“Don’t lose that sense of awe, kid,” Leahy said he’d instruct his younger self. “Hold on to it. Treasure it. Don’t even for a minute forget what a privilege and a responsibility it is to serve here.”

What the actual fuck was that?

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Political violence is evil and indefensible. It's a cancer that will feed off itself and spread. Charlie Kirk is a human being with a family. Harming him or anyone else for their political views is disgusting and will rip this country apart and hurt everyone.

I guess they can’t indict a ham sandwich.

If Republicans had followed Steve Bannon’s advice about allowing the tax rate for the top 1% return from 37% to 39.6%, they could have reduced the Medicaid cuts in the bill roughly in half

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

“I am saying it clear and loud,” Mahdawi said, the Columbia student who was just released. “To President Trump and his cabinet: I am not afraid of you.”

Me, the one time 6 years ago when I didn’t bcc the press list

[Jay Tilton @JayTilton]

I would love to see how many billions of dollars were lost from Americans’ retirement accounts because of this self inflicted idiocy.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Astonishing, enraging, sickening story by Philip Holsinger documenting what he saw at the processing of the people our country sent the San Salvadoran prison hellscape.

Yo, can @RepCohen’s comms team shoot him a quick text about camera angles for live TV interviews?

[Senator Peter Welch @SenPeterWelch]

This is a day that Americans will remember.

They will remember the day the Republican-controlled Congress gave unprecedented power to President Trump and Elon Musk to continue their reckless, illegal rampage that will have devastating impacts for decades to come.

My Spotify would suggest I’m a 23-year-old woman on a 6-month streak of dating just awful men.

It’s almost like indiscriminate tariff whiplash and recklessly slashing government jobs, programs and grants that people and businesses depend on is bad for the economy. 🤷‍♂️

JUST IN: U.S. stocks tumbled in early trading on Thursday as fallout from the Trump administration's tariffs continued to roil markets. https://t.co/ioZ0A8doXB

1 in 3 older Americans will die with #Alzheimers or another dementia. I know personally that this is a devastating disease for the people living with it, their loved ones, and their care givers. It is unconscionable that Republicans are refusing to protect this valuable research

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Early this morning, I offered an amendment to increase funding and prevent any cuts to Alzheimer's research at the NIH. Republicans blocked it.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Man. i've been around long enough to remember when Republicans criticized Barack Obama for having Greek columns on his 2008 convention stage

[Alice Miranda Ollstein @AliceOllstein]

Trump said in an interview last night: “Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched.”

Today he endorsed the House plan to slash billions from Medicaid. https://t.co/1pDBdEHnIE

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Aviation workers. Nuclear safety experts. Disease investigators. Power grid operators. Maternal health specialists. Bird flu experts.

They work to keep Americans safe—without fame or fanfare. Now, Trump and Musk are gutting their agencies and firing them. Here are the facts 🧵

[Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro]

The Speaker is mistaken. No one has walked away from the table. We sent them an offer yesterday. He should give Chairman Cole a call for a status update.

These are the birds everyone’s talking about, right?
