Yes you should. No excuses for this behavior.

Rep. Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.house.gov

It doesn’t matter how wealthy you are, how powerful you are, or whether you are a Democrat or Republican. If you were involved in Epstein’s crimes or abused women and girls, you should be held accountable. Period.

For those who don’t know, Abdul El-Sayed chose not to complete a clinical residency or take medical board certification exams. He decided to pursue a career in academic research, epidemiology, and public health policy, rather than clinical medicine. Don’t you wish we had him as HHS Secretary?!

Seizing Elon Musk's assets and trying him for treason would not be the first time in history when enemies of America from among the wealthy saw their fortunes confiscated.

BREAKING: We have obtained the bodycam footage from Senatobia Police Officer Hunter Foster, who incident reports suggest fired the shot that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. More video from DPS coming soon.

The sane countries of the world must remove the level of power one nurodivergent, drug using man currently has to affect the world. The globe is smaller now. Millions and millions of people are at risk as the world's wealthiest meglomaniac kills people at will. Pure evil incarnate.

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social 'Heartbreaking' captures the treason to our democracy embraced by our 'leader of the free world.' For those whose careers in some way live the first principle that 'democracy is good, and communism/fascism is bad' heartbreaking really is the appropriate first response.

WELKER: What do you say to voters who say they're struggling & want change? BESSENT: Well, why don't we revisit the Biden-era policies W: Trump has been in office for 636 days, & inflation was at 3% when he took office, it's 3.7% now. At what point does the administration take responsibility?

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥

President Trump has drawn attention for his crackdown on illegal immigration, but he has also been tough when it comes to limiting legal immigration. His administration cut legal immigration in half early this year with policies blocking visas for immigrants from nearly half the globe.

JD Vance takes a question from a man whose wife was an American who died in an Iranian air strike in March. He says "there's a failure in the leadership" and asks Vance "how is this administration gonna start holding those leaders accountable for the deaths of the soldiers that we honor and love?"

"We were attacked, occupied and our people were killed. It's only logical that we have the right to defend ourselves. And however much Russia might wish to restrict our rights, it's clear that we have the right to defend ourselves. This is entirely lawful, and so we'll do that. We will stand firm."

Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."
