There was only one person acting presidential in the Oval Office today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown.

What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Elon Musk built an empire off $38 billion in taxpayer money.

Now, he's slashing everything from health care to veterans' services to further line his own pockets.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

I served the people, not the president as US Attorney. That's the oath. That's the job. That's why you don't put people who haven't worked at the Justice Department in charge of the Department, or people who haven't worked at the FBI in charge of the FBI.

Dan Bongino, a right-wing podcaster, election denier, and conspiracy theorist, was picked to serve as the FBI’s new deputy director—a position traditionally held for a career FBI agent. But those people are being targeted by Kash Patel for working on the J6 cases.

Trump said he'd "love and cherish" Medicaid.

Hours later, he endorsed the House Republican budget that cuts Medicaid by *hundreds of billions of dollars.*

Republicans are betraying the middle class so they can give trillions in tax giveaways to the ultra-rich.

Hard to believe that Kash Patel lied and misled FBI agents about something as important as this.
In January, FBI Director Kash Patel met with two senior members of the FBI Agent Association and "privately agreed" a career FBI agent should be his deputy.

On Sunday, the group informed its members about this in a newsletter

An hour later, Trump announced Bongino

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.
