Coming back from time off, seeing this in full and astounded by the level of gaslighting here. Shame on Karoline Leavitt. @natashabertrand.bsky.social doesn’t need my support but is a great reporter. Karoline is lying a lot here. Discussing this on my show Monday.

We traded the style, grace and class of Jackie Kennedy for the garish, gaudy, ascetic vulgarity of a lounge lizard. bsky.app/profile/patr...

Bibi is a War Criminal and this is quid pro quo…again.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Republicans always pass their anti-American bills in the dead of night. This time, they’re doing it over the weekend šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

BARTIROMO: You tweeted that Democrats leaked intelligence TRUMP: They should be prosecuted BARTIROMO: Who specifically? TRUMP: We can find out. You go up and tell the reporter, 'national security, who gave it?' You have to do that. And I suspect we'll be doing things like that.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL): "Again, these inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. And that’s one reason we’re $37 trillion in debt. And it’s time we find these rats and we send them back home, that are living off the American taxpayers, that are working very hard every weekā€

Someone tell uncle fester he can step down whenever he likes

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

A top Trump Justice Department official boasted at a private Republican gathering that the Trump administration was able to kill a Texas law that gave undocumented immigrants in-state tuition "in six hours" by coordinating with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The president and vice president, like most Republicans, think it is good that a christian fanatic murdered an elected Democrat, and they pretty clearly hope there will be more murders.

Murkowski votes Yes Shame on her What a HYPOCRITE Vote her out Bad Bill

Donald Trump’s ā€œBig, Beautiful Billā€ adds nearly $4 trillion to our national debt. So. Much. Winning. šŸ™„

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill. This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance. It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

Lev Parnas interprets Trump’s statement about Israel’s legal proceedings against Prime Minister Netanyahu as a threat. Parnas argues Trump is using U.S. foreign aid as a political weapon to protect Netanyahu, likening it to Trump’s actions with Ukraine www.rawstory.com/trump-veiled...

🚨 They want to gut Medicaid and SNAP so billionaires can get tax cuts.
They’re trying to pass it before July 4th—because Trump said so. The Senate just advanced the MAGA budget bill. Here’s what’s in it—and how we fight back. 🧵 Objection: Billionaires Win, We Lose open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Hey, remember when 2 Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes? That was only 2 weeks and 674 other shitstorms ago

If you want your child to receive a religious education, send them to a religious school. There’s your school choice.

Millions will lose healthcare. Children will go hungry. So much destruction in this bill. Welcome to America. 😤 US Senate Republicans advance Trump bill toward passage - www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Rep. Laura Gillen is the Fetterman of the House. I spent time campaigning door to door for her in the weeks before Election Day because her race was considered one of the essential ones for the Democrats to have a shot at the House. I regret it. What a disappointment she turned out to be. MAGA lite.

There is no bottom.

🚨 JUST NOW — All the remaining Republican holdouts cave, selling out their constituents. (With Marsha & Hagerty) #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Sad to see how far some Dems are willing to take their opposition to Zohran

The Trump admin said it would go after violent immigrants but they are giving this guy: *an early release from prison *a promise not to be deported for at least a year *a work permit

Wow. The White House Rose Garden is tore up.

It's going to boomerang back on Gillibrand, Swalwell and the rest, 2025 is different.

As long as I live, I’ll never forget seeing wheelchair users zip tied for protesting…

The Mob Boss isn’t happy with Tillis voting against his budget.

Has the Wall Street Journal called disappearing people and building camps in swamps radical? Turning back the clock on medical research? Cutting off foreign aid, killing children? Turning the Oval Office into a bribe depository? Telling polluters to have at it? Any of that deemed radical?

They’re giddy about putting undocumented immigrants into a prison surrounded by alligators. They are such hateful, despicable people that they are fantasizing about human beings being eaten by alligators.

Baldwin: I remember my cross-examination of Secretary Kennedy from HHS, and he said, ā€œWe will have radical transparency.ā€ But what they’ve actually had is radical opaqueness. They never answer a letter. They never answer a question. It’s one of the ways that democracy begins to degrade—

Republicans seem keen to push this bill through before CBO (or anyone else) has ability to assess its politically unpopular effects, but that won’t stop those unpopular effects from happening www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump’s golf trips cost taxpayers millions of dollars each month. Why don’t Republican cut that instead of Medicaid?
