You know what angers me a million times more JD Vance? Your Administration detaining American citizens because they look like immigrants and have the "wrong skin color." Save us the lectures about discrimination by race.

Chris Whipple responded to WH claims that his interview with Wiles was a “hit piece”: “There isn’t a single fact or a single assertion that they’ve challenged in the piece,” he said. “…this is the ultimate non-denial denial.” The interview was recorded so they couldn’t deny what was recorded.

The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people.

I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.
Raskin to introduce bill to require review of White House renovation plans
Rep. Jamie Raskin wants to see White House construction like President Trump's ballroom project subjected to the same scrutiny as other federal projects.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.

He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.

He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.

Rob is an American treasure.

Rob Reiner had one of the greatest movie runs in history.

Look at these classics.

5 in a row.

Doesn't even include This is Spinal Tap. The Sure Thing was between Spinal Tap and Stand By Me, and was a fine movie.

Huge talent. And now it's appearing to be a homicide.

Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
