Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump just said DOGE is headed by Elon Musk? That’s going to be awkward for the court filings in which they specifically said he wasn’t in charge.

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.” Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

Democrats should hold town halls in all red districts and use it to blast Trump's agenda, correct the record, and explain why their policies are better - assuming they are better.

Just FYI: Lumber prices are up 9%…BEFORE the tariffs. Wholesale coffee prices are up 15%…BEFORE the tariffs. Egg prices are up 25%...BEFORE the tariffs.

I have literally had to wheel clients into Social Security disability hearings on multiple occasions For an ignorant buffoon like Elon Musk to insinuate the system is a Ponzi scheme is not only infuriating It’s a 5 alarm level threat to every American who gets benefits NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Trump and Vance’s meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office today “gave the lie to any claim that this administration’s policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the United States, however misguided,” @davidfrum.bsky.social writes. Read more: theatln.tc/SowY3Uin

No words. The US spent somewhere north of 20T in today’s dollars on defense between 1948-89 —in part—to fight the Cold War against the USSR Today, the US admin staged a show of support for a murderous Russian dictator. And the real hero sat to the right of the man that’s betraying our country.

If Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy wasn't a heroic figure before, he sure is now. There was only one person in the room standing up for freedom. One person who refused to bullied. One real man. 🇺🇦

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

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.

All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

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.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.
