A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I need everyone to understand that our hostages are in the hands of people who kill babies with their bare hands. No, we cannot cancel the exchange tomorrow. Of course it hurts to take their abuse but you know who is taking a lot more abuse right now?

What Hamas did to the Bibas family is a crime against humanity. There’s no forgiveness.

"The terrorists didn't shoot them, they murdered them with their hands." This sentence, and the horrifying images it evokes, will be burned into my brain forever. Such inconceivable cruelty.

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

How is Yarden Bibas supposed to bury his baby boys without his wife? Why is this poor man being tortured this way?

I figured it out. She thinks he's qualified but for his recent political profile. He's not qualified period.

The first sentence is strange. Why does her statement start with "While"? Why is anything before "Mr. Patel's" in the statement? And what does she mean by "recent political profile"?

Oded Lifshitz, 84, dedicated his life to help Palestinians. He drove sick Palestinians from Gaza to hospitals in Israel for treatments. What a tragedy to see a coffin with his picture carried by Palestinians in Gaza.

Oded was such a gifted pianist. This is how we will remember him: Sitting at his piano, lost in a state of flow, breathing life into every note. The sound of him playing will live in our minds and our hearts for the rest of our lives.

Thank you, @marcelias.bsky.social. That was brave of you. You are a mensch. What you wrote is beyond Musk's ability to comprehend. He has demonstrated a consistence failure of empathy throughout his sad little life, and has never had to answer for it.

If you’ve been directly impacted by the Trump purge of government workers or his Executive Orders, please DM me. I’d like to highlight your story and also see if there are folks in your community that can provide help, if you’re in need. We’ve got to take care of each other.

If you're looking for a possible nominee for President from Democratic Party, follow @petebuttigieg.bsky.social . The one-time "Mayor Pete" has more government policy and administrative experience than Trump, Vance, and the entire Trump cabinet put together.

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it. Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

Kinda weird that SecDef is announcing to the world that he has tax problems. Totally normal to blame Biden for your failure to pay taxes
