The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

WATCH: @BillMaher calls out Ken Paxton for deceptively editing @JamesTalarico’s southern border remarks.

“He cut off the part where he went ‘there should be a giant welcome mat out front AND A LOCK ON THE DOOR’…That’s how you run a dirty campaign.”

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Talarico fires back at Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for questioning his masculinity: Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves.

More of this please!!

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated.

He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one.

He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers.

Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

[Holy Post Media @HolyPost_Media]

Christian 'Just War' principles aren’t designed to maximize efficiency or security. They're designed to restrain evil. The whole point is to make war slower, harder, and morally costlier.

Approaching war this way makes absolutely no sense unless you believe the Christian story, where our ultimate hope is not in the victories war promises here and now, but in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

I love this man.

@SaltyBahstin @JoJoFromJerz Some people are still fighting against Emancipation. The idea that we should be one homogeneous group is just as wrong today as it always has been, even if you guys manage to scrub away the writing on the Statue of Liberty. The truth will remain.

[MrBoysen @BoysenMr]

@SaltyBahstin @JoJoFromJerz There was a time when the only people born here were Native Americans. Later, the Italians and the Irish weren't good enough for the other European groups that had also settled here, and persons from Africa were enslaved in half of our country. 1/x

[David French @DavidAFrench]

And another thing ... when establishment Republicans shrug their shoulders and campaign for corrupt politicians immediately after calling them out for their corruption, they demonstrate how few principles they have. If corruption is only a dealbreaker in the primary, then it's no dealbreaker at all.

Tillis: "To call Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He's gonna be an anchor on our caucus"

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

[Jason Kidd @RealJasonKidd]

Thank you, Dallas.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

I spent part of today in front of the Texas State Capitol alongside fellow clergy and activists advocating to abolish the death penalty.

Did you know Texas is about to execute a human being for the 600th time since it became legal again in 1982? Texas has executed more than 1/3rd of all people nationwide in that time—more than the next five states on the list combined. We know from research that about 1 out of every 8 people executed in the United States is later proven innocent which means that Texas has executed about 75 innocent folks.

But even guilty people shouldn’t be executed. As Dr. King said, “Violence only begets more violence. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.”

It is time we break this descending spiral of violence in our state and our country. It’s time to abolish the death penalty.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: A DC pollster just texted me “it’s over” after Donald Trump’s speech today where he called “affordability” a “line of bullshit.”

There is not one Republican lawmaker who is up in 2028 that didn’t just shit their pants. He just gave Democrats the perfect ad.

[andrea @teachbk]

these are educators

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is a broken Christianity that says “God protected him!” when a president survives and “thoughts and prayers” when school kids die.

A god who only protects the powerful and not the vulnerable is an idol.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

"I don’t think Americans fully appreciate the extraordinary cost of Trump’s bluster and blunders. It should go without saying, but once you threaten to invade an allied country, you don’t just place the existence of the alliance in jeopardy; you raise the possibility of allies turning into mortal enemies. You can also trigger the kind of insecurity and scramble for power that contributed to the start of World War I.

In practical terms, it’s hard to see how alienating American allies puts America first." https://t.co/bs1q6dkrcN
