Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President Zelenskyy today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Democrats need to tone down the political rhetoric?

🔍 WHO’S THAT FED? 🧐 This jacket was spotted on a presumed ICE or other fed officer deboarding a government-chartered GlobalX jet in La Crosse Wisconsin today 👀 Can you help us identify the logo?

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

Re-watching Ted Lasso (again) in preparation for season 4 August 5th, and the rom-communism episode "Rainbow" is still one of the best things ever written.

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia is calling on Chair James Comer to record and make public the testimony of Pam Bondi when the committee grills her about the release of the Epstein files this month.

Here are the Republican priorities. This is the budget reconciliation package the GOP has to pass alone because democrats held their ground and refused to fund ICE and CBP.

Text of the HSGAC portion is also out. Will go through it in this thread.

"If you give the rich tax breaks, they'll lower prices for everyone else." No, they won't. Want proof? Every single MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax breaks every year. And it now costs an average $225 to attend a game.

Rude for Iran to be firing missiles after 37 truth social posts about how they’ve been defeated. It’s like they didn’t even read them.

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

Apparently European countries are ‘absolutely horrible’ for refusing to support the US debacle in the strait of Hormuz. The Europeans’ real sin is pointing out that the US attack on Iran created the mess in the first place. But no one is allowed to speak truth to a dictator.

In 1982 Margaret Thatcher cutoff weapons to Israel because they invaded Lebanon. Today Israel are invading Lebanon and instead of banning weapons to Israel they are trying to ban Palestine marches.

I think we need the Obamas, the Clintons and Kamala to go on the road to support the candidates around the country. #USDemocracy

Asheville, NC high schoolers are currently schooling the presidency on what real leadership looks like. It is inspiring to see thousands marching behind a generation that is done waiting for permission from a government that doesn't care about the people.

Why is the President of the United States shilling so hard for cryptocurrency? Because the entire industry is a Ponzi scheme — and he's the conman-in-chief.

Thank you, Dear Internet, for always bringing me a silver lining. 🙏🏼

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

Tech oligarchs in the US act like their own sovereign nations. They have proven that their foreign policy is based purely on personal gain. If going against American strategic interests makes them richer or more powerful, they will do it without hesitation

📌It's Kentucky Derby Day and worth reminding everybody that thousands of horses die on the track each year. If that ruined your big race, I don't care.

"The family made national headlines after being taken by ICE during a routine immigration appointment. The family was detained in Dilley TX, while the oldest son, Antonio, was held in Raymondville. "The family and Antonio were later released and reunited..." www.valleycentral.com/news/local-n...

Europe is saving €100M a day by investing in solar as the Iran war drives up prices. Countries are doubling down on renewables to keep bills lower & strengthen energy independence. Meanwhile the US is paying companies to stop clean energy projects. This isn’t about technology. It’s about choices.

Due to the NBA and NHL playoff schedule, the Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band concert at Xfinity Mobile Arena has been rescheduled for May 30. All tickets for the previous date will remain valid for the new date.

#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

So I hear bill maher is on cnn now, but I'll never know for sure because I won't be watching. #Propaganda They deserve each other.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

100+ Angelenos have taken over Home Depot to protest their support of ICE 5/1/26

POTUS has a dentist on call 24/7. This is another weird disappearance around the first of the month for Trump.
