Pay attention: Senate Republicans are trying to ram through extreme anti-abortion judges right under our noses. Their goal? A nationwide abortion ban. I’ll keep fighting back against nominees that want to take away our freedoms.

The Supreme Court approved this today.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov this needs to be stopped immediately.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

This is bad. Republicans have fixed the contempt provision in the billionaire bailout bill so bond has to cover the costs. It can’t be $1 anymore. This will neutralize the court’s ability to hold Trump in contempt, and only rich people will be able to file injunctions against the government.

As I noted in today’s post, this really was the most egregious thing that happened in LA yesterday and that’s saying an awful lot

Everything is a Distraction.

Dem Senators, shut down Senate until Noem resigns after Sen Padilla violently arrested. Sen Padilla (D-CA) tried to ask question at press conference in LA hosted by Noem, Sec'y of DHS. For doing so, law enforcement removed Padilla forcibly, handcuffed him, and pushed him to the ground. NOEM MUST GO!

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

If you see 🧊, pull up your navigation app (Waze and Google Maps) & report icy road conditions. Spread the word.

It’s time for Republican Senators to speak up and support an independent investigation into what happened to Senator Padilla—and it’s time for Kristi Noem to resign.

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte

Hey. Don’t forget about the Epstein files. Attacking citizens and handcuffing US Senators is a great way to distract us from the Epstein files. When are they going to be released?

If you silence free speech and trample the Constitution, you’re the lawless one. “Just obeying orders” is not a defense.

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

Same here.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

This morning Daniel Hodges @semperwry.bsky.social and I filed a lawsuit against the Architect of the Capitol for their failure to comply with Congress' law to install the January 6th plaque

75 democratic lawmakers voted to thank ice for their service.... the same ice that just physically assaulted and arrested Senator Padilla...

We know.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

I’m so excited to return to The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert! I did such a great job last time, they asked me back a mere 8 years later. #TheLifeOfChuck

Its crazy to me that there is more Biden news being covered rather than the occupant of the oval office who is suffering from cognitive decline. Well actually, is it cognitive decline? He's been dumb his whole life. Good morning y'all.

Republicans like to call their legislation a “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Today the nonpartisan CBO showed us the truth: their bill would kick almost 11 million people off their health insurance & balloon the deficit by $2.4T. That’s not “beautiful”—it’s the Great Betrayal in action.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Wells Fargo has a long record of breaking the law—and this past year, was caught violating anti-money laundering, consumer protection, and securities laws. Lifting the asset cap was a grave mistake. The Fed must show its work and turn over Wells Fargo's exam reports to Congress.
