“We don’t have a deal in Iran and that’s ok because Vietnam was a long war,” is basically what Trump is using as a defense for not being able to make a deal to end the war he started. Insanity.

Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner want to turn part of Albania’s stunning coastline into a luxury resort. Protected land exists for a reason. Destroying ecosystems for another luxury resort is a terrible trade! We stand with Albania 🇦🇱 #SheShed #WeStandWithAlbania #NatureShouldntBeForSale

I appreciate the effort of my senator but the fact that this country allows for-profit concentration camps is beyond comprehension. It’s evil on steroids. It’s on a par with pedophilia and its coverup, ignoring the consequences of climate change and stealing from a cancer charity.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

"What we are all seeing here is about one thing: power. ... Our Framers... the people who wrote the antitrust laws, were about fighting concentration of power. And this is an unholy alliance between powerful economic forces, powerful corporations, & powerful people in government who know no limits."
