Is Trump publishing a Senator's private phone number over a disagreement supposed to be "leadership"? He’s acting like a fucking troll. What is wrong with DC Republicans? Why aren't they stopping this—do they really think they won't be next?

When Trump says it’s the greatest economy ever, he means for himself and his family — and the tech kleptocrats that want to dismantle our democracy to seize power for themselves

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

"A dozen orcs stormed the Palantir offices in Seattle this week to apply for jobs at the surveillance tech company. Palantir's militarized AI products attracted the horde of orcs, who hoped that their history of serving the Dark Lords would land them a gig. Unfortunately, Palantir didn't bite." 🤣

Toured the JBS production facility in Greeley and met with leaders and workers to learn more about how they support Colorado ranchers and keep good union jobs right here in northern Colorado. In Congress, I’ll keep fighting for Colorado’s farmers, ranchers, and working families.

Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans want a senator who fights for them. That's why we will have a #BlueWaveIn40Days
