The fountains are flowing. The weather is perfect. ☀️

If you're in Washington DC this weekend, get out and enjoy it.

Historic fountains and public spaces across the Nation's Capital have been brought back to life as part of @POTUS's efforts to make the city safe & beautiful.

When even the Washington Post calls out Abigail Spanberger’s “brazenly dishonest” campaign to disenfranchise voters, this is about more than politics.

This is about fairness, democracy, and protecting the voice of millions of Virginians.

VOTE NO.

Reliable water means strong farms and more stable food prices. Thanks to @POTUS’ One Big Beautiful Bill, we’re investing $889 million in Western water infrastructure to support agriculture and keep costs down.

Watch how this is strengthening communities across the West:

Makes me sick. Survives all of that just to be murdered on US soil by a terrorist who should have never been on the streets.

RIP.

The idea that this admin is "fumbling" (Politico) this energy moment is hilarious. It's thanks to Trump's energy indendence/dominance agenda that we could confront Iran, and why his team now has levers to pull. The real risk to energy: Biden

Today, the U.S. is the number one exporter in the WORLD!

Crazy Shutdown

The Republicans have offered the gold star equivalent that should have avoided a shutdown - a clean continuing resolution with no cuts or strings attached. There would be NO cuts to Medicaid while budget negotiations rolled on. None. The rhetoric otherwise is just false.

The Schumer shutdown is simply to please the left of his party to show he is part of the “resistance “ and it serves no real purpose since the Dems have even more bargaining power in the final negotiations than during the shutdown.

Keep it up and the dem base will continue to erode as paychecks and support checks stop coming.

Schumer should end the shutdown and negotiate real budgets and appropriations. Government should not be performative art for the political bases. The point has been made. Time to move on.
