Just use Twitter to follow politics. I want everyone to be equally happy and healthy.

🚨PRITZKER IS ON FIRE

“Donald Trump is sending troops into a war of choice in Iran, and he's delivering only higher prices at the pump, higher fertilizer costs for our farmers, and enduring heartbreak for the families of the fallen. We should be out of Iran already.

We should never have gone in.

His tariffs have pushed farmers and manufacturers to the financial brink and sent consumer costs through the roof. Soaring input costs and a historic cattle shortage have driven the Tyson plant in Joslin to close, alongside the Tyson plants in Utah and in Washington State…

That's the trail of destruction that Donald Trump is leaving in his wake. Two years, we're not even two years in, and it's just reprehensible, and we've seen working families suffer.”

@furious_cs @SenDuckworth They were here legally, he ran because ICE doesn’t follow the law.

@CR0302CR @Benett_Langley @AnaCabrera If spending and debt reduction is so important then why did we add permanent tax cuts for corporations which disproportionately helps the wealthiest people. When are they going to help the working class?

@CR0302CR @Benett_Langley @AnaCabrera Type in ChatGPT alien Medicaid eligibility. It doesn’t mean what you think it does.

[Gecko12 🇺🇸🦎 @Gecko123456789]

@Benett_Langley @CR0302CR @AnaCabrera This is less than 2% of the annual Medicaid budget. It’s BS to use it as an excuse to shut down the government which does more damage not just to federal employees but all supporting businesses and the service industry around federal buildings.

@Benett_Langley @db_prophoto @krassenstein Did you even read your own document? Bottom right corner under source states undocumented immigrants contribute well over 20B in taxes, offsets the total emergency medical spent.

Today a 42 year old man threw his life away because he believed lies told by people who knew they were lying.

Lemme tell you a story.

I was outed at 17. A mom learned that I had a boyfriend & alerted anyone who’d listen. She howled about my “corrupting influence” & insisted that my gayness was contagious.

Peers were pulled from my classes.

Others stopped showing up to practice. (1/8)

Brig. Gen. Farrell Sullivan, the senior Marine officer on the ground, expressed frustration that the embassy didn’t come around on planning a noncombatant evacuation operation (NEO) more quickly. The NSC also lacked a sense of urgency, in his view.

[Ryan J. Reilly @ryanjreilly]

This is outrageous, and deserves more attention.

There are 3 problems with our media that are fueling polarization: 1. The closing of 2,000 local papers, which are typically not very partisan; 2. Cable news maximizing audience share by adopting political stances (Fox); and 3. Social media’s supercharging of conspiracy theories.

D.C. needs to become a state as soon as possible. It is wholly unfair that people live through this without the powers of a state, particularly as federal law enforcement utterly failed to protect them. Let that be some good that comes from this travesty.

25th Amendment right fucking now.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

in summation—
Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades
Trump is rich but you can't see his tax returns
Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical reports
Trump is honest but you can't subpoena the witnesses
the election was rigged but you can't see the evidence

Has anyone seen a vaccine distribution plan & timeline for SC? I know there hasn’t been an actual plan to contain the virus in the state but was hoping there would at least be one for vaccine distribution. #FailedLeadership

FBI team leader: The Blackwater defendants didn't deserve a pardon.

"The families of those killed and wounded at Nisour Square will now watch those responsible for this tragedy go free thanks to a pardon by the President ... This simply makes me sad."
