Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

@johnfetterman.com Fuck you and your anti-America voting. PA will take care of you for your betrayal and failure as a decent, honest human being

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Trump says poor and middle class Americans are going to feel "pain" in his trade war with Mexico, Canada, and China... ...but that's a sacrifice Trump and the Billionaire class are willing to make.

Spread this far and wide please. Fact check: Trump himself launched the DEI program he now decries in recent plane crashes. #airtrafficcontrol #trump #dei #dccrash #philadelphiacrash #faa #lies #blame #deflection youtu.be/0CF4NOTIrdY?...

Trying to think of a proper response to Trump’s Trade War but figured my Canadian friends could say it best. Much love to Canada & Mexico.🙏

I sent this......

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

I think people who are concerned about the social and political "consequences" of Michelle Obama skipping the inauguration don't know enough working class families and where this ranks on their list of concerns.

President Biden makes his official announcement to the nation and world on the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. FINALLY! Thank you President Biden! 🙏

Bondi sure does love her some Kash Patel.

Deadly serious point from Sen. Peters: You complain about the lowering of standards, but how do we defend if we're lowering the standard for SECDEF? You'd never be hired as a CEO at even a medium sized company.

NEW: Merrick Garland should drop the Florida case and release both volumes of the report. My latest, with a link to email the Attorney General. Please share widely! www.muellershewrote.com/p/merrick-ga...

Jack Smith did his duty. And the public deserves to see the product of his work and that of his team. Before Trump can follow through on his promise to bury it.

It's a great factual article and worth the read... Ben Winkler, and people who think like him are the future of the Democratic Party. He's for putting the working people and Unions! #UnionStrong #Union #midterms #democrat barnraisingmedia.com/ben-wikler-r...

Dear Democratic Politicians & Candidates For Every Office From City Dog Catcher To President, If you are in a new photo or video laughing it up & joking with Trump, do not send me fundraising emails telling me he is America’s Hitler. Don’t ask for my vote either. - Thank you.

The Biden's offer a little ray of sunshine, as they welcome their "first great-grandchild" how adorable! 💖

There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter. Make it useless. Worthless.

Those that said they would never - are kissing the ring. And those who said they would never - are creeping back to X. Seems morals are at a rock bottom low.

Mentally preparing for all the ‘it’s very cold and therefore climate change isn’t real’ takes.

Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:

Big win! The Fish & Wildlife Service will expand Okefenokee Refuge by up to 22,000 acres, protecting it from a proposed titanium mine. Nearly 30,000 public comments showed how special Okefenokee is to people everywhere. Thank you to everyone who spoke up!

Good morning. 🌧️ Let’s shout out Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, who quit WaPo after they killed her cartoon below. 🙌🏽 Let’s NOT shout out WaPo who’s falling in line nicely with fealty to its owner, Bezos, and Trump. Freedom of the press indeed.

Big News: This week, Medicare Part D patients will see their annual out-of-pocket drug costs capped at $2,000. We worked to pass this landmark reform that will help millions of seniors afford their prescription drugs.
