Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
@Bubblebathgirl I’ve seen people with Mercedes living out of their car- working FT and paying $$$$+/mo for car payment…. Just because somebody’s car is nice does not mean that they don’t need food assistance. You don’t know their financial situation, the number of people in her household etc.
Mr. President @realdonaldtrump I understand why you are confused...all your time in DC you haven't eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel. I've lived here for 33 years, and it's a flat out lie that half the restaurants have closed because of safety...but restaurants will close because you have troops with guns and federal agents harassing people...making people afraid to go out.
Cities and towns and rural areas of America need policies that allow small business to thrive and all people including immigrants to live and work with dignity. People shouldn't be afraid of their government...government should have respect for its people, not terrorize them.
Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!
And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.
I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command.
We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.
Rescind the order. Return control to California.
Empathy is not weak or "woke." And, by the way, "woke" just means you give a damn about other people."

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: "The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...may I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away."
Republicans seem a lot more concerned to protect women on the Hill from the imaginary problem of being in a stall next to Rep. Sarah McBride, than to acknowledge and protect women from the very real depredations of men like Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
You cannot make this shit up. Four of adjudicated rapist Trump's cabinet picks have been accused of sexual assault: Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr. and Elon Musk. Never in American history has any president's cabinet picks been accused of sexal assault. Only Trump. 😳👇
For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024
