“Sorely needed in this moment—for the sake of our individual and collective soul!”
– @MarlenaGraves

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

"Within days, Mr. McConnell surrendered his influence and his principles. He might well have found the 10 extra votes needed to change American history. In the end, he did not even vote for conviction himself. It will be the defining stain on Mr. McConnell’s legacy. "

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I think it’s strange and sad that we’ve stopped venerating the American immigrant story. It’s the story of America. It’s the story of our heritage. And we should continue to celebrate it as the thing that makes America not just what it is, but who we are. 🇺🇸

[Kentucky Democrats @KyDems]

Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell just voted against extending health insurance tax credits, choosing to let health care premiums skyrocket for thousands of Kentuckians.

They are hellbent on lining billionaires’ pockets over making health care affordable for Kentuckians.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA over 70 times over the last 15 years. They've had 15 years to come up with a replacement plan.

15 years later? They have no plan.

And today they voted to spike healthcare premiums for over half a million Michiganders.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

BREAKING: Republicans blocked our clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits—guaranteeing health insurance premiums skyrocket for millions in the new year.

The GOP owns the health care crisis to come.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

The cost of living in America has skyrocketed.

So what's the Trump Administration doing?

Ending the most affordable repayment plan for student loan borrowers in history.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: What would Jesus do about a healthcare system that forces the sick to start GoFundMe pages to afford life-saving surgeries? We Christians are called to do more than charity. We are called to challenge the systems that make charity necessary.

[Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY]

Affordability isn't a hoax when millions of Americans struggle to afford groceries, rent or health care. I will always listen to our families and work to make life better.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: Trump is gerrymandering Texas because his policies are unpopular. They’re kicking millions off their health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires. So they're trying to rig the results of the next election. We cannot allow this to become normal

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

The Roberts Court will go down in history as having upheld the desires of Donald Trump and the GOP, rather than its commitment to justice, precedent or the rule of law.

Today’s ruling — which substitutes its own fact finding for that of the lower court — is yet another example.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

These maps were ruled discriminatory by a panel of federal judges appointed by Presidents of both parties.

The Supreme Court has supplanted any pretense of impartial jurist prudence with nonstop right-wing decisions that erode the right to fair elections and equal protection under the law.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Behn: This isn't the end of our story. It's not even close, because what we have built here in this district, this grassroots movement, is part of something bigger that is happening across the south and is happening across this country. Because we are tired of people outside of this state telling us that the south is backwards, that it's hopeless and it's destined to be ruled by the same powerful people again and again. The south is not silent because the south has something to say. And Tennessee, we are leading the way. We have inspired an entire country. They are with us tonight and they are so proud. we’re able to do. And we may not have won tonight, but we changed the story of what's possible here. And we're not done, not by a long shot.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

The President is raising rates by thousands of dollars PER FAMILY for northern Michiganders. 

He’s rejecting disaster aid out of spite, just because he feels like it. His decision will cost impacted residents tens of millions of dollars and threatens our rural utility providers’ future.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people and the world. Because a military that abandons its legal and ethical foundations does not protect a nation—it endangers it. A military that trades the Constitution for personal loyalty ceases to be American. And a military that fails to investigate serious allegations of unlawful conduct invites tragedy—strategic, moral, and human."

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🎯 @RobSandIA on Private School Vouchers (for the wealthy) — “CALL THEIR BLUFF… if they want public dollars, they should have to follow the same rules as public schools… it’s not a ‘COMPETITION’ when not everyone is playing by the same rules.”

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

My God.

This @WSJ piece on Trump, Witkoff and Kushner's venality for Russian business deals from which they will personally profit at the price of selling Ukraine into Russian slavery and despair is devastating and ugly.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

The Trump administration's foreign policy in Europe is not designed to benefit Europe, Ukraine or even Americans. It's designed to benefit friends of Trump.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd.

Not about peace. Just about profit.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Devastating @wsj report on the real Trump-Russia deal: betray Ukraine in exchange for privileged business benefits for Trump insiders. https://t.co/QeVkvwyeZt

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

Do we understand now why @SenMarkKelly did the video? And who will account for @petehegseth_DoD ordering the death of survivors?
