So apparently, J.D. Vance flew to the Vatican to invite Pope Leo to the United States for America’s 250th birthday, but he declined and will instead spend July 4th standing with migrants. As a practicing Catholic, I can’t put into words how meaningful it is to watch the Church meet this moment with an American as pope.
It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔
Public service is hard enough without struggling to pay for food….@WCKitchen we are proud to feed our federal workers …furloughed or working without pay…at this difficult time.
A hot meal is our small thank you for doing a big job for the American people!
In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.
So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage.
It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Mr. President @realdonaldtrump I understand why you are confused...all your time in DC you haven't eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel. I've lived here for 33 years, and it's a flat out lie that half the restaurants have closed because of safety...but restaurants will close because you have troops with guns and federal agents harassing people...making people afraid to go out.
Cities and towns and rural areas of America need policies that allow small business to thrive and all people including immigrants to live and work with dignity. People shouldn't be afraid of their government...government should have respect for its people, not terrorize them.
VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.
This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.
Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.
House Republicans just voted to cut $1 billion **local** dollars from DC’s budget. They are hurting police & public safety, firing teachers, slashing Metro funding, & cutting every city service you depend on. We now need Senators to correct this devastating act.
JD/Trump are thugs. And this ambush of Zelensky at the White House will do deep damage to Ukraine, to our allies and to the U.S.
Openly ridiculing and demeaning a man who has kept his country alive for three years against all the odds is a national embarrassment and runs counter to our own security interests. But they could care less that Ukraine was invaded by Russia — the second biggest military power on the planet — led by a ruthless dictator willing to sacrifice soldiers and civilians by the hundreds of thousands. Trump and JD trying to look tough in front of the cameras even though it’s Zelensky who is the strongest one in the room. The guy who was supposed to lose to Russia in a matter of hours or days is still there, fighting. As are the brave Ukrainian soldiers on the front line.
We help Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do for a fellow democracy that is suffering a brutal invasion AND because if Ukraine were to fall, the next fight would be on the front lines of our NATO allies and our military would be treaty-bound to join the war. In other words, Ukraine is shouldering the total cost in terms of the fighting, the lives forever damaged and the lives lost so that we and our European allies don’t have to.
Trump and Vance are not only abandoning Ukraine. They are abandoning the security of our country. Today they made it much more likely that our service members will be fighting again in Europe, 80 years after countless brave Americans helped liberate the continent and make it safe for democracy.
Shameful.
I’m appalled the Department of Education is conducting a political investigation into Arlington Public Schools. Children learn best when they’re in safe, welcoming environments, and I’m proud that our school system is listening to Arlington parents and protecting LGBT students.
Good for @JoeBiden. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
America elected a convicted felon.
That convicted felon pardoned his son-in-law’s father and appointed him Ambassador to France. If you support that, I don’t want to hear jack-shit about Biden pardoning his son.
Over the course of my grandfather's lifetime, he gifted and "loaned" Donald $413 million. And Donald still declared bankruptcy 6 times. He failed so badly that the banks needed to put him on a $425,000-a-month allowance.
