Odd, that Republicans in Congress cruelly require work quotas from the poor, sick, and disabled to get federal money, while Republicans in Congress could never qualify for these quotas because of all the days they take off work, but still get FULL benefits from the federal government. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BREAKING: Republicans JUST blocked Democrats' bill that would have ENDED Trump's tariffs on Canada and his ability to keep starting these trade wars. This would have saved Americans THOUSANDS of dollars. But Republicans chose once again to put Trump's approval over the American people.

He's not got any idea what he's even voting on. He has to be told how to vote. He's incapacitated. He's incapable of representing the people of Kentucky who are currently being taxed without representation.

Ossoff: "Here are Qs I have: is it the case that Kremlev was in China with Putin just days before he attended the wedding and gave what appears to have been a lavish gift to the president's son? And what are his ties to Russia's security services?...these folks are not just corrupt. They're clowns."

It's pretty incredible the Speaker of the House thinks the votes are there to impeach the Secretary of the Defense (same party!) and his only play is to run away

Donald Trump has made 28,700 stock trades. He's made money on over 97% of them. Nah, no insider trading at all. He's just a "stable genius", right?

Q: "Earlier today President Trump said that there was new evidence in the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. He said it was a Democratic plot…Can you please explain how this is a Democratic plot?" Blanche: *doesn't answer*

“[Ds] aren’t sufficiently harnessing public anger over AI data centers to argue for a clean-energy future. They aren’t stamping themselves as the only party that wants AI’s gains broadly shared in a truly egalitarian way. And they aren’t talking enough about Donald Trump’s role in all of it.” 🔥🔥🔥

With Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous." Trump's malevolence has given Dems a big opening. They should seize on it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2154...

Trump’s EPA will no longer limit pollution from gas and coal-burning power plants. Reminder: Trump took millions of dollars in donations from Big Oil, and his EPA chief Lee Zeldin is cozy with the coal industry. Is there anything this regime won’t destroy to please its bankrollers?

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

Pretty wild that Dems now leading GOP by 7 points on which party is more trusted on immigration. Maybe, just maybe, opinion on this issue is thermostatic, and people badly overinterpreted the meaning of the 2024 shift to Trump?

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

As if they weren't bad enough, AI data centers — which Trump strongly supports — could drive a surge in "forever chemical" production. And that's after Trump's EPA already approved new forever chemical pesticides and rolled back limits on them in our drinking water. "Make America Healthy Again."
