Trump: "It looks like we're gonna have a Communist as the mayor of New York. But here's the good news -- he's gotta go through the White House. Everything goes through the White House. At least this White House it does."

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

On top of his crypto grifts, real estate deals, and other corrupt ways he profits from the presidency, Trump now literally wants his own DOJ to pay him $230M.

He does this all while his tariffs raise prices on Americans.

An insane, unprecedented level of blatant corruption.

Minit-thread: Bears repeating daily at this point: There were no immigration laws at all until white people on the West Coat began to fear the dreaded Yellow Peril of Chinese immigration in the 1880s. That's right. While these people were building railroads across mountain and plain...

Thanks to Donald Trump and his MAGA lapdogs in Congress, the government shutdown is going to deprive millions of Californians in need of their November food benefits.

It is long past time for the GOP to grow a spine, stand up to Trump, and stop endangering people's lives.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops today and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who groomed her to become a sex slave for Epstein and his wealthy friends. Buy it. Read it. Give her justice.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.
