Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs."
 
"The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."

I’m so proud of Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills for standing up to trump and winning the first of the lawsuits against the administration. USDA funds for school lunches has been released.

Just what we need in a US Attorney to promote the Project 2025 agenda even further. Ugh
Republican Senator Thom Tillis just said he’s not comfortable voting for Trump’s nominee for US Attorney Ed Martin after it was revealed he went on a white nationalist podcast.

Trump is plotting the invasion of multiple countries across North and Central America which includes Canada, Mexico, and Greenland.

He's asked the military to start drawing up plans on how best invade Panama to steal the Panama canal.

Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides.

STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!!

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you.

Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.

Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Europe must stay focused and act now to back president Zelenskyy against Putin.

At today's meeting with heads of states, hosted by Emmanuel Macron, we saw that we have the tools – sanctions, tariffs, frozen assets - to keep up the maximum pressure. We will not give up and we will #StandWithUkraine

Seeing America’s top diplomat sitting at the table with the Russians to negotiate Ukraine’s future—without the Ukrainians themselves—is infuriating

This weak & clueless administration had already given the Russians nearly everything they wanted before negotiations even began. Peace through weakness

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond?

By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.
New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."
