JUST NOW: Sheldon Whitehouse speaks on the Bill Ugly Bill: “This piece of legislation is corrupt. This piece of legislation is crooked. This piece of legislation is a rotten racket. This place feels to me today like a crime scene. The midnight transfer of wealth in this bill is disgusting”

Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

Let’s not kid ourselves. This isn’t a budget vote. This is a vote on who gets to live and who gets to beg for mercy. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

People that call him "Mr President" make me cringe. That SOB incited a mob and championed an insurrection. He deserves zero respect.

I just left the Senate floor after speaking out against the Big Ugly Bill. It breaks my heart that this is what we’ve come to as a Senate — and as a country.

Thank you all dear viewers. ALL pirated videos have been taken down. We did it! It’s a huge relief. Pic is our beautiful Sydney Harbour. As we say to our friends here ‘thanks mate’.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

It’s important to respect the traditions of the filibuster. Unless you want to extend taxes cuts for the wealthy. Then anything goes.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

I think it’s a great idea for Republicans to nominate Lara Trump for the open NC senate seat. Just like it was a great idea to nominate Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, Kelly Loeffler, Kari Lake, Joe Kent, Scott Brown, Mark Robinson, Doug Mastriano, Winsome Sears, Tudor Dixon, on and on.

1,500+ at our Townhall in Wichita, Kansas this morning. Working people across the nation are pissed off about this rigged economy, and they’re showing up. Wichita’s Congressman refuses to host a Townhall, so we pulled up instead.

They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government
