Lorenz: If you're going to talk about death and violence, it's crucial to talk about the death and violence of our health care system.

Lorenz: We have uninsured Americans with a 40% higher risk of death compared to insured— Hannity: That’s not the topic.

Homan: I cannot believe for a minute there is that many stupid people in the world. AOC, on the smart meter, she’s a zero. I will give them that. I can't believe these people really believe what they're saying

Tapper: You yourself did something that a lot of people would call brave when you wrote your op ed. Clooney: Well, I don't know if it was brave. It was it was a civic duty…

Sanders: I am no great fan of the Roberts Supreme Court… but we live under the rule of law. Donald Trump, obey the Supreme Court of the United States.

Sanders: Our conservative friends say, “We support the Constitution.” Well, if you support the Constitution, you don’t throw people into detention centers in El Salvador.

AOC: And I know you know that—because you’ve sent an amazing state representative, Zooey Zephyr, to the state capitol.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

New Trump Executive Order Clears Way for Federal Office Relocations and Sell-Offs Trump rescinds Carter- and Clinton-era directives, giving agencies freedom to relocate—and potentially rewarding political allies with federal leases meidasnews.com/news/new-tru...

Powell: We will never be influenced by any political pressure. People can say whatever they want and that is fine. We will do what we do strictly without consideration of political factors.

Powell: As that great chicagoan Ferris Bueller once noted, life moves pretty fast.

Powell: The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth.

Earhardt: Pete Hegseth would have a bagel with cream cheese, drop it, it would land upside down, cream cheese on the floor.. It was so gross, and he would just pop it in his mouth.

Koh: So we're playing politics with funding that's supposed to currently be going to Alzheimer's victims, stroke victims, diabetes victims. And that advancement can't wait for politics.

Sanders: We are seeing unbelievable turnout. We were in Idaho — Idaho! — and 12,000 people showed up. We had 20,000 in Salt Lake City. I think what the American people — Republicans, Independents, and Democrats — are saying is: Sorry, Mr. Trump, we don’t want your oligarchy.

Sanders: What the ruling class of this country does… is essentially tell you that you are powerless. They say, ‘Ain’t nothing you can do — because we, the oligarchs, got all the money, we own the Congress’ Well, we’re here this evening to tell them: hey guys, you got it wrong.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

AOC: I heard that someone was flying a plane with a banner that said this is Trump country… It sure don’t look like it today. I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

Gonzalez: Are you on the side.. that sends them to foreign prisons without due process? No. I’m on the side of the fucking constitution

Question: Why are you such a coward in the face of it obvious fascist takeover? Greene: Scary. That's scary. You know, I have yet to see a fascist gathering. That does not exist in the Republican Party.

Protester to Greene: You butch body bigot!

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

Biden: Why are these guys taking aim at social security now? They are following that old line from tech startups. The quote is move fast, break things. Well, they are certainly breaking things… They want to wreck it so they can rob it

Biden: One called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme? What the hell are they talking about? People earned these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They rely on that benefit.

Biden: Fewer than 100 days into this new administration, they have done so much damage and destruction. It is kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon.

Biden: By the way, those 300-year-old folks on social security, I would like to meet them. Helluva thing, man. I'm looking for longevity. Because it is hell when you turn 40 years old

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Reporter: The president has said it would be an abuse of power for the president to direct prosecutors to investigate him. He directed the DOJ to scrutinize Chris Krebs.. How is that not an abuse of power? Leavitt: It’s the position of the president that it’s well within his authority to do it

Leavitt: We are complying with all court orders… you have seen that

GOP Rep. Brian Mast was relentlessly booed after telling his town hall audience that he loves DOGE.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

This is the energy we need!!! bsky.app/profile/acyn...

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Jeffries: One, we do need to change the law so that sitting members of congress cannot trade stock. Period. Full stop

Jeffries: The Supreme Court and or the federal district court actually needs to enforce its order. And the vehicles that are available relate to contempt, and that contempt can be directed at a variety of different members of the administration, including the Secretary of State…

Warren: But this also happens to be a case where it’s not just the DOJ and SEC with jurisdiction. State attorneys general all across the country have power here too. That’s why a group of us just sent a letter to every state attorney general, urging them to launch independent investigations.

Trump: The supreme court, it was 9-0? Miller: In our favor, against the district court ruling, saying no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy

The Trump administration told a U.S.-born citizen to self-deport

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

AOC: And you know who from Utah voted for that? Both of your senators—Mike Lee and John Curtis Crowd: Boooo AOC: They know that’s not what you want. But they also know they’re not there to serve the working class—they’re there to serve themselves and the billionaires who paid them
