"Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme."

Vivek Ramswamy is the most toxic candidate the Ohio GOP has run for Governor in memory.

Has alienated so many Ohioans with years of comments and tweets.

His negatives are sky-high, and he’s deeply underwater with independents.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

I think what the American people want from the House of Representatives after they come back from a two-month paid vacation is for them to file, argue and vote on a bunch of censure motions against each other. We really appreciate you guys working so hard for us.

BREAKING: Senator @ChrisMurphyCT on Trump's call for executions:

“The President of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed. If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a f**king side!”

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

This is the kind of quote Trump would sue for defamation about except he made it himself
reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

He is an absolute piece of shit
Despicable.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

Days before reversing his stance on releasing the Epstein files, President Donald Trump called a reporter "piggy" after she asked about his name being raised in emails sent by convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.
