Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social : “The biggest transfer of wealth from the working poor to billionaires in our history… My generation already expects we'll never be able to afford a home, get out of debt, retire— Trump and the Republicans are making it worse.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" in a nutshell: 14 MILLION people losing their health insurance just so Jeff Bezos can buy another $500 MILLION yacht.

🔥 Senator @ossoff.bsky.social: “Who out there is sitting at home demanding we shut down cancer & Alzheimer’s research? We’re going to pay for this for a century. Irreversible damage has been done. It’s an outrage.” On Trump, DOGE, & the GOP’s budget cuts (to make way for tax cuts for the rich)

This isn’t true. Now, Evil Elmo & Thiel can feed ALLLLLLL of American’s private data into Palantir. Why?? That’s what we’d all like to know!

Doug Jones should take a crack at the seat. Nothing to lose, maybe you get lucky on another GOP freak implosion plus a strong national swing, and if nothing else it forces them to burn some money shoring it up they otherwise wouldn’t.

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

📌Instead of firing the treasonous Hegseth ON THE SPOT for recklessly putting our troops in danger, Trump ran him out on Fox News this morning to see if he could fool their audience with all his blabbering bullshit propaganda. THIS is how little they think of America and our troops.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Something is off here. There has been no confirmation the Secret Service was by her table when a man who sure sounds like a professional thief—or spy—took valuable, national security-implicating items from her. And there is no statement about who she was with. And she is rumored to be in an affair.

The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired.

To those making up Republican leadership, it's YOU motherfuckers that are enabling this shit. It is on YOU. You could end this shit quickly. It's YOU people are pissed the fuck off at. Don't you fuckers even think about blaming Trump, Musk...or any-fucking-body else. YOU are fucking responsible.

This is the absolute truth. Too many electeds now consider their political careers first, and their constituents last. You're there to create legislation & work to govern the nation, not fold to bullies. If it's that easy to give away your Constitutional powers, you don't belong there.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

I watched this happen and knew I would have to come up with the words to describe it and its impact. As I read for inspiration I came across this, and Mr. Conway is correct here. This headline sums it up perfectly. Well done.

Listen Chuck, I know your brows are furrowed to the max and if you had some pearls you'd be clutching them the way you clutch on to your Dem "leadership" but...take some action? Are you aware of what Sen Chris Van Hollen is doing? How about you hop on that wagon? Or just step down. That works too.
