Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

In 2025, a majority of S&P 500 CEOs made more in 1 day than the median US worker made the entire year. Meanwhile, the median US worker would need to work 43,154 years to earn what Trump made in 2025 thanks to his crypto scams & various grifts. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Ballou: The ads say “Paid for by the U.S. Government,” which is absolutely not allowed. Turns out what happened is they have misappropriated $20 million that was supposed to be spent on other things, specifically for these campaign ads. Obviously, that’s illegal.

Trump allies are feuding over where a multi-million dollar check went. Alina Habba's husband intended to have $6 million go to the Kennedy Center, and now it's missing. Habba went to Trump to accuse Ric Grennell, former director of the Kennedy Center, of stealing it... WH counsel is investigating.

Discovery+, one of the streamers now owned by David Ellison’s media monopoly Skydance, hiked its prices exactly one week after the merger officially closed. Employees have already been told to expect layoffs — while top executives received pay bumps. Monopolies are only good for the monopolists.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

New inflation numbers dropped and things are so bad even Fox can’t spin it. Inflation was on its way down. Then Trump launched his little expedition in Iran, and it spiked. So the tariffs were already pushing prices up, and the war made it worse. Trump’s economy is not working for Americans.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

I can't believe I have to say this: Richard Nixon was corrupt and Congress was right to force him out. But, according to Trump's DOJ and a GOP congressman, Nixon was subject to a Deep State coup. Nonsense. This is just Trump trying to rewrite the past to obscure his corruption today. Link below ⬇️

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

The orange felon says he’s going to withhold federal funds from Ohio if they vote blue in November. I’d love to see Ohio tell him to go fuck himself by overwhelmingly voting blue in the midterms.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Despite DOGE falling short, Elon is getting another chance at government work. Musk will work alongside former Speaker Newt Gingrich and defense contractor Palmer Luckey to lead Hegseth's "Project Meridian" to study the future of warfare. Not so sure this cast of characters can get the job done.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

🧐 If true, I suspect the plan was to detonate the VBIEDs and then ambush first responders. I’m just glad that farmer was paying attention.

I've always been captivated by the "Freedom" sculpture on Vine St., of a figure breaking free of a wall in 4 stages, with the final figure on the sidewalk, arms outstretched and faced lifted. I think it makes our city more interesting, which is the most any of us who love Philly can hope to do. 🧵1/3

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

nytimes.comWashington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Q: "Why are Republicans having to work so hard to hold onto these seats [in Iowa]?" Trump: "I don't know…I reduced the prices…I'm surprised. First of all, the polls are fake."
