A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht. Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island. Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars. We must fight back with all we've got.

When a nation’s leaders exhibit staggering ignorance and lack of basic decorum, it is not merely their reputation that suffers, but the dignity of the entire country that collapses under the weight of their mediocrity.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

This is all so stupid. We could be finding cures for cancer, reversing global warming, ensuring no child grows up in poverty, giving Veterans better health care… Instead we have to resist old Orange Shitface’s attempts to establish himself as king as he’s breaking everything along the way. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😤

Trump can’t figure out how to score a point on Russia or China, so he’s punishing our allies and kicking our own economy in the teeth.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Trump is cutting hundreds of millions in federal funds that Minnesota uses to monitor infectious disease outbreaks like measles and avian influenza. This decision will leave Minnesotans more susceptible to illness. Attorney General Ellison and the State of Minnesota are suing Trump.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

If it’s true that Trump wasn’t briefed on four missing — presumed dead — soldiers in a Lithuania, someone needs to be fired. There’s not much higher on the priority list than MIA soldiers. Whoever dropped the ball there is failing POTUS in an inexcusable way.
