Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Another travel ban. Except for athletes. I wish the World Cup would cancel and boycott the US.

DeLauro uses her opening statement to tear Russ Vought a new one

This is why Zelensky didn’t share anything with Trump. He’s a unserious demented impulsive man.

This is why Republicans were pissed and misrepresented why Biden funded 80,000 more IRS workers. They made it seem like he did it to go after the little guy but he did it so that the IRS would be staffed well enough to go after wealthy people and capture the billions of dollars.

Hey Democrats, there’s a messaging idea: Tell Americans about the brain drain and ask “Is this making America great?”

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

😂

"Maybe it's time for us to be a little bit meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be a little more fierce."

Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about Joe Biden forgetting someone's name, yet we still do not have a book about the fact that dozens of people who have been in sustained contact with Donald Trump say that he is borderline illiterate and not just euphemistically

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

Part of why the media storms on democrat related fake crises is because Republican politicians drive the media by shrieking about things in coordination like an army of misinformation bots Why are Dems not saying that Elon Musk’s drug use should reverse DOGE actions? That Trump allowed this?

Wouldn’t it make logical sense that if Biden died in 2020 and was a robot since then that his handlers would’ve programmed him to kick Trump‘s ass during that debate? This is about as logical as Pelosi being behind the January 6 insurrection to stop the certification of the guy she wanted to win.

I’m glad this made the Times.

@jaketapper.bsky.social if you’re so concerned about exposing the mental in cognitive state of our old presidents, how about you investigate Trump’s in real time? He is becoming more unhinged, detached from reality at times and his mental decline has been on display for years. This is insane.

Trump is unhanded, increasingly untethered to reality, and impulsively dangerous. President Biden couldn’t speak without 10 editorials, saying he should step down, the Trump says crazy shit like this and it’s not a media storm. We’ve become numbed to such a high level of insanity and corruption.
