An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

You know that old saw that in a troubled time a leader will rise and they may come from an unexpected place. It is not unreasonable to imagine Mark Carney becoming a great force in the new Western Alliance. He & Macron are clear, have intriguing ideas and will not bend.

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Has anyone considered the possibility that all these Nobel Prize winning economists know more about the economy than the fat dude who bankrupts casinos?

You couldn’t make the corruption any clearer. Every member of Congress should disclose their trades in the market this week, effective immediately.

It’s insider trading. They’re not even hiding it.😡😡😡😡😡

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Just kiss the ring.

Congress needs to take away this man’s power to wage an unchecked trade war with the world

Governance by tantrum is no way to run a country. #TrumpSucks

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right now— —While the regime is actively trying to purge us from government, workplaces, universities from its websites, and from society in general.

He is so incredibly stupid.

Donald playing golf every weekend isn't just an opportunity to ignore the problems of the American people, it is also an opportunity to rip off the American taxpayers. Here is a bill the Secret Service got for staying at Mar-a-Lago for a few days in his first term. 42 rooms at $396.15/night.

The real threat to American jobs…

Harmful non-strategic tariffs. Reckless use of group chats and personal Gmail accounts. Incorrect deportations blamed on “administrative error.” Mass firings of health and safety personnel. Cuts to Medicare and SNAP. Soaring prices. The American people did not sign up for this.

General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?

After crashing the stock market, Trump is now in FL for the rest of the week hosting the Saudi-owned LIV golf league at his course.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

I just introduced the Delete DOGE Act, which – you guessed it – would defund DOGE.

We’ve spoken to senior US Officials. They confirmed they’ve tariffed our lovely Islands in order to force us to sell our precious flightless bird eggs to America at discounted rates given egg prices there, and their Health Secretary raving about the benefits of fertilized Penguin eggs and whale skin

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong.

Oh my god. At the exact moment Trump announced his tariffs the market crashed in real time. CNBC is SAVAGE for doing the side by side.

If he’s so concerned about the debt, make the rich pay their taxes. #SenJimBanks

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.

. Hey Wisconsin, chooses a real judge for your Supreme Court . . . ... not a bought one ! Vote Susan Crawford ⚖️ 🗳️ ⚖️

“In just 71 days, the president has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy. These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.” - Sen Corey Booker states in a marathon speech.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but to become a naturalized US citizen, an immigrant green card holder must ALREADY pass a high school level test on American history and civics. Most native-born Americans would fail the test if they had to take it

Thank you, Governor

❗️We have had the US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire for several weeks now. The Russian response to this proposal is drones, bombs, ballistics, - Zelensky. "The geography and brutality of Russian strikes literally every day show how much Putin doesn't care about diplomacy.
