Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Sadly, he's like a tumor and, once removed, you still have to deal with the cancer.
The question is when will we be rid of this dangerous man who despises our Constitution and democracy. When…and how.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

And the really stupid thing is eventually the vote will happen. The files - or proof that they've been wiped or destroyed - will come out.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.

Of course he can say it. But my mispronouncing it, he both disrespects Mamdani and keeps the name feeling foreign to his base. And now we see how that worked out for him.
If by people you mean Andrew Cuomo it’s because he’s a jerk face.

More than performative, it's a test case.
NEW POLL: 79% of DC residents oppose Trump’s federal takeover of local police — and they don’t believe it will reduce violent crime.
LA felt the same way, and every other city will too.
If Trump & Republicans cared about safety, they wouldn’t have ripped $1B from DC. This is all performative.

The Trump administration just admitted that a Salvadoran man was deported in error. Shockingly, Trump and JD Vance don’t seem to want to fix their mistake—and the implications of that are dark.
