Jon Ossoff: “They worked harder burying the Epstein Files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill. And while you pay more for everything, the Trumps are raking in billions. Illegal tariffs, failed war, healthcare cuts, and unmatched corruption. 34% approval and a presidential legacy cemented in disgrace”
McGowan: Trump’s saying you're going to live in squalor with no food and no housing and no law and order. We have that for many people right now. That's why people are voting for democratic socialists, because they want government to look out for them again.
Biden: Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool.
Whoa. What a loser.
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that if the ONLY thing Speaker Johnson is concerned with is running "the protection program" for trump like a wannabe mobster, he should NOT be Speaker of the House.
WORST. SPEAKER. EVER.
Gov. @GavinNewsom: “It’s time for a national billionaires tax. 10% of 🇺🇸 owns 2/3rds of the wealth. Wages have stood still as costs skyrocket. The system is broken. Time for an economic reset. The very top should pay at least the same tax rate as their workers. End the gimmick that lets the ultra-wealthy borrow against their stock portfolios while claiming no income. Rewrite the inheritance rules. Raise corporate tax rates. Every American should own a piece of A.I… trickle down has failed. Stop pretending otherwise. Democratize the 🇺🇸 economy to save our democracy.”
MAHER: "Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes: either we win, or they cheated. That shit has to stop."
VANCE: “Here’s where I’m probably gonna lose you…”
MAHER: “That happened 8 minutes ago.”
VANCE: *Forced laughter*
He claims it was “rigged” only in 2020 because tech companies censored info… which is now Trump’s main strategy. (From @BlueGeorgia)
If the Postal Service moves forward with President Trump's plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I'll pursue a congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office.
No administration should be able to use the Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to vote.
🚨HUGE: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he'll SLAP Donald Trump with a major lawsuit if the USPS refuses to collect and deliver every single valid mail ballot.
"We're going to fight like hell to protect your right to vote…we’ll see them in court.”
HANDS OFF OUR VOTES.
AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.
And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.
And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.
What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.
This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO
The Trump appointee who said he once teleported to a Waffle House in comments uncovered by CNN’s @KFILE has now been ousted from FEMA. @GabeCohenNews reports he was seen “more and more as a loose cannon.”
A congressional candidate in Iowa shares audio from a call he received from RFK Jr. urging him to drop out of his race: “It’s pretty laughable in a sense that anybody could hear that and think that it wasn’t quid pro quo.”
Senator Richard Blumenthal is demanding an investigation into reports of a secret, $500m investment by an Emirati Royal into the Trump family’s cryptocurrency business: “Probably the most overtly corrupt deal by an American president with any foreign official in American history.”
Mike Johnson ADMITS MAGA cronies are corrupt and there’s reason to investigate them! These guys can’t stop saying the quiet part out loud.
They know we have the power to win the midterms and they are afraid.
The President has made very clear, including in the State of the Union, that if his side doesn't win in November, then the election was rigged. He's using every which way he can to try and swing the election his way.
