General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Two special elections on April 1 could end Trump's control of Congress. If there was ever a race that needed even your smallest donation... it's this one. @joshweil.bsky.social is running against Trump/DeSantis' hand-picked ultra-maga extremist, Randy Fine, who will be a Trump rubber stamp.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Donald Trump claimed he wanted to lower housing prices. I’ve put up an amendment to the budget that says we should do that. Let’s see what’s more important to my Republican colleagues — addressing the rising cost of housing, or tax cuts for billionaires.

🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed House budget resolution & paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid." Medicaid affects 70M+ Americans. THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING!🚨

Putin has been grooming Trump for decades. When he attacked our elections in 2016, Trump’s campaign repeatedly sought to cooperate with the assault. In office, Trump lashed out at Putin’s enemies and tried to extort Ukraine. Now Trump lies on his behalf. The mask has fallen. He’s Putin’s puppet

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.
