Time was when something like this would have been a massive scandal. Today it so pales in comparison to other things that no one's even paying attention.

Today, I signed a bill helping to ensure the future of Oregon’s NBA legacy by creating a world-class arena to support Oregon’s economy. We can all be proud of how local and state leaders came together to ensure Portland will remain ‘Rip City’ for years to come.

When fisheries collapse, so do communities across Alaska. That means bills go unpaid, freezers go unfilled, and lives are destroyed. I refuse to stand by and let that happen.

ICE Funding FISA Spy authority Farm Bill funding The Epstein Files… Another huge week in Congress. ⬇️

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. 

They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

This proves that the Hilton hotel management didn't ask the Trump administration what it should do with the uneaten food. Good on the hotel for being staffed by people far more compassionate than anyone serving in the Trump administration.

Skyrocketing gas prices, inflation, and everyday costs. Disastrous wars with no end in sight. Federal corruption the likes of which we've never seen. The Trump Administration is doubling down on stupid.

Quite remarkable how quickly the GOP has stepped up support of Trump's ballroom.. And now they want taxpayers paying for it

Good for them. The American public should have some input into this. Trump did this completely on his own now wants us to pay for it.

Not on my watch.

SAY IT PLAIN: DeSantis is pushing to break Florida’s Constitution with “partisan gerrymandering”. 👀 Hakeem Jeffries: If Ron DeSantis wants a different map, “he should take it to the voters.” #StopIllegalFloridaMaps

Tax prep companies are spending big to BLOCK my bill. Why? Because I want to make filing your taxes directly with the IRS easy and FREE. We can't let them win.

DeLauro gets fed up with Lee Zeldin's arrogance and condescension: "You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax! And that's where this administration is coming from ... I don't have to listen to this BS."

There is a close relationship between Trump and violence — not just the attempts on his life but also the violence he’s unleashed on the world. That is no justification for what happened Saturday, of course, but it is part of what he has wrought in America. We are all worse off because of it.

Jimmy Kimmel on Stephen Miller.

35 U.S. Senators sent a letter to the USDA demanding answers about the dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. Led by Senators Klobuchar, Heinrich, Merkley, and Padilla, the letter calls out the March 31 reorganization as a threat to the agency’s ability to do its job managing 193 million acres of

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

How is it better for regular folks exactly?

82-year-old Anita LeBrun of Champlin showed up at the State Capitol and helped pass the “Grandparents Happy Hour” bill. Cheers to a job well done, Anita! www.startribune.com/champlin-82-...

Interesting to see them shift in real time to demand that taxpayers fund the ballroom

If paying an informant inside a group means you "funded" that group, then the FBI has been funding every criminal network it has ever infiltrated. Kash is a moron.

$16B more in gas costs nationwide. $154M more from Nevada drivers last month. Trump's trade war is hitting families at the pump.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

Preservationists are pressing ahead with their lawsuit against President Trump’s planned $400 million White House ballroom, declining a request by the Department of Justice to withdraw the complaint following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov And any other elected reps: Since "Trump's security" is now so important, introduce a one-line bill forbidding the current President from playing golf! Seriously, Trump should not be allowed on a golf course from a national security perspective.

Republicans: “The debt is stealing money from our kids!” Also Republicans: “Let’s spend $400,000,000 on a ballroom and $1.5 Trillion on the military and let Trump win a $10 Billion lawsuit to pocket billions just for funsies”

AOC says we shouldn’t be using taxpayer money to build Trump’s ornate castle/ballroom while people are struggling to pay for healthcare and rent.

Immigration enforcement is impacting patient care and impeding the work of healthcare professionals. Read these stories from @wsna.bsky.social & @uft.org members in AFT Health Care about how they're persisting with the essential work of keeping patients & coworkers safe. www.aft.org/hc/spring202...

At $23 for a bale of hay—our farmers and ranchers are facing a perfect storm! From the cost of diesel, to drought, to tariffs, to cuts to basic food programs—our communities are struggling. That’s why I’m here to take a stand on the Farm Bill for New Mexico this week!

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Baltimore checking in 🔥

I’m thrilled about the passage of the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act, which will ensure that Eaton Fire survivors receive the full amount of their settlements from Southern California Edison tax free.

There are still 3.5 million Epstein files that haven't been released to the public and still redactions in place on the three million files that have.

Maryland is getting us started. Who's next? California?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Absolutely SHAMEFUL. You forgot the people who put you there. Virginians want JUSTICE. That means impeaching his whole cabinet ASAP!

There’s no passing the buck on this just because of federal inaction. Marylanders want action, and that’s what we’re delivering on.

It was a pleasure to speak at the General Federation of Women's Clubs Convention this weekend! GFWC-NC has been fighting for over a century to uplift the voices of women across our state through service, and I’ll always support their mission in the halls of Congress.

TOWN HALL: I’m headed to Wheeler County for a public town hall on 5/3 at 6:15 PM. Hearing from Oregonians about the challenges they face and the issues they care most about shapes my work in the Senate—I hope to see you there!

When reached for comment, he pulled his hoodie strings closed and said "He doesn't even go here."

Friends tell friends the truth. The truth: Israel votes with Russia at the UN, takes Putin's calls, and lets him launder stolen Ukrainian wheat through Haifa — while he arms the people trying to kill Israelis. The truth is ugly, and Israel needs to account for it. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

After 80 years, Capt. Willibald “Bill” Bianchi finally returned home to New Ulm. A Minnesota farm kid who became a Medal of Honor hero. His courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. startribune.com/missing-for-...

Wow!! It was a big deal when Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile in 1954. Now, 72 years later, Sabastian Sawe has broken the 2-hour marathon!! And just 11 seconds behind, Yomif Kejelcha also broke the 2-hour barrier!

Just putting these out for no particular reason:

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

Leader Jeffries on Karoline Leavitt: "How can we take them seriously when they raise these partisan attacks? This so called White House Press Secretary wants to lecture America, and lecture us? Get lost, clean up your own house."

Proud to have the endorsement of Mayor Rex Richardson for Governor. I want California to be a place you want to be – like Long Beach, where small businesses are thriving and the energy is infectious. Join us in making the California Dream a reality across the state. XavierBecerra2026.com

1) Trump never attends WHCD 2) Judge declares Ballroom illegal unless Security concerns mandate it 3) Suddenly Trump attends WHCD 4) Suddenly a shooter appears 5) Trump and MAGA Bots all demand a Ballroom You can’t make this up…

🚨Florida voters are being denied any say on the new electoral maps. Ron DeSantis knows they won’t go for it, which is why he’s bypassing them — just like they did in Texas. This is actually ILLEGAL. In California and Virginia, voters got to decide. #StopIllegalFloridaMaps
