I’LL SAY IT AGAIN:
If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.
Mitch McConnell is executing the rare feat of both living *and* dying corruptly. I don't say that lightly; the handling of his health—as with the handling of the health of Donald Trump—has been grotesquely deceitful and contemptuous of the American people. https://t.co/EzpVlf9nNx
Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!
Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.
And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.
Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.
Had an amazing tour of the set for Oscar-winning director Ang Lee's upcoming film, Gold Mountain.
Thanks to our expanded @FilmCalifornia Tax Credit, more projects can be filmed right here in California, turbocharging our status as entertainment capital of the world.
This is huge: Senator Raphael Warnock helped block Donald Trump’s administration from moving forward with a massive 10,000-person ICE detention center in Social Circle, Georgia.
Family, @AmyMcGrathKY has endorsed our campaign for U.S. Senate!
Over the years, we have stood across from each other as opponents. Today, I am proud to share that we are standing unified in the mission to replace Mitch McConnell and defeat his spawn in Andy Barr.
Amy has dedicated her life to serving our country, and she knows just how critical it is that we all come together right now. This powerful endorsement is further proof that our historic coalition is ready to win.
Together, let’s flip this seat!
Donald Trump doesn’t fix shit, he destroys.
He destroys everything he touches.
The East wing.
The Oval.
The Rose Garden.
The South Lawn.
The Reflecting Pool.
The Kennedy Center.
The World Cup.
Our 250th birthday.
Democracy itself.
He’s incapable of building, so he bulldozes.
JB Pritzker: “The White House is intentionally breaking our American system of government so they can rebuild it in their own image. They’re taking food and medicine away from families in poverty. They’ve shut down cancer research and HIV prevention. They’ve eliminated drinking water and clean air regulations and upended the lives o veterans. They’ve deported Black and brown people while they’re giving expedited immigration visas to white South Africans”
BREAKING: Disturbing new allegations accuse Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell’s health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump’s enemy Thomas Massie in the Senate!
This seems INCREDIBLY shady…
Independent journalist Desirée Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity:
“Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.”
“The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?”
These are important questions that we NEED answers for.
Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public in over three weeks, nor have we had any update on his health after he suffered cardiac arrest, was given CPR, and then hospitalized.
Curiously, his wife Elaine Chao, who is not a government official, suddenly flew to China just three days after the incident – meaning that the person with power of attorney over his affairs is out of the country, meaning there is nobody to declare him brain-dead if he is indeed in a coma or otherwise mentally unfit to do his job, which it was unclear that he was capable of doing before.
Is she hiding in China to keep him alive as a vegetable?
In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election, and that date is August 3rd.
If a special election was called, Trump’s vocal critic Thomas Massie would certainly run and likely win – which would be a HUGE headache for Trump and his agenda. If he didn’t win, he would split the vote, allowing a Democrat like Charles Booker to fill the seat.
That’s why they’re trying to conceal his condition as long as possible.
Either way, this is absolutely unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is the chair of the important Senate Rules Committee.
We cannot allow Republicans to just lie to the American people and treat their jobs like its a position they OWN, especially when so much is at stake and one vote could change history forever.
Republicans need to tell us what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, ASAP.
Whoever becomes the new nominee should never let Maine voters forget that Susan Collins voted to put someone on the Supreme Court with an endless series of credible sexual assault allegations just as bad as ANYTHING that Platner is accused of. Such a sick fucking joke.
When I’m governor, I’m going to put $1500 in your pocket.
Greg Abbott has been hoarding billions in taxpayer dollars, and at a time when Texans are struggling to afford the basics, I’m going to put that money where it belongs: with Texans.
Swalwell and Platner were credibly accused of being rapists and Democrats handed them their walking papers.
Donald Trump IS an adjudicated rapist and Republicans handed him the White House.
Any questions?
My name is Charles Booker, and I am the Democratic nominee running to flip Kentucky in the U.S. Senate.
2026 is the year we take back our seat, together.
Literally every military person in the room has turned their back on their Commander-in-Chief.
Trump looks confused that nobody is paying any attention to him.
People are losing respect for him daily! Bravo, I salute them! 🫡
