Pete Doocy coming up with a better one-line talking point for Democrats than 90% of Democrats. You don’t have to always speak in run-on paragraphs to try and fail to make your point. Voters remember lines like this, they don’t remember verbal policy essays.

Americans are suffering under the weight of sky-high housing prices. Today, I’m re-introducing my bill with @warnock.senate.gov and @cleaver.house.gov to build 3 million new homes, bring down rents by 10%, and cut red tape that drives up costs. Congress must act.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

It's so easy to picture RFK Jr in a threadbare frock coat and dusty top hat, standing in front of an old wagon loaded with bottles and talking about his miracle all-in-one tonic that cures the pox, rheumatism, bad knees, and baldness. And then dashing out of town just after sundown.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Impossible for cuts this deep to not have incredibly devastating effects on global well-being—in 2024, ~28% of 2024 USAID spending was emergency response distribution of food & medicine alone, another ~15% was HIV/AIDS prevention work, and another ~6% was Malaria/TB/Ebola/etc control

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Elon Musk called a U.S. senator from Arizona—a Navy veteran—a "traitor" for supporting Ukraine. The senator fired back: "Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a core principle of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those who do."

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
