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?"

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

The new rules eliminate the 15% corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. We are back to some large companies with billions in profits paying as little as $0 in federal taxes. Billionaires and large corporations currently own the government. #NoKings

The U.S. just blew up a small boat off Venezuela.

No trial. No warning. No proof offered beyond “we suspected.”

11 people dead.

This is what it looks like when a president claims the power to kill on suspicion alone.

This is why we need accountability before we face another tragedy.

Horrified.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?

1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge

2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients

3. Because it generates delay and confusion.
