Whenever you hear #Trump lie again. when you hear him and his crew break the law again. When they break or disregard a treaty signed and voted into law. When valuable contracts go to his wealthy donors. When money goes from those. that need it to those that barely notice the extra money.

Authoritarians keep trying to silence women, and women keep tearing holes in their plans. From DC to Tennessee, we’re organizing, rising, and refusing to sit down.

If you’ve ever been told to shut up, this one’s yours.

I’m sure the self-proclaimed ‘most transparent White House in history’ won’t mind a thorough investigation into the second strike.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Putin wants to destroy Ukraine as a nation with its own history. When a nation is deprived of its history and collective memory, it becomes vulnerable to absorption by another nation.

Wake up! 🇺🇸🇪🇺 #MakeRussiaPay

oh sweet irony! Russian ICBM nuclear launchers were maintained by Ukraine until 2014.
Ukraine has begun targeting Russia's shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. These ships will no longer be able to help Russia export their oil from the Black Sea, halting almost 30% of Russia's total global oil exports. Russia had another ICBM test launch failure.

Kristi Noem didn't just "bend" a court order. She admitted on live TV that she overrode a federal judge and deported people anyway.

Now the judge has ordered sworn declarations from every official involved.

If the truth matches what it looks like... this gets historic.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
