I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

American soldiers are not mercenaries.

They get paid by public funds or they don’t get paid. No other option is in line with our values or our laws.

Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

When the government shuts down, Congress should not get paid. It’s not fair for government employees to go without pay when Congress can’t reach an agreement. Things might even move faster.

Platform for our next President:

I will demolish the ballroom and reconstruct the Whitehouse as I reconstruct our Democracy.

Demolition day 1.

Metaphors go both ways.

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom.

And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

I’m still processing the fact that the President of the United States posted a fake video of himself dumping shit on the peacefully protesting Americans he was elected to serve.

I don’t care if you are a R or a D. Whether you voted for me or not. I am here to serve EVERY PERSON in my district.

Imagine if in another country the president’s masked army racially profiled in opposition areas as he enriches himself (even raiding the treasury), oligarchs renovated a massive ballroom for him, and his unofficial top advisor said he won’t leave.

Is this how democracies end?

They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.

So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you.

This isn’t going to end well.

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Jack Smith seeks to testify publicly before Congress on his Trump investigations into classified documents and 2020 election interference. His lawyers await DOJ guidance on grand jury limits and report details. Both cases ended after Trump’s second term began.

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!
