One year… We have no more allies. We are a pariah on the global stage. The government is terrorizing and even killing immigrants, those here both legally & illegally, as well as American citizens. The US military has been used to murder foreign nationals in international waters w/ no due process.

Let’s make sure we’re all crystal clear on something: if Donald Trump is saying , “yeah, go ahead and release the files” - they’ve been doctored. Scrubbed clean of any and all references to him. The immune we ever see the actual, complete files is if some patriot leaks them.

We had more than 450 people this morning at the #NoKings rally on the bridge over I-395 in Alexandria, VA! It was my first protest, and we even had a protest frog, unicorn, and T-Rex.

One of my friends just pointed out what the Administration put in official websites regarding the shutdown. The last time I checked, Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and White House, but sure, the “radical Left” did this. Oh, and it’s a violation of the Hatch Act, but who cares about that?

So lemme see if I’ve got this straight… There’s no money for SNAP, Medicaid, USAID, or Sesame Street, but we can build Uday and Qusay’s Golden Banquet Hall and Cabaret on the grounds of the White House and a nuclear power station ON THE MOON?! This season of the show has officially jumped the shark.

Pro tip, Mr. President - if what you’re doing is wise, well-received, prudent - you don’t need fencing around the White House. (Assuming this is for the military parade.)

Listen, y’all - I’ve never been one to rail against drug companies; at the end of the day, they are saving lives. HOWEVER - for reasons I won’t go into, my doctor and I have been trying to get one of my maintenance drugs authorized for name brand. This is how much a 90 day supply would cost. 🧵

It was brought to my attention as a friend and I were browsing a wine store that wines will also now be tariffed. That just hadn’t occurred to me yet, and believe me, I’ve been pissed as hell all week, but a line has been crossed. That 🤬head has officially gone too far. /s #savethesangiovese

Very thought provoking. As a student of history, the through lines to our world today have always been what fascinates me most. We ignore the impact of illiberalism fostered in the South for generations at our own peril.

This needs more attention. If the person was NOT on the approved list of media, how did someone who was not supposed to be there just *casually* slip into the Oval Office? And it just *happens* to be someone from Russian state media? Either way, questions need to be answered by the White House.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

On this day in 2022, the brave defenders of Snake Island made their immortal response to the Moskva: "Snake Island, I, Russian warship, repeat the offer: put down your arms and surrender, or you will be bombed. Have you understood me? Do you copy?" "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social told us yesterday ar @principlesfirst.bsky.social that Russia has lost about 800,000 troops since the invasion of Ukraine began. To put that into perspective, the US lost about 450,000 soldiers in the whole of WWII. Russia is not winning on the ground. Don’t forget that.
