An educated society is necessary to sustain democracy. Choose £ov€. Kindness makes life worth living. Go Art! Go Science! Long Covid Spouse. Views are my own.

Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned.

The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.

Dear @netflix DO NOT DO THIS

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:

Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. 

Spread the word. Stand up for science.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired.

Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

He took America to war - killing 13 soldiers, thousands of Iranian civilians and costing taxpayers $60 billion - to get rid of Iran’s missile program.

And now that he’s lost the war, he pretends like it’s no big deal.

Just unforgivable. What a charlatan.

NEWSNATION: The Heritage Foundation has dug into this and they found a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of fraudulent voters over nearly 40 years of elections. Doesn't that tell you our elections are secure?

SEN. MARSHA BLACKBURN: I have not looked at the Heritage Foundation data

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.

JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?

ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.

JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?

ZELENSKYY: I love you.

JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?

ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.

JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?

ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.

And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.

JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?

ZELENSKYY: No.

JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?

ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The CDC just declared a national emergency for the screwworm spread. @repgabeevans @RepCiscomani you should be screaming about this threat potentially headed to your district's farms. Trump and DOGE brought this on your agriculture industries.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

This is not sustainable.

Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.

We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

When Roe was overturned, a 15-year-old in my district called me and said, "I thought this was a right."

That call has stayed with me ever since.

Our daughters deserve more freedom, not less. We are not going back.

[tern @1goodtern]

Articles seem to be completely pointless on here, but I'm trying it again.

No one sees them, no one reads them.

What's the point?

[Wendy Cabrera @lehmancabrera]

@1goodtern Thank you,Tern. You’ve captured how overwhelming long COVID can be.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

[Ed Elson @edels0n]

I read all 277 pages of SpaceX's IPO filing so you don't have to.

Losses up 700%. Revenue decelerating. 107x price-to-sales multiple.

It's a trainwreck. Full breakdown below 👇

The Senate sold it to a conglomerate owned by Chileans with family and $ ties to the Pinochet regime.

Hey.
This is a cause close to my heart.

If you can follow and reshare and stuff, I'd really appreciate it.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the DHS Inspector General just opened an audit into a $38 billion warehouse-to-detention scheme that Kristi Noem and her top adviser Corey Lewandowski rammed through.

ICE bought 11 vacant warehouses in a matter of months, paying 11 to 13 percent above market value.

The properties weren’t even zoned for detention. No working plumbing for thousands of detainees. But Noem and Lewandowski pressured ICE to open them by year’s end anyway.

The result? At least $1 billion already spent on nine facilities. Nearly 50 contractors paid $1.7 billion since Trump took office.

Companies with zero immigration detention experience suddenly winning massive federal contracts.

One firm that didn’t even exist until June 2024 got a $6 million DHS contract this January.

Noem is gone.

Lewandowski is gone.

But the bill is still landing on the taxpayer, and the IG investigation is just getting started.

Accountability cannot end when the perpetrators walk out the door.

Every contract needs scrutiny.

Every dollar needs to be traced.

Every official who steered money to inexperienced contractors needs to answer under oath.

Every GOP member of Congress should be asked by the press whether they agree Trump can use $1.7b that we, the taxpayers, paid so gov’t could work for us, as reward money to his supporters.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Corruption at the highest level.

The same kind of corruption Trump said he’d fight against.

Total betrayal.
