I’ll never forgive Trump for demolishing the East Wing of the White House.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

Why are all of Pete Hegseth's military operations named after brands of dildos?

And if so, why is he just telling us this now? If there were any truth to it, they’d have raised this issue long ago.

Exactly.
The excuse Trump, Vance, Bessent and every member of the admin constantly uses is things are so bad because of what “they inherited.” What about what Biden inherited? Has everyone forgotten Jan 2021? Economy in shambles, global supply chain a mess, global inflation, J6 aftermath.

Wonderful group. Following almost all already. I am a daughter and granddaughter of servicemen. Thank you all.

Nooooooo!
Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:
⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen
Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This. It can't be said enough.
4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won.
And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states!
This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.

Q: Gov. Pritzker has asked for Operation Midway Blitz to be paused for the holiday weekend. Are you willing to do that?
NOEM: No, we're absolutely not willing to put on pause any work we will do to keep communities safe. The fact Gov. Pritzker is asking for that is shameful.

Can't wait to watch this. I'm grateful for @adamkinzinger.substack.com commitment to his oath. He was/is brave and principled. If only American had a few more R's like him and @lizcheney.bsky.social.
BIG NEWS: When Adam Kinzinger stood up to Trump and risked everything, director Steve Pink captured it all. Meidas Studios just released our latest documentary ‘The Last Republican’ on all major platforms. Watch the movie today!

Corporations are lining up to fund Trump’s supersized ballroom.
They’re not donating out of patriotism, they’re buying access. And everyone should see the problem with that.
Pay-to-play in plain sight.
