If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

I got my Covid booster this morning (65+). I was supposed to sweep and mop the floors this afternoon, but not up to it. It had nothing to do with the vaccine, I’m just lazy. I trust the science.

David Brooks, a conservative columnist speaks about the amount of people who have died directly as a result of cuts to USAID by Doge. Over 55,000 adults, 6,000 children just from AIDS. That’s a total of 300,000 who have died due to Doge’s cuts. It’s only been four months.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

MAGA and Joni Ernst simply don’t care!

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

WYDEN: Did you promise any tax promoter you would help them if you got confirmed? LONG: I can answer that with an affirmative no W: So you didn't meet w/ anybody when you were in town for the inauguration & promise help? L: Not that I can think of. And I had food poisoning W: We have it on tape

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

Some folks are suggesting that if the White House meets the incredibly low bar it has set itself -- of making one deal, likely with India -- that would restore confidence. I disagree. Our 12th largest trading partner is a lovely place, but it leaves 97.5% of U.S. trade up in the air.

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

I’m not a scholar, but doesn’t the subtitle, “The downside of ditching due process” imply there’s also an upside? wapo.st/43B7bX2

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Sen. Coons on Trump's plans to take Greenland: "It's just insane...He's the president and he's threatening a NATO ally with military action. It's insane. It's unmoored."

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

My wife inadvertently shared a plot twist to Severance, which we watch at different times. A blunder like this is unacceptable, kinda like the VP & Sec of Def sharing military plans on Signal.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
