My statement on President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence:

"This appointment speaks volumes about what this president expects from the nation's top intelligence official. Rather than selecting a respected national security professional capable of delivering independent judgments, the president has chosen an official who has demonstrated not just willingness but eagerness to use the authorities of government to pursue political retribution. Americans have already seen Mr. Pulte use the powers of his office at the Federal Housing Finance Agency to pursue the president’s grievances and lend credibility to dubious prosecutions of President Trump’s perceived political opponents.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up.

I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it.

Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds.

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it.

That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.

Is Trump hooked on 'war porn'? The disturbing rumours about what really goes on in the Situation Room... and why it makes the President think he's winning https://t.co/jv5BptMLiy

[WarMonitor @TheWarMonitor]

Curious what Trump’s evangelical base thinks about celebrating someone’s death like this.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

UPDATE: All four living former U.S. presidents told CNN they have NOT spoken with Donald Trump about Iran.

Trump lied. Again.

We have shared several angles from the shooting today which killed 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As we know, we believe this is the clearest angle we have of the incident. Here is the video:

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.

The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:

“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.

They took his gun away from him and murdered him

This is not the America that veterans fought to protect
