America Last, Putin First

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

They are obviously slow learners

"Our parents are actively fighting for our country for us to be able to have these rights..." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Mental health therapists at Veterans Affairs should begin sessions with patients saying they are in a shared office space, a memo obtained by NPR says. Trump's back-to-office orders start Monday for VA.

My latest: MTG Caught “Buying The Dip” as AOC @aoc.bsky.social Renews Call to Ban Members’ Trades

Xi: “You don’t have all the cards.”

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

The fight for democracy is the cause of our time. I created Democracy Docket to be fearlessly pro-democracy. No corporate overlords, no compromises, it will never obey. Sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Trump’s trade chaos is undermining our economy and hurting American families. If Republicans have their way on tariffs and their huge tax bill, most Americans will see their taxes go up, while those on top get a big break. We need a trade policy that puts working people first.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

What a duo of tweets.

Seen in Arlington, VA

“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ~The Great Gatsby

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Over $10 trillion.

Where is our humanity?

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Donald Trump just caused: -- The biggest tax increase since 1968 -- The biggest tariff increase since 1930 and the Great Depression -- What is about to be the worst 3-day stock market decline since the Great Depression

Bass: I think one impact of DOGE that people don’t seem to be clued in on right now is the effect of massive layoffs in federal agencies. Those federal workers work in Los Angeles too. We have over 50,000 federal workers here..

This is injecting bleach for the entire global economy. And he's not just floating the idea: he's holding the syringe.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

So let me get this straight: as he was framing Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic as lowlife scum for accurately reporting on him, Mike Waltz was frantically checking his _19_ other secret, national security-threatening Signal chats to make sure he hadn't accidentally invited any journalists to those?

Krugman: “His numbers have nothing to do with reality… bad day for the 🇺🇸 economy…”

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

9 of the top 10 poorest states are Red states. Blue counties are 71% of the U.S. economy while Red counties are only 29%. So if you ever wondered how stupid Trump’s tariff & trade war is, consider that he’s destroying what little economic opportunity Red states have, rather than admit he’s wrong.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

I don’t know y’all I’m starting to think maybe the people at the townhalls weren’t paid actors

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
