BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers. Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.

Ava D reposted

This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends… You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down. And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

I went on Fox News this morning to tell conservatives what is happening to their nation. ICE is out of control - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens, and obliterating the constitutional rights Republicans claim to care about. Every citizen should want this to stop.

this clip perfectly illustrates how Republicans *successfully* flood the zone with conspiracy theories 1. Ron Johnson is asked about Epstein 2. He immediately changes the topic to Obama 3. The host chases the shiny object and asks about Obama. Johnson never has to weigh in on the Epstein coverup.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

I hope Democrats remember this when they talk about "Civility" and keep bending the knee to bad faith Republicans who dispense cruelty. Remember this.

We want to call out a blatant lie spread by Elon Musk. Under his leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed that 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration (SSA) were fraudulent. That’s been thoroughly debunked. An internal review of over 110,000

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Brinks, who just resigned, goes nuclear on President Trump Brinks: I was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. I resigned because of Trump's foreign policy: to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia. 1/

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

🙄 Reporting like this is one of the many reasons so many of us refuse to watch the legacy media anymore. I quit watching the “news” and political shows over 5 years ago. I’m never going back. Joe Biden is a private citizen. Try reporting the truth about the Felon and his administration instead.

This is the kind of data that intelligence agencies drool over, and they’re putting it all in one place. There’s obvious potential for abuse domestically by both parties, but this also severely raises the risk of a foreign compromise — that database will be an instant target.

Ava D reposted

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

What Trump learned long ago as a private citizen is that you can easily ruin someone’s life with frivolous litigation even if you ultimately lose in court. And that was when he was spending his own money to harass and intimidate people. Now he’s spending yours.

Republicans want to make this all about criminals and victims. It’s about the Constitution and due process for all. It doesn’t matter who they are torturing today. They want it to be us next. That’s the fight.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
