For the third time since I took office, we're funding above the required pension payment — creating a $75M reserve fund for expected costs of adjusting to the Social Security Wage Base. With this fix in effect, we’re protecting taxpayers and state workers from future shortfalls

CNBC: “You’ve been accused of being partisan.” CBO DIRECTOR: “I am a Republican.” Republicans dismiss the CBO saying #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer cuts health care and food the poor… and taxes for the rich — but it is led by one of their own. 🤔

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

It's not a Linzian crisis. The House and Senate don't want to be in charge. They don't want power. Imagine if Parliament in the UK passed a law saying the PM can do as they like. That's the analogy

His latest diatribe confirms for me that his pathetic military parade was a massive fail. If it had been successful, he would have at least tried to have it lead on Monday cable news. Instead he is declaring war on blue cities. The military parade was a failure.
