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.”

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

The orange felon says he will phase out FEMA this year as well as cutting federal aid from states needed to respond to natural disasters. He wants people poor, homeless, sick, suffering, jobless, fully obedient to him or dead. He’s not a president, he’s a blood thirsty dictator.

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable. They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.

Gavin Newsom’s bullseye: “I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

There is no bottom. There is no red line. Trump will violate any law or custom as he pursues a crusade of division. Encouraging members of the military to boo duly elected US officials is disgraceful.

I’ve been saying that I felt Trump’s dramatic escalation in recent days was driven in part by Musk’s emasculation of him last week. I also wonder whether it’s being driven by Zelensky’s profound humiliation of Putin, and Putin lashing out at Trump for not delivering Ukraine to him.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"? Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people. It's the same old failed trickle-down economics.

“Kennedy’s move appears to violate a pledge he made to Sen. Bill Cassidy (R) during his confirmation process that he would ‘maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes’” 👏🏼 That’s why you don’t vote to confirm these people 👏🏼
