I really miss this kind of America.

Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford ran against each other in 1976.

When Ford passed away, Carter gave the eulogy at his funeral.

When Carter passed away, Ford’s son Steve spoke at Carter’s funeral.

Barack Obama and John McCain ran against each other in 2008.

When McCain passed away, Obama gave the eulogy at his funeral.

They disagreed. They debated. They fought hard for what they believed in.

But at the end of the day, they still saw each other as human beings. As Americans.

That is the part we have lost.

Somewhere along the way, disagreement turned into hatred. Politics turned into teams. And people forgot that respect does not mean you agree with someone on everything.

I still believe we can get back to this.

Not because it will be easy. Not because everyone will suddenly think the same.

But because America is supposed to be better than this.

Bipartisan respect used to be possible.

And someday, I pray we remember how to do it again. 🇺🇸💙

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

This is an iron lung for polio victims.

Remember these?

Me neither. It's now in a museum..where it should stay.

Why?

Because vaccines work

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

[White House Xray @xray_media]

The admin's war on "fraud" is a hunt for pennies in the couch cushions of the poor, while the architects of billion-dollar heists are celebrated with a get-out-of-jail-free card.

While Trump commuted the sentence of Philip Esformes for a $1.3B Medicare fraud, his "One Big Beautiful Bill" guts Medicaid by $1.02 trillion. This isn't policy; it's a wealth transfer. The CBO projects 11.8 million Americans will lose coverage, all while the man who stole billions walks free.

Punishing poverty while rewarding grand larceny. This is the admin's one, big, beautiful betrayal.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

[LSchildgen @LSchildgen]

Who can possibly support this rotten-to-the-core excuse for a human??

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

COLLINS: Have you called Tim Walz yet?

TRUMP: I don't really call him. He appointed this guy to a position. I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him ... he's a mess.

[Luke Epplin @LukeEpplin]

It's wild that we have a president who refers to the governor of the most populous state as "Newscum" and everyone in his party is just fine with that behavior. They've just completely ceded the idea that a person in that position of power should act dignified or morally.

[Mario @PawlowskiMario]

And that’s why this country will never be taken seriously from now on for generations.

Official White House account just reposted this.😳

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs.

These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading.

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?

I'm writing to the White House — the public has a right to know.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded https://t.co/AU4XjT1mpT

[DreamTogether @4Democracy50]

And not just NIH.

“The FDA as we’ve known it is finished, with most of the leaders with institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of product development and safety no longer employed,” Robert Califf, who served as FDA commissioner under Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, wrote on LinkedIn on Tuesday morning.

What was once the top worldwide agency for targeted reserach, vaccine/drug development, disease management, and food safety has been destroyed in less than 90 days.

And only one party to blame; MAGA REPUBLICANS.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

But Zelenskyy disrespected the Oval Office for not wearing a suit? Man fuck y’all. 😂

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Nothing to see here—just Alina Habba, Donald Trump’s attorney and counselor to the president, openly expressing support for Andrew Tate, a man accused of rape and human trafficking, and claiming to be a ‘big fan.’

Absolutely disgusting!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.

I think it's a story everyone needs to know.

1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.
