Hey, just want to put this out there. Vaccines are safe and effective. You should get them, your children should get them. Without them, you'll die from preventable disease. There is NO link to autism. End of story. No discussion.

[Zack Bornstein @ZackBornstein]

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

Walmart wages are so low that public assistance (including SNAP and Medicaid) for their employees costs taxpayers $6,200,000,000 per year. Meanwhile the Walton's are worth $500,000,000,000. Every Walmart needs to unionize.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

As George Washington intended.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I actually think this statement is a big deal.

Because it tells you all you need to know. They believe, in their bones, in an imperial presidency where the executive rules absolutely and uses his power to destroy enemies and enrich himself.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Yes, JD. The Epstein cover up you have led from the Situation Room is worse.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Senator Chris Murphy is introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour.

The bill would increase the $7.25 hourly wage over 6 years and prohibit subminimum wages for tipped workers.

Nearly half of American workers make less than $25 an hour.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Yes who could’ve popularized the idea that @elonmusk destroyed USAID

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House.

The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

[Silicon Valley Fodder @Playerinthgame]

I sometimes feel we've REALLY lost our perspective lately because $112 billion in net profit in a year is an INSANE amount of money, yet Apple is saying it's forced to increase prices on consumers. We should just be so much angrier about all of this.

[Dr. Salome Mathews @TheSalomeMath]

How embarrassing to have a trillion dollars and not a single humanitarian foundation, hospital, university, museum. You could solve world hunger but you just want more

[Dr. Salome Mathews @TheSalomeMath]

@FT This is a crisis

[Greg @GregGrandin]

For perspective, the East Germans over the course of nearly 3 decades, killed 140 trying to cross over the Berlin Wall.

[Reed Carringer @rcarringer]

Yes. I’m in favor of tax dollars paying for literacy. Hope this helps!

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The wealth of those 51 billionaires are your denied claims, cut coverage, rationed medications and skipped doctors appointments.

Healthcare shouldn't be for-profit.
Demand Medicare for All.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

A Court that takes away rights, weakens voting protections, ignores ethics concerns, and shields their political Boss in the WH shouldn’t be shocked when Americans start asking whether it’s still a court or or an exclusive club of political stooges.

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

"We have a vaccine that prevents shingles, a vaccine that markedly lowers the risk of dementia, and a vaccine that might even slow aging itself. Conveniently, these three vaccines are actually just one: the shingles vaccine. But fewer than half of eligible Americans have received the vaccine." https://t.co/VKyZMDHJdj
