Congratulations Team Casper, and bravo Team Shuster, you’ve been incredible. Onward to the Olympics!

People should be allowed to have a THC seltzer if they want to

A fifty year mortgage is a terrible idea for almost everyone EXCEPT the really big banks that get to suck more money out of everyone's pocketbooks

ALSO: Cannabis should be legalized federally too.

Leave our breweries alone.

Remember: Trump tried to make this guy Attorney General

We need to build more houses to bring down costs. Lots of ways to help do that! None of them entail a fifty year mortgage.

It shouldn’t take 50 years to buy a house. We should not normalize that.

I guess we know why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have been covering up the Epstein files. I’m sure there is a whole lot more and a whole lot worse.

Really starting to make sense why Mike Johnson and Republicans skipped work for 40+ days

When people show you who they are, believe them.

These girls were misled and abused by powerful men who thought that the rules didn’t apply to them, that they could get away with anything. There should be justice. Release the files.

BREAKING: House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

Americans deserved a better deal than this one.

Tonight I’m thinking of the millions of parents going to bed wondering how they’re going to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, pay their utility bills and keep their health insurance without going broke.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care. Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.

Corporations don’t pay enough to feed you and your family, so you use SNAP. Then he punishes you for using SNAP instead of taking on the companies that don’t pay you what you’re worth. We sometimes forget Trump is just an asshole boss. He always finds a way to blame workers.

If your values are to take food from hungry people… well we have very different values let’s just say that.

If they fought for health care half as hard as they do to keep food from hungry families, this whole mess would be solved by now.

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Empathy bone missing apparently

He’s not even good at lying because everyone knows we’ve been talking about health care for the entire month. He just knows if he let there be a vote on health insurance subsidies, it’d pass with bipartisan support.

They have the time to tweet at me but no time for Trump to pick up a phone and negotiate huh?

For the love of god can we build housing instead?

But thank god we remodeled the Oval Office to look like a Saudi palace, right?

Clarifying question: Does needlessly keeping food from working families make us great? Or is it keeping it from seniors on fixed incomes?

It’s bullshit to say we can’t feed the hungry AND care for the sick. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. We can do both.

Nothing like a Gatsby party for your uber rich friends at Mar-A-Lago while millions of your neighbors get priced out of health insurance. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov and I just touched down in Florida because while Trump won’t fight for his neighbors, we will.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

Dear Leader is refusing to help hungry families buy food... and somehow that’s OUR fault because we were greedy enough to want to help Americans afford health care.

Heck yeah. Stand up. Fight back.

They say the definition of insanity is trying the same damn thing over and over and over again expecting a different result.

I’ve been in Congress for shutdowns before, but this one is different. I’ve never witnessed a shutdown where the President of either party has told congressional leaders to not negotiate at all. He's choosing to raise health care costs for millions of families.

Tweeting this when you haven’t come to work a single day since the shutdown started is really brave.

Are we living in the same timeline?

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits. No, they don’t have to.

Make no mistake: Republicans would come back to DC in a nanosecond if ending the shutdown meant more tax breaks for billionaires, handouts to big banks, or giveaways to the insurance industry. But some of us want to help regular, working people. I guess that’s a bridge too far.

Trump could ensure people don’t go hungry, he’s just choosing not to. Just like Speaker Johnson could bring House Republicans back to work to lower healthcare costs, he's just choosing not to. The American people don’t have the luxury to choose.

“If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them.” — Paul Wellstone

My dad (95) has an opinion.

Moral of the story: If you don’t want Trump to send the military into the streets of your city, have a tech bro billionaire call him.

Circling back to this…

@merkley.senate.gov embodies strength and determination. He just spoke on the Senate floor for over 22 hours, standing up (both literally and figuratively!) for the American people. Well done, Jeff!

Pentagon Propaganda Corps

It takes courage to stand up for what’s right — something Republicans clearly don’t have. Kudos to my friend Jeff for doing the damn thing!

This is really what it comes down to. I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government. 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

RFK Jr. said the Rural Health Transformation Program is the “biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural health care” in U.S. history. But rural areas will lose more in Medicaid cuts than they might gain from a new rural health program. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.” But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true. Don’t ignore their stories. If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.
