🚨 NEW: CBO's 10-Year Economic Outlook confirms Trump and Republicans spent the past year making it hard for working families to get ahead while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Connections got me today

Really great analysis of just how much money Republicans pumped into the deportation-industrial complex with last year's reconciliation bill. www.kevinmcnellis.com/posts/ice-cb...

Transparency is not optional. Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov is leading Senate Budget Dems in demanding answers from Pete Hegseth on why he classified his spending plans for the Big, Ugly Betrayal Bill.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

When was your street last plowed? I mean, you could just look out the window to answer "it hasn't, duh," but this is fun too:

NEW: Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov is calling for transparency from Trump's Budget Chief, Russ Vought, on the $100 million slush fund Republicans gifted Vought's office when they passed the Big, Ugly Betrayal law last July.

Trump claims the affordability crisis Americans are facing is a hoax, all while he wastes money renaming agencies and renovating the White House. Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov's full statement here: www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

No need to use AI. We already know the American people don't want more cuts to working class programs so that Republicans can deliver bigger tax breaks to their wealthy donors. Enough with your 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗻 agenda.

👀 “If you want to stump Lindsey, just ask him to name a country he wouldn’t bomb,” Mr. Kennedy writes... “Invite him to dinner, and you don’t know if he’ll sit down for an intelligent conversation or get drunk and vomit in the fish tank. But that’s why I like him.”

This is sociopathic. "Nor does everyone in the administration believe that a full-court campaign on housing is necessary, with some arguing that ballooning costs are primarily a blue-state problem."

Legit wild that the ICE crackdown in Minneapolis, "justified" due to the high-profile fraud cases, has gone so overboard as to force the lead fraud prosecutor to quit. This nonsense is so blatantly pretextual that they aren't even trying to hide it.

188 members of the House just put forward "'The Don' payment program" and I think I just died of second-hand embarrassment

Every time the announcers mention Patriots receiver Pop Douglas, I hear “Cobb-Douglas Production Function” and I can’t be the only one. …can I?

Never a doubt

This explains… everything?

"Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared." Incredible.

"President Trump’s chief of staff said she tried to get him to end his 'score settling' against political enemies after 90 days in office, but acknowledged that the administration’s still ongoing push for prosecutions has been fueled *in part* by the president’s desire for retribution."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What would you do without the filibuster?   Dems: universal health care, child care, voting rights, abortion rights, unicorns 4 all Trump: make it marginally harder to vote

HOW 🤯

The Trump administration is not anti-crime. It is totally for crime done by rich people.

In a million years, you would never guess that this tirade is about…. fonts.

Today is the 68th anniversary of the creation of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and over 200 recent employees have shared an open letter decrying the near-destruction of the division’s mission and expressing the hope to one day rebuild it.

I… uh… don’t think the developers of New York’s new soccer stadium have read the book?

Hungry to learn more about every layer and condiment of this trial

Ugh can’t believe I was let down by my favorite base ball squadron the Toronto Blue Jays

Would be news to Russ Vought

Happy Bat Week to all who celebrate!

Thinking this more and more

lol nothing matters

Trump’s Beautiful for Billionaires Bill isn’t cutting any deficits. The truth is he’s adding TRILLIONS to our national debt. All to give the wealthy another massive tax giveaway.

lol

"Mr. Merkley said his view was that he needed to make the case against the authoritarian tack of the Trump administration sooner rather than later. "'The longer you are in an authoritarian state,' he said, “it becomes more and more entrenched.'"
