Unbelievably, 86 Dems voted with the GOP to condemn socialism as Mamdani arrived in D.C. Democratic Socialism is normal in every wealthy, free nation on earth except ours. We need new leadership, folks, or we won't have a party.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

My son Griffin knew that "Car 54, Where Are You?" is one of my all-time favorite comedies & drew this for my birthday. The likenesses of Fred Gwynne & Joe E. Ross are absolute perfection & he even included the theme song! I treasure it as one of my most prized possessions.

A massive regressive national sales tax imposed upon every American by a president with no constitutional authority to impose a national sales tax. The reason why the founders gave this power to Congress is because this would never pass any Congress- even this one.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it

@democrats.org It's time for a change in minority leadership in the Senate. Senator Chuck Schumer made a dangerous and cowardly decision to support the Republican's CR bill. Trump is already shutting down the government, so there was no reason to back it.

I know this won't happen, but Hochul removing Adams and then the judge immediately refusing the Justice Dept.'s request to end his prosecution because the rationale that it interferes with his ability to do his job no longer applies would be the week I have always dreamed of Eric Adams having.

This tells me more about Trump's plans to violate human rights than anything else.
With everything going on, Trump taking us out of the Human Rights Council is not getting the attention it deserves. Take a few minutes and check out this must read piece by my friend @ambmicheletaylor.bsky.social on the topic.
Walking away from the Human Rights Council leaves a void that will be filled
The United States again leaves the only multilateral venue dedicated to addressing human rights abuses, allowing bad actors to set the terms.
