Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Kelly: Senator Ossoff and I introduced legislation to compel the rest of Congress to do what the two of us already do: put your assets into a blind trust, where you don’t have the ability to use any of the information you have to make money because of your job.

According to Sec. Zeldin, his agency had more than 1,500 "wins" to highlight in their first 100 days. So why do so many of them sound so similar? The reality is, he’s overseen cuts to rules and programs that keep us safe and healthy. Far from an accomplishment in my book.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

Republicans pushed forward a bill that could leave more than 13 million Americans without health insurance in the dead of night so Americans would not notice. Arizonans deserve better, and it's why I am running for Congress. David Schweikert won't protect you. I will.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

This is what I wrote in December 2024 and what I continue to believe today. Trump is a bully and bullies prey on the weak. They understand the power of fear and exploit it. Capitulating to Trump makes you more vulnerable, not less. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.
