We have the entire year to pass a budget that works for all Americans, but Republicans don't want to work with us. They don't care that their budget hurts our kids, seniors, and the middle class — they want tax cuts for their wealthy donors.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

The silence from Dems is deafening. We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it. @dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!

This TikTok scam by Trump is really something. In a few days, we will be hearing from Trump about how he “saved Tik Tok” & “brought it back.” He literally created the problem by calling for a ban. Rs pass a law. It gets banned. It goes dark for a day or 2, then Trump “saves” it.

Nothing to worry about, just the pro-Putin president getting the anti-Putin intelligence committee chair who does oversight removed from his position

Regardless of your politics, Rep Mike Turner was among the best Intel committee chairmen. The fact that he was fired from Mar-A-Lago proves one thing: there is no oversight, just a rubber stamp congress
