Trump spoke for 90 minutes—and didn't say one word about the stress the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck are facing right now.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Our dedicated, nonpartisan federal employees work every day to deliver vital services for the American people. They are patriots with a commitment to public service — something Donald Trump will never understand.

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers. Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

Your organizing is making the GOP nervous. It’s leading them to lash out. If they were secure, they wouldn’t care — it’s their weakness lashing out. And we love to see it. Let’s keep it up. Find a local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

They demanded staff return to work in person and now they're terminating office leases so they can't. It was never about efficiency; it was always about manipulation.

How about instead of a Dem response to tonight's speech Dems just use that airtime to replay this over and over. (Not joking.)

Fox Business interviewed the owner of a Pennsylvania auto dealership who says of Trump's tariffs, "nobody is gonna buy the truck, because it just had $20,000 price increase ... this is pretty radical." The show then cut back to Maria Bartiromo, who threw a tantrum.

What a wonderful idea @governorwalz.mn.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @senatedem.bsky.social and Democratic Governors, why not join him in this offer? Seems like a wonderful way to talk to the American people and to listen to them too.

Tina Peters was convicted under COLORADO STATE LAW. This is an attempt to circumvent the fact that Trump cannot pardon STATE crimes. Coloradans you need to be on the phone to the governor demanding he NOT cave to this. If he does it will eliminate state law as a bulwark against Trump's crimes.

Even before their multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the rich, the wreckage of the Trump-GOP economy is already stark. •A dozen eggs now cost $8.17. •The Atlanta Fed now says this quarter the economy will shrink by 1.5% instead of growing 2.3%. • The stock market has dropped 5% in the last two weeks.

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."
