Mitch McConnell has taken more medical leave than most mothers in America get for maternity leave.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Republican Rep. Kean voted against 40 hours of paid medical leave for workers, then took 4 months paid leave himself.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.

The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Stop pretending this is about cracking down on fraud when Trump literally let people who stole hundreds of millions in Medicare and Medicaid money walk free. One guy stole $1.3 billion and served 14 months of a 20-year sentence. When a reporter asked the DOJ about it, they refused to answer.

That’s the hypocrisy people are angry about. Republicans want to talk tough on fraud while protecting the biggest fraudsters when they’re politically connected. If fraud is wrong, then it should be wrong for everyone.

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense: using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. This is exactly the kind of corruption and abuse of public trust the Framers feared most. Impeach now.

Pro-Israel groups are spending big to sink Thomas Massie in the most expensive House primary in history https://t.co/uBqx5X6Z5u

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion.

The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.

What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.

Truly a golden age.

WTF

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The Justice Department is said to be considering settling a lawsuit President Trump filed against the IRS over the release of his tax returns. https://t.co/PLOTDQm5G6

[Rep. Jack Kimble @RepJackKimble]

I know that nobody wants to spend a billion dollars of tax money on a ballroom when we can't afford health care, but trust me on this--It's going to be really nice.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Weird, because Spirit Airlines blamed it on rising fuel costs because of Trump’s war in Iran.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Trump saying that Iran has “no cards” is laughable - the world is hurting from their control of the Strait of Hormuz. Seems like a pretty powerful card! Inflation is up and fuel is up over 40% in just a month.

Our negotiating team is anchored by real estate developers, one of whom didn’t understand what Iran was even offering to begin with. And Iran and Russia have been getting the sanctions relief they wanted. Can’t argue this is all going to plan.

[Kim Dotcom @KimDotcom]

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I will obliterate her entire civilization.

She now charges me a fee to use the bathroom, that used to be free, and I didn't get dinner. WTF

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

Call me crazy, but we shouldn't have to wake up every day trying to figure out if the president of the United States is trying to manipulate the market or start a nuclear war.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
