Joe Rogan: Why are you a Democrat?
@JamesTalarico: My mother met my birth father, who had a drinking problem that sometimes led to being violent. My mom decided right then and there that she was leaving. She found a little apartment in East Austin and worked double duty at a hotel to provide for us. She saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’ Our historical legacy is the party that fights for the little guy. That's why I'm a Democrat.
SMITH: “They were fired illegally for doing their jobs. It makes 🇺🇸 less safe… I’ve never seen anything like it.”
COONS: “Did Biden/Garland try to influence you?”
SMITH: “NO… and one reason Trump couldn’t take power is REPUBLICANS (Pence, etc) who stood up and put 🇺🇸 first.”
Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Trump whether Trump will seek to meddle in 2026 elections:
“I think a criminal who undermined one election is very likely to undermine another”
Universal coverage doesn’t mean free health care for everyone. It means making sure every New Mexican has an affordable way to access coverage.
In New Mexico,we have pulled every lever available to expand access and ensure that all New Mexicans can afford their health care premium.
As a result, New Mexico was the only state in the nation this year to see an enrollment increase on our state exchange, BeWell.
Affordable access to health care is a human right. In New Mexico, we’re committed to protecting it for generations to come.
Cory Booker calls out Republicans for perpetuating J6 conspiracy theories: "This committee's Republicans are more concerned with Trump than the truth."
CRUZ: Do you have any evidence whatsoever to believe that I and 20% of Republicans in the Senate will engage in destruction or tampering with evidence or intimidation of potential witnesses?
JACK SMITH: No. We had powerful evidence that Donald Trump and his associates would
Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"
BREAKING: President Bush's former White House ethics attorney declares that Trump's use of YOUR money for his deranged MAGA political ads is "illegal" and could be an "impeachable offense."
When Democrats take Congress, this bill comes due...
“As I told @baylisswagner of the @nytimes here, this could be an impeachable offense. @POTUS has no right to use taxpayer money for campaign ads,” Richard Painter, who served under George W. Bush, wrote on X, referring to remarks he made to the Times calling the ads "very dangerous" and "government-sponsored propaganda."
“Congress has expressly prohibited government sponsored political propaganda, which is dangerous for democracy,” Painter continued.
"This is an abuse of power. Government propaganda like this is common in countries like Iran and North Korea, but not here. In fact it's illegal," he added in a followup tweet.
One of the ads in question aired over the weekend during two widely-watched NFL games. It showed footage of Trump waddling down a hallway in black and white as he rambled in voiceover about defeating "communists, Marxists, and fascists" as well as "the warmongers” and “deep state.” At the end, text on screen revealed that the unhinged ad was "Paid for by the U.S. Government," meaning with our tax dollars.
The irony, of course, is that Trump himself is an unabashed fascist and bloodthirsty warmonger, as proven by his mass-murdering, illegal war against Iran.
According to AdImpact, three different, equally shameless pro-Trump ads have run in the past week, paid for by us.
There is no way for the Trump administration to spin this flagrant abuse of power. This is illegal and it constitutes naked theft. Everyone involved in these ads must be investigated and prosecuted when we retake control of our government.
