Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

After Donald Trump attacked Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a “dictator without elections” who had duped the U.S. into coughing up billions of dollars in military support, Ukrainian politicians, officials and soldiers leaped to their president’s defense.

Trump and Musk are gutting healthcare, education, and veterans’ support. With Congress on recess, NOW is the time to act. MoveOn members are showing up to demand accountability—we won’t let Republicans off the hook. 👇

The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

Trump said he wanted to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Now that there’s a bipartisan bill in Congress to do just that, will he walk the walk?

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

What? Truly and profoundly unsmart.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a “rookie mistake” when he said a return to Ukraine’s pre-war borders was “unrealistic,” Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker said today.

Thanks to the 13,000 participants who joined me for our telephone town hall this week to discuss violations of the rule of law and escalating threats to key federal government programs, federal workers and vulnerable communities. We’re fighting back. Check it out below.

A growing number of GOP lawmakers are pushing back against Trump’s sweeping cuts to the federal government — but they face monumental challenges in getting the White House to spare their constituents from the ax.

There is a lot of misunderstanding and misrepresentation of what “indirect costs” from the NIH are and what expenses they cover This video has a nice explanation www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxTD...

Germany’s likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said US tech billionaire Elon Musk should be prepared to face consequences for meddling in the German election campaign if he takes office.

A reminder that people losing their jobs in government really do care and worked hard for our country. It’s a big loss.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💘 The forced marriages, frenemies and other odd couples of Trump’s Washington are in a honeymoon phase. But there are breakups waiting to happen.👇
