The only people who want weaker rules against scamming are the ones who run the scams. And this vote would give Elon Musk what amounts to a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card if he rips off customers who use his new app. www.commondreams.org/news/elon-mu...

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

3 days ago, he publicly bullied Zelensky. Earlier today, he stopped all U.S. cyber operations against Russia. And just now, he paused all military aid to Ukraine. Quit beating around the bush. Trump stands AGAINST the free world. He’s on Putin’s side. He’s doing Putin’s work. Shameful. Traitorous.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why Rubio was sinking into the couch. He was hoping no one wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN. Short-sighted, reactionary morons. You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

After Trump & Vance’s utterly disgraceful performance it’s good to see European leaders step up. It’s profoundly American to criticize our leaders when they stray from democratic principles let alone what we are seeing in Trump’s administration. As a proud American I intend to fight for our country.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

I hate to keep harping on this but the Trump administration just gave a huge middle finger to the Sanofi-Pasteur plant in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania. The one that manufactures Fluzone. 3000 jobs in a purple state.

I heard from a constituent who relies on Medicaid to care for her husband with dementia. "Our world will fall apart if the Republicans' budget is approved." This same fear is being felt in every district. Today's vote comes down to this: Will the GOP stand with their constituents or billionaires?

Plenty of people concerned about the current safety of air travel. This is (you guessed it) an unprecedented time. All I can say for certain is that we have lost air traffic controllers. The current system in place has not undergone any unscheduled changes.
