I want to thank Nancy Pelosi for her devoted work in keeping Henry Cuellar in office. If the Democratic Party did not support him, you might end up with a guy who always votes with Donald Trump, and that would be awful.

No need to parse dog whistles with the advocate for Germany’s neo-Nazi party, who laments the end of Apartheid in South Africa, does sig heils in public, denigrates minorities, and proclaims that white men are inherently superior. Yes, he is. We don’t need to ask anymore, we need to deal with it.

Here's something Dems can consider doing right now: Band together and tell Trump and the GOP that they will not get a single vote for any legislation or nominee until he ends Elon Musk's illegal mission to gut our government. My exchange w/Rep Don Beyer on this: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Dear the Media, When something bad happens in an area under the executive branch's purview, and the White House goes "uh... a Black or gay person must've done it," you do not need to accept that. You're allowed to follow up in pursuit of the factual reason, not the bigoted excuse. Love, The public

We need to stop calling these settlements. Seriously. Be a reporter. He will file suit anytime anyone says anything he doesn't like then offer a settlement. And he'll even sue the places who say good things about him. It's a bribe. And if you can't see that then you're not a serous reporter
