Social Security isn’t a handout—it’s a sacred contract. You paid in. You earned it. But Trump & DOGE have slashed SSA staff, shut down field offices, and made it nearly impossible to get clear info. My office is pushing for answers and doing everything we can to make sure you get what you’ve earned.

We were the country that defeated the Nazis and won the Cold War. But now President Trump is afraid of offending the Kremlin. "The US has told G-7 allies it won’t endorse a statement condemning Russia’s deadliest attack on Ukraine this year, sources say"

Trump has built a career scamming his way to the top. This time the result won’t be a bankruptcy but a recession of his own making. Where are my “fiscally conservative” Republican colleagues now?

I’m not worried about being killed by an undocumented immigrant. I’m worried about being killed by a Trump supporting, Confederate flag waving, Fox News watching, assault rifle owning, looking for a fight, domestic terrorist. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

PBS is under attack from Congress and the White House. Now it’s waffling on whether to show a film that has “trans themes.” @engber.bsky.social reports on the fate of the movie “Break the Game”:

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Friday Night Massacre of accurate information. A devastating day for the USA as tens of millions of dollars of grants seeking to combat the spread of false information were terminated. We have a federal govenrment that does not consider the verifiable truth a priority. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them. Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK! Crazy how that works!

Kilmar Garcia was mistakenly deported. The WH mistakenly sent a demand letter to Harvard. A US citizen was mistakenly arrested and held by ICE in Florida. ... these aren't mistakes. They're tests.

Some pics from the rally at the Capitol in Des Moines, IA today! Donald Trump isn’t going to skirt the law, destroy the country and defy the courts on our watch. We will continue to resist him and his vile, lawless administration.

WOW. Kilmar García was deported off a bogus, discredited gang sheet—based on junk intel from a cop later convicted of misconduct. Trump’s still using it to deny him due process. 📌 COPS: He wore Chicago Bulls hat they claimed was “Hispanic gang culture” and meant he was in good standing with MS-13.
