Today at the White House, Speaker McCarthy refused to take default off the table.

President Biden said he would.
Leader Jeffries said he would.
I said I would.

But Speaker McCarthy instead gave us a plan to take default hostage.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

If we defaulted on our debt, the middle class would hurt.

8 million jobs lost.
Social Security and Medicare payments could be halted or delayed.
Retirement accounts would be hit.
Costs would go up.

It's time to end the gamesmanship and get to work. America pays its bills.

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who has vowed to do everything she can to keep Donald Trump from returning to the White House, launched a television ad Tuesday warning viewers that the former president “is a risk America can never take again.” https://t.co/xgxDbg4BUC

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

If anyone wonders what the biggest problem for avoiding default right now is:

It is Speaker McCarthy insisting he’ll exploit default to push a hard right agenda.

Speaker McCarthy: Take the needless threat of default off the table.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Donald Trump has proven he is unfit for office. He is a risk America can never take again.

BREAKING: Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman blasts Twitter CEO Elon Musk for inviting fired FOX News host Tucker Carlson to host his new show on Twitter, declares that Musk is now America’s “most ardent promoter of hate and division.”

But he didn’t stop there…

He also called Musk out for being a “fringe, conspiracy spinning agent of chaos and peddler of disinformation.”

Alexander Vindman is right. The last thing that our democracy needs is Tucker Carlson’s anti-American Russian propaganda being promoted and spread on Twitter.

Please RT and ❤️ to expose Elon Musk — and consider joining https://t.co/3VM3MqTSy0, a new pro-democracy Twitter competitor I created that Musk is trying to bury. He banned Tribel’s Twitter account last week — but he has yet to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A

"I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain," - @Liz_Cheney

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Reminder: Under the previous president, Republicans voted to increase the debt limit three times.

Three times.

You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.

@onepeloton when will I-watch & peloton outdoors work together again? Last worked April 27.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I proposed a minimum billionaire tax because no billionaire should be paying a lower tax rate than a school teacher or a firefighter.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Every candidate for federal office should have their tax returns automatically released. Then we wouldn’t have had to spend so long chasing down Donald Trump’s.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Republicans elected a pathological-liar President. Trump lied about everything: bone spurs, net-worth, taxes, crowd-size….

Not sure why anybody is surprised Republicans now elected a pathological-liar Congressman.

The standards could not be lower.

[Pamela Oliver @pamelapo]

@UPS do you now just throw packages in a yard instead of delivering to the house?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Nearly 80% of Americans support banning members of Congress from buying and selling individual stocks.

I've got a bipartisan bill for that and it's time to get it done.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

This is straight up racism.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

I suspect there’s other people like me who hate to give that deplorable human dumpster more attention and relevance.

But you’re right, @SarahKSilverman. We must condemn and confront antisemitism every single time.

[Pamela Oliver @pamelapo]

Disgusting listening to MASN broadcast of Duke Uva game. Comparing plays with Hurricane Ian. So inappropriate.

[Al Gore Won Florida in 2000 @gore_won]

When you see Republicans Trashing helping people with student loan debt, REMEMBER that they GAVE 2 TRILLION in Tax Forgiveness to 600 Billionaires, that WE are paying for.
