DOGE claims to have "saved" tens of billions in fraudulent government spending, but don't be fooled — all they've really done is illegally cut a bunch of congressionally-appropriated funding that Elon Musk doesn't like.

My statement on Governor Hochul's decision not to remove Eric Adams from office.

submitted 3 days ago • 6 comments

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York raised the prospect of removing Mayor Eric Adams from office and announced plans to meet on Tuesday with city leaders to discuss “the path forward” amid calls for his resignation. Here’s what to know.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

It’s crazy that the Trump admin and the people who voted for him are actively shooting the country in the foot and acting like they’re saving it. Weird times.

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera. If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

For those of you who have a fear of flying, I know this doesn’t always help, but please remember that the last time there was a commercial airline crash in the US was in 2009. Since 2009, there have been over 150 million commercial flights in the US alone, and not one crash until tonight.

Trump pathetically adding Cuba to the 'state sponsor of terror' list even though everybody knows that's playing make believe. If he was honest he'd remove Cuba and put ISRAEL on it.

The ignorance & racism is astounding. 1) American Muslims voted 65-35 Biden/Trump and 64/32 Harris/Trump 2) American Muslims did not flip a single state in America 3) Majority of White Americans voted for Trump 3X in a row This type of racist propaganda in the below post is harmful to everyone.
