Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval.
After lying by saying that the project would not cost taxpayers a dime, new documents show Trump’s Marie Antoinette-style ballroom will cost Americans over $300 MILLION. As families grapple with soaring costs, the President is focused on throwing parties.
Exclusive: A detailed project summary of the ballroom prepared for the White House by a contractor estimated the total construction cost at $600 million — with more than half coming from taxpayers, according to a copy obtained by The Post. https://t.co/gHM0D7BmOg
Habeas corpus is a basic right that protects Americans from being unlawfully detained by the government. That Trump considered illegally suspending it in order to terrorize and detain immigrants without limit is a testament to his contempt for the law and our Constitution.
Excited to welcome the Croatian national soccer team to Alexandria as they gear up to compete in the World Cup! Hoping players and fans alike can enjoy everything the Commonwealth has to offer while they’re in town. 🇺🇸🇭🇷
Mr. President—I’ve never said thank you before . . .
But now I will . . .
Thanks for staying away from Games 1, 2, 4 and 5!
You should get an NBA Peace Prize!
I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Bernie Henderson, a wonderful person and trusted advisor to multiple VA governors. My family will always be grateful for his help planning Linwood Holton’s funeral. My prayers are with the entire Henderson family during this difficult time.
Reporter: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
POTUS: "No, I love it. The numbers look great. I love the inflation."
“Today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.” Apparently our nitwit Secretary of War(drobe) thinks a D-Day commemoration is an appropriate time to push his far right ideology in Europe. https://t.co/gq96m4g5ym
If I was a business looking for a new site, a public announcement that local law enforcement wouldn’t enforce a law banning assault weapons would make me look elsewhere. Ignoring the law is bad for business. https://t.co/SccO2JOZLZ
Only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center. Trump sacked leadership and installed cronies who put his name on it. He won’t ask 2 R majorities in Congress to rename it because he doesn’t respect the law. The Court stopped his narcissism and now he’s throwing a tantrum. Pathetic. https://t.co/A2XbkGtGKA
They tackle Alex Padilla, they tear gas Andy Kim . . . and they ask Congress to cough up another 70 billion dollars without reforms to stop thug behavior? Yeah . . . right . . .
Now there is video of Senator @AndyKimNJ being pepper-sprayed by DHS outside Delaney Hall detention facility on Monday. You can hear onlookers say, “they tear-gassed Andy Kim.”
The GOP is now owned by Trump and his chaotic cabal of self-dealing wackos. They’re too focused on corruption to stand up for Americans or lower your costs. This November gives America a wonderful chance to show we can do better. Talarico v Paxton clarifies the stakes.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.
He embodies the broken system we’re running against.
It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton
Today Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said the U.S. is pausing arms sales to Taiwan because of the war with Iran.
“Right now we're doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury,” Cao told Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Sec. Hegseth has said "we have plenty" when asked about munitions concerns.
Last week, President Trump said the $14 billion package of US arms to Taiwan that awaits his approval is a "very good negotiating chip" with China.
This is progress. Not as fast as I would like it to be, and we have more work to do. But Congress is starting to listen to the will of the American people who want President Trump's reckless war with Iran to end.
Trump is setting up a $1.7 billion slush fund to hand out YOUR taxpayer dollars to his cronies—including January 6th insurrectionists and rioters who attacked police officers. This is the most corrupt administration in American history.
BREAKING:
It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
