Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

Let me put it into perspective: 23-year-old Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, was sentenced to 21 years in prison in November for posting classified info on Discord. Meanwhile, Elon Musk shares classified info, and we just shrug. This isn’t a culture war; it’s a class war.

Day 77 of nonstop protests in Georgia. The chorus of Hebrew slaves, “Va pensiero”, from Verdi's opera Nabucco, plays in the background. The song was originally believed to be an anthem for Italian patriots, seeking to unify their country and free it from foreign control. #3E (📷 Sophie Zviadadze)
