Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that if Elon Musk really wanted to cut waste, he'd start with subsidies to Big Oil, loopholes to hedge funds, and all the waste from the Pentagon. Stop squeezing the little people, FFS.

1) You do not represent Donald Trump—you represent the United States of America. This statement is fundamentally anti-American. 2) Not only is this statement absurd and wrong, but it’s also grammatically incorrect. Trumps’?!

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Why would “leaders” dismantle departments and fire people who are actively trying to thwart attacks on their country and leave us vulnerable? They talk a lot about dismantling with NO talk or plan of restructure.

No single person did more to end democracy and roll back civil rights in America than this white supremacist right here. Now and forever, that is how he should be remembered—the 21st century white supremacist who returned the United States to Jim Crow America.

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.

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.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today. This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers. According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

SICKENING!!! My congressman, Mike Lawler, questioned the citizenship status of José Alvarado, a Latino county official, at a public meeting when he asked what documentation "somebody that looks like me" should provide if stopped by ICE. Alvarado has lived here since 1982. Lawler was born in 1986.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.
