Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

[Greg @Gregsy]

@IngrahamAngle Conservative does not equal Trump's lap dog.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face”

Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars.

@Browns A magnet for billionaire welfare. Haslam is a crook.

[Greg @Gregsy]

This is what a trillion $ a year gets you after all the grift. Republicans don't actually support our "war fighters" as Kegsbreth calls them.

[Newsweek @Newsweek]

A serving officer shared images of meals on USS "Abraham Lincoln"; the Pentagon denied food shortages and said sailors have full meals. https://t.co/a4oaSg1vCA

FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS.

Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%.

Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week:

Eggs: +79%
Ground beef: +77%
Coffee: +68%
Car insurance: +55%
Electricity: +43%
Bacon: +26%
Bread: +24%

Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket.

The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating.

The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy.

Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts.

Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.

Okay @VP, I'll take that bet.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@VP: "I would bet every dollar that I own that the next time the Democrats have control of the Senate, they will break the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and destroy this country. We have to do it NOW in order to save the country."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.

What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Hey @Grok, does Iran have Tomahawk missiles? Keep it short

[Greg @Gregsy]

@WUTangKids @ShawnMcCreesh @grok what countries use tomahawk missiles?

[Greg @Gregsy]

@Nakanosky @esaagar @grok are these really probabilities given by different ai's?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

When leaders of my own party protect sex traffickers, spend our grandkids into oblivion, fund endless wars, lockdown our citizens, bailout corporations, bow to other countries, and hurt small farmers…

…it’s true that I won’t be their yes man.

$3.50 average here around Cleveland today.

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

The average price for a gallon of gas is now $3.30.

That’s the highest Americans have paid for a gallon of gas since September 2014.

This is Joe Biden’s energy crisis.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

I’ve seen a lot of Presidents fall short of their promises but I’ve never seen any President just doing the opposite of everything promised on purpose. Prices, Epstein, wars. Just absolutely racing to betray his voters.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

The U.S. military was likely responsible for the strike on an elementary school in southern Iran that killed scores of children, the deadliest incident of civilian casualties in the US and Israel’s almost week-long war with Iran, according to CNN and expert analysis of evidence.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

OMG CNN and FOX News can never show you this:

Trump supporter flips out as he sees gas prices, proceeds to rip Trump sticker off of his vehicle and curse out the administration.

“How the f**k can we take America back when these c**k suckers don’t even support us?”

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Thomas Massie just went nuclear on Trump’s war in Iran.

“Have we learned nothing from the wars … we sparked in the Middle East that racked up $8 trillion of debt in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan?”

“The Secretary of State said that Israel forced … us into this war.”

“And for what?”

“The Constitution is clear.”

“Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 … provides Congress initiatory powers of war.”

“The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly that the President may only introduce US armed forces into hostilities pursuant to three conditions.”

“One, declaration of war.”

“Two, specific statutory authorization.”

“Or three, a national emergency created by an attack.”

“None of those conditions exist today.”

“American families in my district wanna know how this is gonna help them pay for groceries.”

“How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods?”

“How does this help them pay for housing?”

“A sustained war with Iran will not stabilize the region.”

“It’s already ignited the region.”

“It will radicalize new generations of terrorists.”

“And it will send more swarms of refugees into Europe and the United States.”

“We’ve already expended billions of dollars and, more solemnly, six American families must now lay to rest their sons and daughters.”

“To the men and women who are engaged in combat, I sincerely thank you and I pray for your safety.”

“It is for you that I wrote this resolution.”

“It is for you that all of us are here on this floor working so hard to force this vote so that you will have a clear mission .. so that you will know when you achieve it, you can come home.”
