Adam Kinzinger is 💯 correct! Trump started this war which cost taxpayers $1-2 billion per day. The U.S. got nothing out of this deal other than escalating prices, making Iran stronger & now charging a maintenance fee for ships. The Strait of Hormuz was already open. 😡

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

So, Trump is gonna give Iran $300 billion to open a strait that wasn’t closed, so long as they promise not build a nuke they didn’t have?

Do I have that just about right?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump again claims victory in Iran. He’s claimed victory before, but now he has a so-called “agreement” with Iran.

It looks like a terrible failure. Let me break it all down for you. 👇

People across the country are struggling with higher costs while the White House is being used to promote a UFC event and Trump's crypto coin.

Completely misplaced priorities when Americans need leaders focused on lowering costs and getting things done.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

[ProPublica @propublica]

When her son was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill.

Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues.

Insanity.

We have this, but kids cancer research was deemed wasteful spending.

[League of Women Voters of Williamsburg Virginia @lwv_wa]

The Constitution is clear: the states and Congress—not the president—set the rules for our elections. The Trump administration executive order concerning mail-in voting is interfering with plaintiffs' essential work helping American citizens vote. We are one of those plaintiffs.

Corpus Christi’s delayed water response bubbles up to Texas governor’s race https://t.co/2MwbzOCUhS

[ProPublica @propublica]

After ProPublica contacted Dr. Joseph Mercola for an article on babies dying after parents turned down vitamin K shots, he publicly reversed his long-held stance that the shots weren't needed.

“The data is clear: vitamin K saves lives,” he wrote.

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

Trump has lied about a potential Iran deal over 38 times.

38 lies, 100+ days, and $29 BILLION in taxpayer dollars later... there is still no deal, no strategy, and no end in sight to this illegal war.

[Kalí Rourke @KaliRourke]

Is ANYONE surprised?

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. https://t.co/jUtLu4cTaz

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Your electric bill keeps climbing, all while Trump blocks clean energy projects we need to meet demand. And you're always the one left holding the bill. That needs to change.

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

In his U.S. Senate race, Democrat James Talarico said his Republican competitor Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gave a lenient plea deal in a child sex abuse case. After a mistrial, prosecutors in Paxton’s office offered a misdemeanor plea deal.

A little preview of Independence Day.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: President Trump’s name is off the Kennedy Center.

The building’s exterior reads “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts” once more. https://t.co/3B3sArJI5u

[Rep. Vikki Goodwin @VikkiGoodwinTX]

Texas ranchers are under attack from the new world screwworm and Dan Patrick spent the last legislative session focused on where people should use the bathroom rather than protecting ranchers’ livelihoods. Every Texan will pay the price at the grocery store. It’s time for change! Stand with us at https://t.co/kr8y3meLtX and vote this November. #Goodwin4Texas

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power.

We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Property taxes have gone up 75% under Greg Abbott, but schools are in crisis.

As Governor, I will wipe clean Abbott’s corrupt vendor contracts and put that money back in the classroom.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick says James Talarico is “going to Hell”:

“I’ve never seen so much blasphemy from anyone running for office… He’s going to Hell, for sure.”
