supreme Court reaffirming the right to Due Process. But the next big fight will be over exactly what process is due. I’ll offer my take on the road ahead to Democracy Docket premium members in the morning. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

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!

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME & I ONLY GET KID ROCK??? WAAAAAHHH!!!!! 😩

Guys can we just revoke this baby’s victim card? So beta Seriously such a beta. This guy is absolutely unworthy to be commander of military men and women

Statement from The Seneca Project on President Joe Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis Sending our heartfelt support, love and best wishes to the Biden family for a full and speedy recovery. Keep fighting, Mr. President. We’ve got your back.

I’m sorry. This is fucking inhumane. Period.

No shit.

I’ll never understand the way Democrats treat their own. This is so outrageous. @jasmineforus.bsky.social is a huge asset. What is Dem leadership doing?

Show your support for @repjasmine.bsky.social

What happened to the “thugs and criminals” being the targets???

Is the media aware that Joe Biden is no longer President? Because I have heard more about a book on his age than I’ve heard about the fact Republicans are about to gut healthcare for 8.6 million people.

⚡️Zelensky gifts pope with icon from war-torn Izium. Zelensky presented Pope Leo XIV with the icon"Mother of God with Child," painted on an artillery box. The icon represents children "who suffered from the war, who were deliberately kidnapped and deported by Russia."
