Your constituents pay attention to your votes/actions @schiff.senate.gov -we are NOT fooled or swayed by bullshit. You voted for the "Genius Act" twice. You're not fooling anyone by grandstanding with a bill that is dead in the water from the onset. Focus on saving democracy/impeaching the Pres.

HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS. Senate Republicans and their big oil donors are trying to sneak language into the Big Beautiful Bill (for Billionaires) that would sell off millions of acres of public lands. Tell your senators to keep their hands off public lands!

So Trump’s rip off bill, 1,200 pages of pork that the Republicans voted on at 4AM, talks a lot about taking lunch money away from kids Any idea how taking a kid’s sandwich makes the country better?? Waiting… $4 trillion for billionaire tax cuts, but nothing for kids SCAM!

Wonder why ICE workers are so horrible? Whistleblowers who speak out about illegal actions and inhumane conditions are being fired, then replaced with Trump loyalists who won’t ask questions. ICE leadership has seen over a dozen top-level resignations and firings since Trump took office,

"Butt-kissing—the preferred option so far of those attempting to deal with Donald Trump—has been a humiliating failure." "It reinforces Trump’s conviction that he holds all the cards. And when a bully thinks he holds all the cards, no one should expect much fairness or justice." #ElbowsUp

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Historians will one day wonder how it was that someone so famously lacking in good judgment could have been the man to lead the world’s most powerful nation into a war with a proud nation 90-million strong that did not, in any meaningful way, threaten the lives of its people. https://trib.al/dBjNFaN

You can say Trump bombed Iran for any number of more recent reasons but the reality is that he bombed Iran because in 2017 threw out the deal Obama made, specifically because Obama made it, and was completely unable to negotiate a better deal himself.

Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing. Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.
