Blue state Republican representatives were duped again! Trump’s Terrible, Horrible, Not Good, Very Bad, Big Bill hid a massive tax increase on Democratic states under the guise of a better SALT deduction. It’s too much for the NY Post. Thank goodness no Maryland reps voted for this #BigBudgetBomb!

FOX: This bill adds trillions to our debt. How is that acceptable to the administration?

BESSENT: You're referring to the CBO scoring I believe, which is DC-style scoring

Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.

The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

$1.2 million in grant money is headed into the community to help prevent hate crimes and provide security for more than 100 groups. Montgomery County is unique in allowing groups to use money like this to hire people to help protect houses of worship and gathering places.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.

Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:

- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home

As for lower prices? Just the opposite.
