Feds placed the pipe bombs and fomented the demonstrations on January 6, 2021. One day this will be known as certainly as the fact that COVID was the result of U.S. funded lab research.
James Talarico: “Young people can’t afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can’t afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht. Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes, but someone like Elon Musk can get away without paying a penny”
Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
@elonmusk If you wanted what was best for this country, you would stop with the division and hate. We are all really over this narrative.
What you are saying isn’t true. Not all democrats think like one scenario you read. Just stop already
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 HOLY SHIT: Joe Kent just revealed the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him:
“The last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing. He looked me in the eye and he said: 'Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.'
And then he’s suddenly publicly assassinated and we’re not allowed to ask any questions about that? The investigation that I was a part of [with] the National Counterterrorism Center, we were stopped from continuing to investigate. But there was still a lot for us to look into that I can’t really get into.
We know, because of the text messages that have been made public, that Charlie was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.”
Joe Kent tells Tucker Iran was not on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb. This is Iraq all over again. We should not be fighting this war, we should be putting America FIRST!!!
FETTERMAN: "One name that often doesn't come from my side is Laken Riley. I grieve for Renee Goode and I grieve for Alex Pretti, but I also deeply, deeply grieve for Laken Riley and their family."
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.
🚨 Rep. Neguse just exposed a $143 million no-bid contract live on camera:
The company has no headquarters. No website. No prior federal contracts.
It was incorporated 8 days before receiving the contract.
Its registered address belongs to a political operative.
One of its subcontractors is a political firm tied directly to Kristi Noem from her time as South Dakota governor.
Neguse asked Noem where the company is headquartered.
“I don’t know.”
$143 million of taxpayer money. Vanished into a ghost company. Connected to the Secretary of Homeland Security herself.
This is the agency running DOGE. Cutting waste. Eliminating fraud.
Senator Blumenthal asks Kristi Noem if she has met any of the American Citizens that were detained by her Department and she didn’t answer so he brought up three to speak in front of her about what they went through and she just played stupid and honestly didn’t give a crap!
We’re debating the Iran War Powers Resolution I co-authored with @RepRoKhanna.
Under our Constitution, the power to initiate war rests solely with Congress.
Congress owes our service members a clearly defined mission, so that when they accomplish it, they can come home.
Thomas Massie just went nuclear on Trump’s war in Iran.
“Have we learned nothing from the wars … we sparked in the Middle East that racked up $8 trillion of debt in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan?”
“The Secretary of State said that Israel forced … us into this war.”
“And for what?”
“The Constitution is clear.”
“Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 … provides Congress initiatory powers of war.”
“The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly that the President may only introduce US armed forces into hostilities pursuant to three conditions.”
“One, declaration of war.”
“Two, specific statutory authorization.”
“Or three, a national emergency created by an attack.”
“None of those conditions exist today.”
“American families in my district wanna know how this is gonna help them pay for groceries.”
“How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods?”
“How does this help them pay for housing?”
“A sustained war with Iran will not stabilize the region.”
“It’s already ignited the region.”
“It will radicalize new generations of terrorists.”
“And it will send more swarms of refugees into Europe and the United States.”
“We’ve already expended billions of dollars and, more solemnly, six American families must now lay to rest their sons and daughters.”
“To the men and women who are engaged in combat, I sincerely thank you and I pray for your safety.”
“It is for you that I wrote this resolution.”
“It is for you that all of us are here on this floor working so hard to force this vote so that you will have a clear mission .. so that you will know when you achieve it, you can come home.”
@RepThomasMassie@MassieforKY
.@JDVance and @TulsiGabbard you both need to speak out against the war in Iran.
People are paying attention, very close attention. Silence won’t cut it.
You were both on record repeatedly, publicly, and loudly against going to war with Iran.
Our friend, Charlie Kirk was adamantly against war with Iran.
You cannot be silent.
Americans are dying.
You both know this is not what we campaigned for and this is 100% what we said would not happen.
We said, I said, you said:
NO MORE FOREIGN WARS AND NO MORE REGIME CHANGE.
All we wanted was America FIRST.
This is not it.
We’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East
That’s 100 X annual federal spending on roads and bridges
Picture how great our country could be if we’d spent that $ here
Imagine how affordable groceries & housing would be if we hadn’t printed all that $

Trump's State of the Union was nearly two hours of grievances and division that didn't lay out any path forward to address the challenges facing American families, starting with costs.
Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.
