I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.”
It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home.
Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.
🚨JB PRITZKER EMBARRASSES TRUMP:
This is huge! JB Pritzker just BALANCED the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit.
$0!!!!!
The media won't tell you about Democratic accomplishments, so SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE:
While Trump is cutting SNAP, Pritzker is helping families put food on the table.
While Trump's Iran war is driving up energy costs, Illinois is pausing the gas tax increase.
While Trump is building a ballroom, Illinois is funding schools, building housing, wiping out medical debt, and helping working families.
That's what Democratic governing looks like.
Pritzker is lowering costs.
Trump is RAISING them.
This week Republicans will use a process in the Senate called "reconciliation" to jam through an ICE funding bill with 50 votes. Why are they doing this? Because they want ICE to be able to operate lawlessly, and they know they can't get 60 votes for that.
Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES.
With your tax dollars.
The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls…
…hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress…
…assaulted cops.
He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them.
Disgusting.
Republicans can now tell every voter that the leader of their party is going to make them pay $1.7 billion of their hard-earned money in taxes to Oathkeepers & Proud Boys convicted of crimes on J6 as well as others convicted of beating police. All of us have to pay J6 criminals.
My top priorities for New Yorkers in Congress:
1️⃣Defend our democracy from Trump’s assault.
2️⃣Abolish ICE & end Trump’s deportation dragnet.
3️⃣Pass my ROBINHOOD Act to close the wealth gap & make the American Dream a reality.
The stakes have never been higher. You can always count on me.
🚨HOLY SHIT: MAGA Congresswoman Jen Kiggans tried to COLLUDE with a radio station host to DELETE an interview where she agreed to tell Hakeem Jeffries to keep his “cotton-picking hands” off Virginia.
Share this EVERYWHERE to to keep her racism from being buried.

Are you actually seeing this post?
Ever since Donald threw his latest unhinged temper tantrum about me (again), folks have been telling me I've mysteriously vanished from their feeds. It appears the deeply unwell narcissist is so terrified of dealing with me in Congress that he’s begged @elonmusk to throttle my account.
This kind of pathetic desperation is nothing new. But I need YOU to help me beat Donald and Elon at their own game. Don't let a malignant sociopath and his billionaire enabler silence us.

Hakeem Jeffries today:
“The ghost of the Confederacy has afflicted the Supreme Court majority and is invading and haunting the nation right now.”
Louisiana cancelled a live election to erase Black voters.
Tennessee eliminated majority-Black Memphis in one vote.
Florida flipped 4 seats with new maps. Alabama got Supreme Court approval.
South Carolina eliminated Clyburn’s seat.
Virginia’s voter-approved map struck down 4-3.
Six states. Same week. Same playbook.
Jeffries is right.
"I don't think about Americans' financial situation"
175 more days until you get to vote against this and every Republican who enabled it to go on this long.
Over the next week week, Republicans are going to spend all their time trying to pass legislation sending A BILLION DOLLARS of your money to help Trump throw corrupt billionaire parties.
The ballroom is the biggest scam out there. Here's why.
🚨THIS RIGHT HERE:
Hakeem Jeffries just OBLITERATED Republicans on redistricting strategy and says Democrats are just getting started.
He slammed them for spending years aggressively gerrymandering districts across the country.
“Republicans have concluded that they need to cheat to win... we’re not gonna unilaterally disarm, not now, not ever.”
“And this redistricting war is just getting started.”
Trump is suing the IRS, which he oversees, for $10 billion.
Both sides want to settle to avoid going to court.
Aside from money, one of the settlement terms is to drop all audits of himself and his family.
He’s stealing $10B from taxpayers and covering up his tax crimes.
You get that, right?

Surprise! The Trump sons are ripping you off…again. This time Don Jr. & Eric took $59M from MAGA supporters for a "Made in USA" gold Trump phone, then quietly added fine print saying customers may never get one or see their money again.
🚨BREAKING: The President of the United States, on national television, just openly stated he is willing to violate the Constitution.
Trump said he would send the National Guard or ICE to voting locations in November and “do anything necessary.”
But that’s illegal…
You cannot place armed federal agents at polling places to influence or intimidate voters. It’s exactly what the Constitution and federal election law are meant to prevent.
Trump is tanking the economy.
Inflation is up 3.8%.
Families are cutting back on groceries.
Meanwhile, Trump sits in the Oval Office doing whatever the hell this is.
Leave our kids alone, Donald Trump.
There’s absolutely no reason the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Northern Texas should have private information about NYC trans youth who received care at NYU Langone.
This is unacceptable and yet another disgusting demonization of our most vulnerable community. I’ll always defend trans and nonbinary New Yorkers.
NEGUSE: My understanding is a no bid contract is reserved for situations where delay would cause serious injury. What's the injury with the reflecting pool?
BURGUM: We had 19 fountains across the city that didn't work
NEGUSE: That's the serious injury to the government?! And who picked this company? Trump said 'I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools'
Pete Hegseth is still refusing to spend congressionally allocated funds for Ukraine.
$400 million. Approved by Congress. Sitting untouched since January.
A bipartisan committee has asked repeatedly. His staff keeps promising a spending plan that never comes.
A senator put it plainly:
“Dragging our feet on this small investment sends exactly the wrong message to Putin at a time when the contest for freedom has its front lines in Ukraine.”
Trump just gave Putin a 3-day ceasefire timed to Victory Day.
The money sits.
