Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.

His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.

This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Well, that was fun. I made the mistake of answering a random 833 call. This lady actually thought she should convince *me* to support her Republican candidate running against @aoc.bsky.social ! I baited her on for a few minutes, but then gave her both barrels. 🤣

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in D.C. today: "And let’s usher in, as President Trump says, a ‘Golden Age’ of American manufacturing.'”

This is nuts. Democrats really, really have to learn, as Robert Frost put it, to take their own side in a fight.

Sen. Jeff Merkley said Schumer’s reversal made his own opposition even more of a “hell no.”

“You don’t stop a bully by handing over your lunch money,” Merkley told CNN. “That’s exactly what this House spending bill does.”

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

AOC: I think there is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal… just to see some senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk. I think it is a huge slap in the face.

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.
