Senator Jeff Merkley on the backlash against Chuck Schumer for capitulating on the CR: "I think they will be hugely upset, and well-justified. You don't stop the bully by handing over your lunch money, and you don't stop an authoritarian president by giving him more power."

I know people will take advantage of the Q&A to mock him, I’d recommend getting creative at the book signing. They’re at the end of the event; the author is a little tired and off guard. “And who should I make this out to?” “Go fuck yourself. G-O F-U-C-…”

The Tate Brothers have been charged with human trafficking, having sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering and starting an organized crime group, so it’s hard to tell what role they’ll play in the Trump administration.

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Senator Ron Johnson should be in prison for his part in the fake electors scheme, not conducting investigations. We're in Upsidedownlandia.

Why aren’t they giving the American people any semblance of fighting back?! The GOP pulled all punches during the Obama administration. They’re laying down and the American people are fucking petrified. I vibrate with anxiety bc of where we are.

Part of the key here is that as these guys' backgrounds have been dug into, almost all of them have histories of VERY transgressive behavior. Not all of its terrible behavior but sort of young guy line-jumping, rule-cutting, & well .... nazi-friending stuff often, just on steroids. They fit a type.

Breaking: Trump has denied Georgia’s request to extend the disaster aid deadline for Hurricane Helene recovery, despite $5.5B in agricultural losses. Sorry Georgia. You voted for him. Didn’t they say it was Democrats withholding FEMA funds?

Article I has totally failed. And again, we should just abolish the Senate confirmation process. It clearly serves no purpose anymore, & it gives a shameful veneer of legislative legitimacy to the criminal authoritarianism. Also, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins are total embarrassments & cowards.

Today, I filed a lawsuit seeking to end Elon Musk’s access to the Treasury Department’s central payment system. I will not allow Trump & Musk to use government efficiency as a smokescreen to slash funding to anything and everything that doesn’t align with their political agenda.
