Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

Gen-X knows 🤣

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

This is how it’s done.

Thank you Canada ❤️

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

"Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth."- Mike Pence on X, an hour ago

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

trump, by the numbers: 3 days since flood 2 days of golfing 11 laps in Daytona $5 million taxpayer dollars 14 dead in Kentucky 77 Truth Social posts ZERO posts about the Kentucky victims. NOT. ONE.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Someone turned it into a meme 🤣🤣🤣

I absolutely love this idea.

Trump is running America like a business. Like the 6 businesses he drove into bankruptcy -- and the 60 more that failed and shut down.

Happy Flag Day to all you Canadians! We hate him too.

The community note 🤌😘

This says it all

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

He’s extremely orange today 🍊🍊🍊

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

This aged well.

John Fetterman announces he will be voting NO on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

Seems like a good time for a refresher on Donald Trump’s Rules for Governing: Step 1: Create crisis Step 2: Blame Democrats Step 3: Rant on Truth Social Step 4: Profit from crisis Step 5: Claim to resolve crisis Step 6: Declare victory Step 7: Golf Step 8: Repeat Any questions?

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Trump got Mexico to send the same 10,000 troops to the border that Biden already got them to commit. Trump got Canada to agree to the same measures to fight fentanyl that Biden already got them to agree to six weeks ago. Wow. What a dealmaker!

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

This whole trade war is because Justin is just so damn fine.

GOP, remember when Biden gave George Soros control over the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds & federal contracts—then used it to cut off anyone he didn’t like? Me neither, because that never happened. But it’s what Trump & Elon Musk are doing now w/out congressional approval.

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year. 43 pounds.

Canada is not the problem

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

She puts on a new costume every day

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy." James Dennehy, FBI NY Field Office

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
