@AP I’m so confused by their rulings. One minute their defending state sovereignty the next their shitting on it. What a bunch of paid Heritage Foundation stooges. Worst Supreme Court since slavery.

Mike Pence said the Trump administration has “departed” from conservative principles and calls the DOJ’s “anti-weaponization” fund “deeply offensive.” https://t.co/faHy3daTJM

@NBCNews He's pardoning frauds that stole millions & this is what we're spending time & money on. We are not a serious country.

BREAKING: CNN reports Trump’s White House ballroom and renovation projects are now facing scrutiny over massive costs, inflated profit margins, and no-bid contracts.

According to reporting, one renovation project tied to the White House reflecting pool ballooned to $13.1 million; roughly seven times higher than Trump initially estimated, while investigators say the contractor received unusually high profit margins.

And now, while inflation hits a three-year high and Americans struggle with rent, groceries, and gas…

Why does Washington suddenly have unlimited money for spectacle?

Abraham Lincoln got shot in the head and still managed to keep the country together. Franklin Roosevelt ran the entire Second World War from a wheelchair. Eisenhower defeated Hitler and then, just to stay busy, built 48,000 miles of motorway. Kennedy looked at the moon, said “we’ll have that,” and inside a decade they did. Reagan stared down the Soviet Union until it simply gave up and went home.

Two hundred and fifty years. Forty-six men. Men who stormed beaches, split atoms, faced down nuclear annihilation over breakfast and then filed sensible paperwork about it afterward.

And then, after all of that, the entire accumulated weight of American history, the most consequential democratic experiment the world has ever seen, produced this.

A television review.

No Mars landing. No cure for cancer. No Soviet empire dissolved before lunch. Just a man in the White House, in the year 2026, informing the internet that a CBS chat show host had no talent.

That is what 250 years of American greatness built. America should be deeply, permanently ashamed of itself.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Stop pretending this is about cracking down on fraud when Trump literally let people who stole hundreds of millions in Medicare and Medicaid money walk free. One guy stole $1.3 billion and served 14 months of a 20-year sentence. When a reporter asked the DOJ about it, they refused to answer.

That’s the hypocrisy people are angry about. Republicans want to talk tough on fraud while protecting the biggest fraudsters when they’re politically connected. If fraud is wrong, then it should be wrong for everyone.

Idgaf if you hated this guy or watched him religiously, any show getting canceled by a President is Anti American

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims?

Am I getting this right?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here's how the corruption works:

Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump

Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it

Friday: FDA changes the policy

The January 6th defendants were almost exclusively convicted in court on the videos THEY THEMSELVES SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA. If Republicans allow Trump to pay them with a slush fund this is no longer a country of laws, it's a kleptocracy.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

We cannot stress this enough:

Republicans want to reward these thugs with YOUR tax dollars.

RFK Jr claims a flu shot damaged his vocal cords, a side effect which has never happened to anyone else. The flu shot also caused him to cheat on his wife, shoot heroin, drink heavily and make this face:

Ohio's sales tax exemption for builders of new data centers was expected to cost ~$136 million in 2025.

The Department of Taxation now says the tax break cost Ohio **$1.57** billion in lost revenue, with most the savings flowing to Big Tech. https://t.co/3vjZxlg0iZ

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

More than 140 officers were injured defending the Capitol on January 6th.

They waited six years for the plaque in their honor to be hung in the Capitol.

They watched as Donald Trump pardoned every single one of their assailants.

Some of them can no longer work and cannot even get disability benefits.

But Donald Trump has set aside nearly $2 BILLION of your taxpayer money to pay the criminals who assaulted them.

It’s a punch in the face to every police officer in this country who puts his or her life on the line to protect us.

I support Officers Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn in their lawsuit to stop this outrageous scheme.

Dolly Parton is a rich woman, but instead of obsessing about building a golden ballroom, she has made more than 300 million books accessible to children.

Be more like Dolly.

[Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh]

I had the privilege of attending the annual Flags of Honor ceremony in Ironton yesterday, where we paid tribute to the 372 brave soldiers from Lawrence County who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, we honor and remember the Ohioans who have sacrificed everything for our country.
