Last night was basically what we have seen before, except this time the GOP lacks anyone willing to do anything but dutifully stand and clap like its Kim Jung Un’s birthday. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-lies...

When they emigrated from the Irish counties of Cork, Sligo, and Dublin, my family sought the American Dream in the Golden State. That story began with my great, great grandfather taking a job as a beat cop in San Francisco.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Women should be able to get the care they need — especially in emergency situations to stay alive. It’s just that simple.

More than 79 million people get health care through Medicaid, including over 1/3 of all children and nearly 2/3 of nursing home residents. Trump and Republicans want to rip their health care away – just to bankroll tax cuts for the rich. We can't let them.

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Y'know, part of why I'm a bit cranky is that when I worked in the hotel industry, it was my literal job to help people and solve their problems. Part of that was answering phone calls! And although we had the option to send calls to central reservations if needed, we only did that when super busy.

Thank you to everyone who joined tonight's town hall and asked such thoughtful questions. Oregonians are terrified about what Trump's lawlessness means for them and for America. I'm focused on making sure Republicans will have to answer for how they're hurting you and your family.

A very simple question for economists: What does Russia have that America would benefit from? And is that worth a trade war with Canada, Mexico, the EU, and who knows how many other countries with close traditional trade links to America? #MAGAmerica

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying “Don’t piss on our heads and tell us it’s raining.” That’s why I won’t be watching the reality show felon tonight. Instead, I’m in for a nice relaxing evening of watching lint grow. It’ll definitely be more informative.

First, Donald Trump blamed Zelenskyy for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then, he says he “trusts” Putin. Now, he’s frozen bipartisan military aid. It’s clear that Donald Trump is putting his fragile ego before our national security — siding with Putin over U.S. allies in Europe.
