Ha ha ha ha!

Reminder: I have legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent and put an end to the senseless twice-a-year clock changing.

Do think Musk hacked the 2024 election? Rep. Maxine Waters does. Is this why Trump is so cowed by Musk? Is he entirely beholden to him?

God, I love seeing Jasmine Crockett as a rising star.

No bone spurs detected.

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

I want to make sure the government funding bills Congress drafts are written to help the people I represent—NOT Elon Musk’s bottom line. It's tough to write laws that reflect reality when Elon shuts government programs on & off like a two-year-old with a light switch.

I spoke with Viva Farms' Michael Frazier about how Trump & Elon have frozen federal funding they are owed under LAW—putting their entire operation & their farms at risk. Trump's illegal funding freeze and tariffs could seriously WIPE OUT an entire generation of family farms.

I will be like my Senator, and will boycott tonight's speech.

Lindsey Graham is the definition of a weak, sniveling, gutless opportunist — an unprincipled political weather vane who grovels before power with embarrassing desperation. A hollow man with no convictions, no integrity, and no spine, shifting his loyalties whenever it serves his personal interests.

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This is what a real leader looks like!!

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

NEW: This is a powerhouse summit gathered in London. Starmer has confirmed UK & France are now leading the peace process, with Ukraine. Trump has disqualified himself & the US. UK has also agreed to use profits from seized Russian assets to fund Ukraine 👏 Leaders attending: 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇨🇦🇪🇸🇵🇱🇩🇰🇳🇴🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇱🇨🇿🇷🇴🇹🇷🇪🇺

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.

Supporting Ukraine is not "doing business" as Lindsey Graham seems to think. It's defending a democratic nation from Russian aggression. I regret that our support must benefit the industrial military complex, but it must also include diplomatic and humanitarian support as well.

If Congress approves additional aid to Ukraine, does Trump have to sign off on it? In other words, can Congress make an end-run?

what a day

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

My Anger Over Trump's Attack Today Is Boundless open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 @blue-eyed.bsky.social

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

📌You know Gene Hackman was one of the finest actors who ever lived. There wasn't a part he couldn't play convincingly ... But did you also know he was a lifelong Democrat who "was proud" to be on Nixon's enemies list? RIP, my good man, I will be teeing up your movies the next few nights ...

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

My favorite Gene Hackman movie is "Enemy of the State," co-starring Will Smith.
