Cognetti: We don’t want Joe Rogan or OAN talking about this district because we have a congressman who has become one of the most prolific stock traders—someone who dumped six figures’ worth of Medicaid provider stock a week before he trashed a trillion dollars of Medicaid.

Rumor is even GOP House members are sick of being treated like potted plants, with many more threatening early departure.

How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

My heart breaks for the two National Guardsmen and innocent bystander who were shot outside the White House today.

Thank you to law enforcement for quickly responding to this awful violence. I am praying for them and their families, and I will monitor this situation closely.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress should demand that Trump tell Congress what his war aims are in Venezuela. If they're going to sit back and let him decide when and if the US goes to war, the least they can do in Congress is find out what he intends and maybe even why.

According to Politico, the US insists a peace deal must come first before any talks on long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. Senator Marco Rubio has reportedly told European partners that Trump is open to future security discussions, but only after an agreement to end the war is signed.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Anyone else find it weird that the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center is tweeting through it by telling people to "Stay vigilant, stay strapped."?

#ThingsNazisSay I guess.

I am shocked and appalled by the shooting of two members of the National Guard in Washington D.C. today.

There's still a lot we don't know about the shooting. In the meantime, I'm hoping the victims fully recover. My prayers are with them and their loved ones.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

This election, we have a chance to send a new slate of fighters for affordability to Albany. Join our campaign as a day one supporter so we can tell Kathy Hochul it's time to tax the rich and deliver a New York we can afford. valdesforny.com

Rightwingers are expressing their violent tendencies because decent Americans want their US military members to follow the US Constitution and not a criminal with a voracious need to break every law.

I stand with the Constitution, and I will always support those who defend it.
