@SenBillCassidy 100% and thank you for your unequivocal statement. Now please persuade your Senate colleagues to use your authority to investigate since the federal authorities have no credibility and can not be trusted to report the truth.

@SecVetAffairs Shame on you for blaming the victim.

[Dorian Friedman @DorianFriedman]

@StephenM Shame on you, Stephen Miller. You know better.

[Dorian Friedman @DorianFriedman]

@DHSgov You have squandered your credibility so don’t even bother trying to justify your actions to the American people. Shame on you all.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

[Mike Cerulli @MikeCerulliCT]

In a display of unity across the political aisle, the Young Democrats of Connecticut and Connecticut Young Republicans have issued a joint statement offering prayers for Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence:

Secretary Noem, your department is out of control.

You are spending money you don't have. You are violating spending laws daily. You are making up your own immigration law. You are disappearing people just because they oppose your President.

An even better way for President Trump to honor Pope Francis would be to follow his spirit and show compassion for those in need -- rather than, say, slashing Medicaid and sending a father of three with no criminal record to a Salvadoran dungeon.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Remarkable that a gravely ill Pope Francis lived just long enough to issue one more impassioned Easter plea for peace, for justice, for compassion for the most vulnerable.
Let his final earthly words be a prod to the consciences of our leaders and all mankind.

@SenatorBanks Have you no decency, sir?
