Grateful to all the Congressional Staff who worked tirelessly to try to make this bill at least a little less bad. Your work mattered. The road ahead is long. The only way through is together.
This bill will make us all sicker, poorer, less safe, and less free.
As @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social said as he concluded his speech: “We’re going to press on until victory is won.”

Zohran Mamdani is apparently the most charming person alive
Reporter to Trump: Would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani mayoralty?
Trump: "I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting, absolutely."

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Seems like a good day to revisit why I chose this screen name a little over seven years ago. A 🧵
It was about a week after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, and the first time (that I know of) that Trump was asked about it.

They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?

Talked before this game about how important the midfield battle was going to be.
Right now, Olivia Moultrie and Sam Coffey (10 goals/5 assists this year) have fewer touches combined (48) than Leicy Santos has on her own (53).

Faster pathways, driven by rapid tech adoption and stronger policy action, bring major benefits:
✅ Lower costs
✅ Greater efficiency
✅ More secure energy systems
Slower pathways? Higher temperatures and inefficient fossil fuel consumption.
