Sen Chris Murphy just wrote to Kristi Noem demanding that she correct DHS's public falsehoods about the shooting. It's an unusual move: He is calling her to account for government propaganda about the shooting. More should be done like this. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2019...

Scanlon: They're flat out lying when they say they're just kicking undocumented immigrants off Medicaid because those folks were never eligible for Medicaid in the first place. The truth is Republicans know that kicking millions of Americans off of health insurance is unpopular.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Someone please tell me how masked unidentifiable people in unmarked cars with regular plates can snatch somebody off the street lawfully? This is kidnapping. I'm completely confused.

🧵2/3 How Trump's ICE Works

Trump's Brownshirts are pointing weapons at civilian bystanders. What kind of tyrannical BS is this? Is this law enforcement standard practice? Outrageous! Freedom loving Americans aren't going to let ICE Gestapo & cosplaying bounty hunters come into our cities to abduct our people.

What does ICE have to hide? The Department of Homeland Security has issued a new policy that allows ICE officials to block or cancel visits by members of Congress to immigration detention facilities, whenever they “deem it appropriate” or cite vague “operational concerns.”

Happy Juneteenth, to those who celebrate. Double Happy Juneteenth to those who don't. Good morning. 🙂

Beneath contempt.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

Hello, Congress. Are you really going to go along with this tariff fiasco? Use your power.

Again.

WELKER: Do you believe that Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee? BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

merit is back baby

Does anyone know the unemployment rate for Veterans ? If 30 percent of the federal workforce is Vets, the number could get ugly quickly. Any data out there ?

Biden: I’m going to end one our longest dumbest wars, it may be a little chaotic Media: OMG WORST SCANDAL, EVER A DISASTER!!! Trump: I’m going to destroy multiple agencies, disappear wrong thinkers and weaponize the govt against my political enemies Media: *shrug*

This awful truth.

This when they go low we go high bullshit’s got to end. When they go low, we fight back! Trump was up there lying his ass off and the ONLY person to call him out on it was Congressman Green! In my book that deserves a standing ovation, not a censure. Even these two gasbags didn’t get a censure.👇🏼

Sen. Slotkin: America wants change but there is a responsible way & a reckless way to do that. We share 3 core beliefs: middle class is the engine of the economy, strong national security protects us from harm, & America’s democracy is exceptional & worth fighting for. Trump is reckless w/ all 3.

This morning, enjoy a strong #CupOfJoe courtesy of @algreen.house.gov! "I'll accept the punishment. It's worth it to let people know that there's some of us who are going to stand up" Rise up! Let’s get in some #GoodTrouble!
