the sacrifices i make for this job

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

“Total destruction… none of that has happened…”

It’s never been about protecting women’s sports.

Judges should not trust the feds with anything these days.

Tonight, I joined my colleagues in calling on the HISD Board of Managers to put students & families first. Tomorrow, the board will vote to close 12 schools—despite its own policy requiring meaningful public engagement before any closure decision. Transparency, equity, and accountability matter!

As @JustinWolfers points out — when Trump boasts about the market being up he fails to mention other markets around the world are up way higher in the same period of time 🤷🏼

Speaker Johnson threatens us with a good time

“What kind of administration releases naked photos of victims, and then protects the perpetrators?” #TrumpEpsteinFiles #EpsteinAdministration

Here’s the Vivian Jones article Speaker Sexton is upset about, because it accurately explains the AG report on undocumented crime in Tennessee: -2% of all crime (not 50%, Johnny Garrett is a huge liar) -Vast majority traffic/non-violent www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

If you’re not leading with the racism, you’re doing it wrong.

Yes, this.

Memphis’ @repcohen.bsky.social did not attend tonight: “I don’t need to hear the lies and predictable banality from this offensive and out-of-touch president.”

What a remarkable young woman.

“HELL NO.” @repmaxinewaters.bsky.social tells Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social she will NOT be at Trump’s State of the Union address

State of the Union Fact Check: Nope, none so far

Lying for 2 hours straight won't solve any of the issues he's been underwater on for months. Everything is more expensive, corruption is rampant, and the Epstein Class gets richer while you get screwed. The lies you heard tonight won’t matter in November.

HERO 🔥 And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man. Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

Thank you to the more than 2 MILLION of you who showed up big to watch The People's State of the Union live on YouTube!

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Thank you to the United Nations Association – Houston Chapter for hosting a beautiful Iftar Dinner. Proud to stand with our Muslim community. Ramadan Mubarak.

SPANBERGER: “His reckless trade policies have forced 🇺🇸 families to pay $1,700+ each in tariff costs. Even though the supreme court struck these tariffs down, the damage has been done. Meanwhile, the president is planning for new tariffs, another massive tax hike on your family.”

ZELENSKY: “I hope to come here with Trump one day, so he can see what this war is really about… Putin is this war — the cause of its beginning and the obstacle to its end.” Powerful message to the resilient 🇺🇦 people from their president. Full: x.com/zelenskyyua/...

ICYMI — another L For the regime

STEWART: “So just to be clear - Trump is on the brink of war with Iran to either obliterate the nuclear program he previously ‘obliterated’, or to force them into signing a deal like the one HE PULLED OUT OF — it’s all in Chapter 9 of Art of the Deal: Eating Your Own Asshole.”

Little different from the story Trump tells

Yet again Rep. Al Green understood the assignment. He was kicked out by the "no safe space" and anti cancel culture crowd.
