Rand Paul: "Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans and I think that's a huge mistake."

Certainly, this operation was not only successful from a strategic standpoint but also fully in line with the demands of justice. In response to aggression, such a defensive action is entirely justified. Ukraine has every right to take all necessary steps to protect its sovereignty and its people.

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈 This June, we celebrate love, identity, and the ongoing fight for equality. Let’s honor the courage of those who paved the way and stand with the LGBTQ+ community today and every day. 🌈✊ #Pride2025 #loveislove

Did Elon Musk use Trump’s tariffs as leverage to make more and more money for himself?   I called for an investigation, because while Elon is cashing in, everyone else is paying for this chaos. We all deserve answers.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

250 years ago, Americans made it clear that we weren’t going to be ruled by kings. In 18 days, we’re taking to the streets again to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. We hope to see you on June 14 for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Important lawsuit for people who care about free speech & the free press. NPR sues Trump admin over a basic constitutional principle: Congress, not POTUS controls the power of the purse & their fed’l funding www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/b...

America’s aviation system is the gold standard for safety thanks to air traffic controllers who guide every flight, every day. It’s past time for bipartisan action to hire more controllers, upgrade outdated technology, and give them the tools they need to keep our skies safe.

In all the wars we have fought, over a million U.S. servicemembers have died serving our country. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.

Today at AZ CD1 protest. Every Monday morning without fail until we vote Sleepy Schweikert out.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

💥 NEWS: McDonald's shareholders voted Tues. to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. McDonald's Board said the proposal "unduly interferes" with the company's "flexibility and judgment." MCD: "Our success in the future builds on our history of embracing diversity as a competitive advantage."

In Gaza, hospitals have collapsed. Babies ran out of formula. Clean drinking water is gone. Meanwhile, trucks filled with aid are waiting idle by the border. Instead of trying to do a Gaza real estate deal, Trump should press the Netanyahu government to open aid routes & stop starving Palestinians.

Did they return the deportees or just an empty plane? DoJ said they preferred to leave them in Djibouti and give them their 15 days of due process there. @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

My statement about the ICE raids in Phoenix, AZ

"Donald Trump's dinner is a orgy of corruption...Donald Trump is using the presidency of the United States to make himself richer through crypto." - @warren.senate.gov

-$1.5T in new tax cuts predominantly for the rich -$700B in Medicaid cuts -$500B in Medicare cuts -$300B in SNAP cuts -Leasing public lands to Big Oil -Ending IRS Direct File -Ending clean energy tax credits -Banning AI regulation in the states The oligarchy's wish list.

House Republicans pushed through their scam to punish working families across the nation early this morning. Hospitals will close, kids will go hungry, and people will lose their health care. This fight isn't over, Illinois — stand up and speak out as it goes to the Senate.

Disgraceful 🤧

@maricopadems.bsky.social our statement.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Shocked—shocked I tell ya—that an administration stacked with billionaire CEOs and Wall Street bankers would gut the agency that holds corporations accountable for shady practices.

When insatiable greed has no bounds!

Should we tell him?

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

The Constitution makes clear that Congress, not the president, has full and final authority over tariffs. So we're suing—and we'll win. If the president believes his tariffs are so popular, then he should welcome a vote in Congress.

So the people at @msnbc.com helped me make a video on planegate

Three of us who oversaw emoluments enforcement for three presidents, Democratic and Republican, agree: Between the Qatari plane and the UAE crypto cash, this is far over the line Here's how to stop it @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/o...

There's always a tweet.

We did it—together. Because of your support, the MeidasTouch Podcast has officially won Podcast of the Year at the Webby Awards. This honor belongs to you—the Meidas Mighty community that powers everything we do. Thank you.

Republican Tommy Tuberville has blocked a Democratic resolution that would have condemned the proposed gift of a luxury jet from Qatar to Trump.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Don't mess with librarians! The staff the LoC refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their GC. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?
