Trump is a pathological liar, example #8567. Yesterday on Air Force One, Trump claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was treated “rudely” in Kyiv and that Zelensky was “unavailable to meet him.” One problem: they met. It’s on video. WATCH.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

. 🇲🇽’s President Claudia is expanding a lawsuit against 🇺🇸 gun manufacturers holding them accountable for supplying over 74% of weapons used by cartels. She’s also pushing for harsh penalties on foreign 🔫 traffickers. This is what real leadership 👀 like . maybe we should’ve elected a woman. .

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

One would need to be totally daft to not see that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. He was brought to the attention of the KGB through Ivana Trump, lured to the USSR in 1987, and then began working for Russia immediately upon return. Everything he's done since then is for Moscow's benefit.

It feels like a dystopian movie. Not enough is being said about Trump being recruited by the KGB forty years ago. This was at the height of the Cold War. When the Soviet Union was classed as the enemy. Who wanted to destroy America. You’d have to really hate America.

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

Purging these highly dedicated, decorated military leaders—based on politics, not merit—does immediate immense & lasting damage to the readiness of our armed forces & national defense.

Shipping companies profit from uninspected, untaxed foreign packages. They shouldn’t write the rules. The Trump Administration needs to stop catering to corporations & close this loophole to protect American jobs and keep fentanyl out. bit.ly/3QnSFdf

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

Elon Musk fired thousands of IRS workers in tax season, hundreds of VA health researchers and countless other civil servants doing their jobs. This rampage throws the lives of civil servants into chaos and makes life harder for every American.

President Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator,” which we know can’t be true because Trump loves all the dictators. That’s why he appeases and coddles Putin and his filthy imperialist war on the people of Ukraine. History teaches us that we bow down to dictators and tyrants at our own peril.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
