In the richest country on earth, 20% of our seniors should not be forced to live on $15,000 a year or less.

We must lift the cap on taxable income, increase Social Security benefits, and strengthen Social Security's solvency for generations to come.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Acting AG Todd Blanche—formerly Donald Trump's personal lawyer—signed an order blocking the IRS from investigating the President, his family, and his businesses.

This may be valued at over $100 million.

I have a bill to stop this corruption.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

This Administration dropped Trump's illegal slush fund in large part due to public outcry. That pressure must continue.

We must also pass legislation in Congress to ensure that this gross corruption never happens again.

"I'm only doing this for one term. I am not a politician. I did not ever want to be a politician. I'm doing this because we need to do something now. We can't survive 32 more months of what we've seen for the past 16, full stop."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

No, Mr. President. The 2020 election that you lost was not "rigged" or "dirty," handing out $1.776 billion to violent insurrectionists is not a "good idea" & reporters who ask questions about your bogus claims are not "crooked."

You are a president, not a dictator. Act like it.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Not enough people know that the DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump and his family from IRS audits.

That's *extraordinarily* corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar. https://t.co/4I2ovkLZQq

To serve as Director of National Intelligence, a national security background is not just crucial for the job–it’s required by the law. Bill Pulte is unqualified for the role, and a Democratic Senate will reject nominees who lack the expertise this position demands.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Bill Pulte has shown that he will go into Americans' personal records to weaponize the government against people. I have a fundamental problem with someone like that being the Director of National Intelligence, and it should send a shiver down the spine of every American.

[Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

It has been 100 days since Donald Trump plunged us into this war with Iran.

The cost has been high and it is rising. 13 servicemembers. Dozens of civilians, including children. And skyrocketing prices at home and around the globe.

100 days too many.

Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Scott Pelley Sounded Like A Man Attending A Funeral.

Not for a person.

For a profession.

🔥 That’s why his defense of journalism hit so hard.

Scott Pelley confirmed on the record that CBS management ordered him to “inject falsehoods” into 60 Minutes coverage.

He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network.

He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.”

Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News.

He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.

The Paramount-Skydance merger closed.

The new ownership installed Weiss. Pelley is the most senior on-air voice at CBS News describing what’s happening inside.

This is what institutional capture sounds like from inside the institution.

Zelenskyy: We've got messages that they are ready for meeting only if Ukraine will do what they decided in Anchorage. With all respect to the President of the United States, but you can't cut our country. You can't make decisions without us, about us. It's unacceptable and it will not bring peace.

Trump is too emotional to be president. Also, per the interview he ran away from this morning, he’s clearly still planning on his $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6 insurrectionists. Republicans need to grow a spine and stop enabling this disgusting corruption.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We’re already facing the worst student loan crisis in history: nearly 1 in 4 borrowers are in default.

Now Trump wants to make it even worse.

On July 1, he’ll eliminate the most affordable repayment plan and raise costs by as much as $4,000 a year.

We can’t let that happen.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

This is beyond outrageous.

A man caught on video storming the Capitol has no place in a sensitive counterterrorism role at the Pentagon.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKY: I told Trump that I didn’t play with Putin. For us, it’s very serious. It’s not about cards.

I didn’t have cards, but I had the most important — smart and brave people. This is our card — the card of Ukraine. That’s why we’re now very strong with our drone technology.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Is Congress doing anything to help the millions of workers who could lose their jobs to AI and robotics? No.

They're intimidated by the hundreds of millions the AI industry is pouring into super PACs.

We must ban super PACs and crack down on corruption.

“Right now, CBS News is on fire”

Scott Pelley: “We need adult supervision and at the moment we don’t have it. We have people who’ve been installed in these jobs who through no fault of their own have no experience in television. It’s not their fault, but they don’t know what they’re doing. There’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen at 60 Minutes or CBS News before. That is my hope, a return to sanity. A return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those things in abundance and now we don’t. We can save this. It’s possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire”
