Was speaking at an iftar last night and noted that no religion encourages people to be selfish, mean or hateful. But there are lots of politicians who drape themselves in religion to spread their hatred. Speaker Johnson is only the latest iteration.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world. Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

Donald Trump loves to talk. But last night he avoided talking about his own real actions. He avoided talking about his Medicaid cuts. He avoided talking about Musk firing thousands of veterans. He avoided talking about his tax cuts for billionaires. We will make sure Americans know the truth.

Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social: It's interesting to me that the people that are going after waste, fraud, and abuse would do away first with the division, whose job it was to guard against improper payments, waste fraud and abuse... This is totally irresponsible.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
