She goes after Zuck, Bezos and Musk to pay their fair share and she says let’s stay in the fight, raise our voice for babies, seniors, and anyone who needs food, home & healthcare. She importantly ends with fact that they lost w majority last time they tried this and we can beat them again.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

🚨 This bill gets more egregious by the minute. Rules just dropped an amended “Big Beautiful Bill” that includes a provision to pressure health exchange plans to drop abortion services except in the case of rape or the life of the mother, even if federal funds are not used to cover the services.

Don’t listen to this guy, Republicans. Elon Musk is well liked and normal and cool. Everybody wants to be his friend and when he jumps like that while saying he’s going to take away grandma’s Social Security it makes people excited to vote for Republicans.
starting to think that centering your campaign around the most viscerally offputting man in history isn’t a reliable winning strategy

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.

Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

I remember in the Cold War when the Soviet Union wanted nothing more than to silence the Voice of America.
