As Trump seeks further revisions to SAVE act, Thune tells me it'd make sense for the House to pass a new version before the Senate takes it up. “Those are all things that weren't part of what they sent over here to us… And so it would probably make sense for them to send over another version.”
Name the policy, Rep. Kiley always voted with Trump. He's still backing Mike Johnson as Speaker, caucusing with the GOP, conceding their unpopular agenda and still going along with all their policies and insanity.
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
- George W. Bush
An easy thing for you blue dots in the fields of red. Everyone really but maybe you have a power no blue-stater does.
Make a list of the things you don't want happening that you know your Republican neighbors agree with you on.
Do you want ai robots running around like robocop? Call your reps!
Please remember when elections roll around, we NEED new Dem Leadership - @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are WEAK little men cos-playing at being actually elected representatives who, you know, "represent" us (not!) - we need FIGHTERS, not pansies.
He won’t. He’s not even moderately independent. He co- sponsored and ICE enforcement job fair in Rocklin just 3 months ago. He was gerrymandered out of his seat, tried to challenge McClintock to no avail, and this is is desperate attempt to stay in office.
Personally, I think this is more about trying to save his job in his newly-drawn district than some sort of moral awakening.
Aurora, CO peeps - any takers? Seems highly qualified for a lot of positions and you can't blame a guy for wanting to leave TX.
What anti-abortion rallies in North Carolina, one of the last Southern states that allows abortions past 6 weeks of pregnancy, say about a newly emboldened clinic protest movement.
If you’re bitching about the Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement w/DOJ for less than 1% of their profits last year and not mentioning Kellyanne Conway negotiated the settlement w/her friends in Trump administration you’re doing it wrong. This is how corruption works, folks.
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
I don't know how many Muslims are in this guy's district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life. They are us. They are American. This tweet is NOT American. Rep. Andy Ogles a @RepOgles Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.
My friend 'Reza was born in Persia as he called it and explained how the Shah put his uncle in prison for being a political dissident against the leader who was a cruel dictator while we worked at Piece O'Pizza in California. The CIA has been a huge disaster for America and denying that is DUMB!💙🇺🇸💙
Trump is connected to an international network of criminals, who have probably threatened his life if he doesn't do what they want, specifically destroy the United States from within. Given Trump's business and criminal history, this is quite plausible.

they know that being financially independent can free us from their abuse - so they are going to enshrine it in our laws again - financial abuse of women

👇🔥🔥 I hope everyone is calling their Senators, this is another thing we must insist that they deal with (AI used by military for surveillance on Americans & autonomous weaponry). 🤬
Merger to take drone firm public is latest business move by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr as father is in White House
Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.
Trump *is* doing debt cancellation.
It's just not your student or medical debts.
In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims.
They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.
Someone who earns $1 million a year stops paying into Social Security today. Meanwhile, 94% of Americans pay in all year long.
It’s time for the wealthy to pay into Social Security all year long on all of their income, so we can protect and expand benefits.
This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.
Super-important, y'all. 👇🔥
Exclusive: Jay Graber is stepping down as head of Bluesky. Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will be the interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.
Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

The largest oil supply shock in history in million barrels per day terms. Well done, Trump.
This is a critical consideration for any candidates going forward - they MUST be willing to part ways with AIPAC, because we MUST stop funding Israel with OUR tax dollars. Period. If they won't agree to stop doing Israel's bidding, they won't get my $ or vote.
I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.
