It failed by one vote.
One. Vote.
Last time, the margin was worse.
We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.
🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is getting mocked after video shows him walking away without even closing his own umbrella before boarding the plane.
This is a man who’s had everything handed to him his entire life. Never worked a real job.
Pure entitlement.
Iconic footage of the🐐Ruth Messinger going toe-to-toe with Trump over tax abatements. Love her reaction watching it years later. And he hasn’t changed at all. Here he was soft launching “fake news” 40 years ago.

Important words to remember amidst Donald Trump’s costly, chaotic unilateral decision to bring our country into war.
From Jimmy Carter’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh
"Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
BREAKING: In a powerful moment, France's President Emmanuel Macron just powerfully decried Donald Trump's decision to revoke sanctions on Russian oil. Our allies are furious with Donald Trump. This is terrible.
BREAKING: Hillary Clinton totally COOKED Nancy Mace, who tried playing the interruption game during Clinton's closed door deposition on the Epstein files.
Must see.🔥🔥🔥
Rep. Jason Crow on the president warning Americans could die: "How amazing of Donald Trump to say, you know, that often happens in war. And that's a cost he's willing to take. Great for him. It's not his kids. It's not his family. It's not his billionaire donors who are having to go off and do it."
