He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

I guess if Americans don’t want to buy Spirit Airlines with their tax dollars it’s tough shit because Trump will spend our money on whatever he pleases since we don’t have a Congress anymore.

We’re using the U.S. military to create volatility such that our president can engage in insider trading.

"He doesn't care about the distinction between truth and lies...Truth has no meaning to him. All that has any meaning to him in any given moment is whether or not he's receiving praise or adulation...He thinks he can create his own reality & the great megalomaniacs of history have always done that."

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

If you are just realizing that Trump couldn’t care less about the Constitution, federal statutes, or Congress, then you haven’t been paying attention. Trump thinks he’s king.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?

For months, DHS repeatedly denied inhumane conditions at 26 Fed while illegally blocking me from inspecting it. Now, in court, they admit to the horrific conditions they've been subjecting law-abiding immigrants to. This administration is lying to you over and over. They cannot be trusted.

Don’t believe Josh Hawley when he talks about how bad it is to cut Medicaid benefits. He is lying! Missouri’s constitution requires the state to make up any shortfall in Medicaid that the federal government doesn’t cover. It will bankrupt his state. He doesn’t really care about poor people!

The GOP always talks about being fiscally responsible except when it comes to looking at both sides of the equation - revenue and expenses! They always want to cut expenses but NEVER want to raise revenue. Their false narrative about increased growth driving revenue has never worked in 40 years!

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
