[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

An egregious scheme to profit off the presidency and enrich Wall Street while doing nothing to help Americans.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Well, they asked for her, and they got her. And @HillaryClinton isn't holding back!
Her opening statement is quite a throw down to an Oversight Committee that grudgingly engaged the Epstein issue under prolonged fire from his victims but continues to tip toe around troubling issues for fear of offending the @POTUS.

Most Corrupt White House in The History of the United States of America

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

[Barbara Comstock @BarbaraComstock]

MAGA Justice: Trump screws the little guy again. Gentile served 7 days in jail. His1000s of defrauded victims included small business owners, farmers, veterans, teachers and nurses. One said, “I lost my whole life savings. I am living from check to check.” https://t.co/T2RSzveDbm

[David Fahrenthold @Fahrenthold]

Really well-done story by @thecrimson.

[julie k. brown @jkbjournalist]

Trump did not tip off the police. I interviewed the chief and the lead detective. They were tipped off by a parent.

Here's a fact check of 18 of the false claims President Trump made in his lie-filled interview on "60 Minutes" last night: https://t.co/OYyyfdzoju

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

BREAKING: Federal judge rules federal agents must wear visible identification, can’t use riot weapons against peaceful protestors. Ruling follows agents pepper spraying and tear gassing journalists and a priest in Chicago.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has rejected the Trump Administration’s offer of federal funding in exchange for aligning with Trump’s agenda. This is the first university to do so.

RETWEET to thank MIT President Sally Kornbluth for standing up to Trump!

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Hey Brendan "we can do this the easy way or the hard way" Carr: Last year in National Rifle Association v. Vullo, the Supreme Court unanimously reaffirmed this fundamental principle of our constitutional republic: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors." This doesn't just constrain Democrats. It applies to all officeholders, including you. You took an oath to the Constitution not to Donald Trump.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: Ron DeSantis just ordered cities to erase rainbow crosswalks.

Not homelessness. Not poverty. Not crumbling infrastructure.

His top priority? Waging a taxpayer-funded culture war against paint.

Florida is being governed by spite.

In the 50 years since the recission power was created, no majority party has EVER done what Republicans are doing today.

[Jason Garcia @Jason_Garcia]

One thing is quickly becoming clear about “Alligator Alcatraz,” the immigrant detention camp that the state of Florida just opened in the middle of the Everglades:

The politicians running the place are bigger lawbreakers than many of the immigrants they’re locking up.

🧵...

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper. 

DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies. 

We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.

Insurance issues are upending the lives of Floridians. My friends are leaving the state.

[Scott Maxwell @Scott_Maxwell]

The Florida's GOP's version of insurance rEFoRm may not have led to help for homeowners - since avg premiums are up another 30% since they took action.
But it's definitely working out for some of the companies onto which the state is forcing Floridians.
As I've since Day 1 ...

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The House bill adds more to deficits than any recent major legislation — even covid stimulus.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF.
