I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

I don’t give a damn what Republicans quietly whisper to me about Donald Trump anymore. If you don’t have the courage to stand up and fight for the people you represent—you don’t belong in office.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Weird that the guy and his followers who spent so much time talking about freedom of speech have everyone afraid to speak. Their threatening behavior is very un American.

Dustin Burrows & Greg Abbott want to give $1 billion to wealthy families who already send their kids to private school. The Texas House budget does more harm than good. It underfunds our neighborhood schools—and the voucher scam creates a permanent hole in our school budgets.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.
