Sen Lisa Murkowski: The Constitution gives Congress the power to assess and levy tariffs. Congress needs to reassert its authority as the Constitution prescribes.

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for punishment in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

President Trump's popular vote victory was among the narrowest in modern U.S. history; it exceeds only the two elections (of Bush in 2000 and himself in 2016) in which the loser of the popular vote became the president.

I called for an independent investigation into Donald Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education, and now, it's happening. This investigation will reveal what's at stake for families. While Trump and Musk side with billionaires, I'll side with our kids.

It has been noticeable, to me at least, that Elon Musk is being marginalized in the WH. Trump is holding a cabinet meeting today and Musk won't be there. He hasn't been around all week as far as I've been able to tell. It seems the Wisconsin election caused his star to fade.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

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.
