listen we need to run ads with Trump’s “I don’t know”s on repeat on every channel in America Trump is the Incompetent In Chief, and that’s a bipartisan line of attack.

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "the FBI is analyzing tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and that there are hundreds of victims causing as the delay in releasing the case files." TRANSLATION It takes a hell of a time to cut Tr*mp out of all these videos.

Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

Do your job, Sean.

Republicans are coming up with all sorts of ways to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Well, the nonpartisan CBO just made it clear: their "plans" would be a disaster for the American people — stripping millions of their health care.

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

This story just gets worse and worse

Your School House Rock moment......

WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “The Trump crypto corruption is now off the charts… the only rationale for doing a $2 Billion deal with Trump’s shitcoin is you want to bribe the president. We have a bribery scheme with Abu Dhabi and the Trump family.” H/T @thebulwark.com

Jimmy Carter had to put his peanut farm into a blind trust

The ~700k people of DC: —Pay more fed tax per capita than people of any state; —Are more numerous than pop of WY or VT; —Have zero votes in US House or Senate; —Now being told by House GOP that we can't spend *OUR OWN* tax money, which we've already paid Cut the BS Thanks @vanhollen.senate.gov

Another example where, while the Constitution has many flaws, this isn't one of them. This results from Congress and SCOTUS deciding to ignore the Constitutional text, which specifically forbids foreign emoluments, and lists bribery as a criterion for impeachment/removal.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Senator Murphy: the Republican budget cuts TRILLIONS in health care for the lower/middle class while cutting TRILLIONS in taxes for the rich

Apparently, adding seven highly toxic air pollutants to our air is how we MAGA 🙄

Just incredible

DONALD TRUMP SINGLE-HANDEDLY DROVE THE ECONOMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTO A RECESSION IN JUST THREE MONTHS.

The economy SHRANK in the first quarter. Down from 2.4% growth in q4 to -0.3 in q1. Trump has officially cratered the strongest economy in the world in just a few months.

The economy fell 0.3% under Trump. Just last January, CBO expected GDP to grow 2 percent this quarter, in line with Blue Chip consensus. Trump take line.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid. Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws. Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

“Black Press USA has learned that Trump officials are sending back exhibit items to their rightful owners and dismantling them—starting with the 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit.” blackpressusa.com/the-smithson...

The Republican Party is coming after Social Security. 💯

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

#ProudBlue As a very young girl, The Diary of Anne Frank was one of my favorite books. Never in a million years did I think we would be living through something like this. 😢

Let’s be real: the cost of living is out of control. People are living paycheck to paycheck. Rent is sky high. And folks are choosing between medication and meals—just trying to survive. Meanwhile, billionaires aren’t paying taxes and are getting richer by the day.

A lot of people in power are demonstrating that they don’t actually believe in the premise of the Declaration of Independence or the republic as a concept. They believe that some people are created superior, and it is offensive and wrong for superiors to live bound by the needs of those below them.

Love Tim Walz.

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife? HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

there's a county in Alabama where Black people are literally getting sick because the government doesn't provide a working sewer system, and Trump's Justice Department is trying to keep it that way apparently Black people with indoor plumbing is "illegal DEI" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in ... Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password"

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?
