[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

[Don Salmon @dijoni]

The Obama family.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

A good day to remember what grace is all about.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

There isn’t a bigger sore loser in the country.

Back to bed grandpa!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.

Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.

When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

Wishing Mike Johnson and his other closeted Republicans a happy Pride month 🌈😘

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: American politics is coin-operated. Money goes in, favors come out, and that's why spectacular wealth buys an ever-greater share of power over our national affairs, while the mere citizen is treated with contempt.

Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern American history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money on both sides.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump and his family have now made $4 BILLION off the presidency, including more than $3 billion from crypto alone.

Here’s a radical idea. What about having a president who wants to improve the financial well-being of ALL Americans, not just his own family and fellow oligarchs.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Surprise, surprise: After months of Trump claiming Iran’s military was “decimated,” U.S. intelligence now says Iran still has 70% of its missile stockpile and most of its launch capability.

Maybe we shouldn’t let Netanyahu, a liar and a war criminal, dictate U.S. foreign policy.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The Trump Administration says the war in Iran will cost $25 billion.

That’s a lie.

This war could cost over $1 trillion—thousands of dollars for every household in America.

Invest in housing, education, and health care—not illegal and unconstitutional wars.

END THIS WAR NOW.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.

MAGA has rigged the system.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: We were promised a Golden Age. Instead, the economy's lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs just since Trump launched his big illegal tariffs. Hiring’s at its lowest rate since 2020. Did y'all hear that? Hiring is at its lowest rate since 2020. Zero net private sector job creation for the past six months.

Here in Georgia, International Paper closed its plants in Savannah and Riceboro, more than 1,000 jobs gone. SK just laid off almost 1,000 workers at their EV battery plant over in Commerce because of this administration's war on renewable energy.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Donald Trump has done more to protect Jeffrey Epstein than he has to protect you from rising gas prices and grocery costs.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Health care? "You're on your own."

Housing? "Nothing we can do."

Grocery prices? "You're out of luck."

$200 billion for another war? "No problem!"

Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars.

We need to invest here at home.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING IF SHE WAS IN OFFICE

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Every foreign trip, every deal, every tariff is tied to Trump’s personal portfolio. He’s enriching himself by the billions while he’s in office — it's crony capitalism. And the American people are paying for it.

THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Net worth of the billionaires opposing California's wealth tax:

Elon Musk: $844 billion
Larry Page: $262 billion
Sergey Brin: $243 billion
Mark Zuckerberg: $228 billion
Larry Ellison: $209 billion

Yes. We must tax billionaires. And it starts in California.
