Do I look angry? I hope so, because I’ve been furious over the wealthy, powerful free world's cowardice and complacency since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Western leaders still treat Ukrainian lives as less important than money, resulting in the waste of both.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

FOX BUSINESS: “My goodness. $5 BILLION. Eye-popping numbers… crypto-friendly legislation coming from the president who is in turn cashing in on crypto. A conflict of interest.”

Even Fox sees how insanely corrupt Trump’s crypto grift is.

This:

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Congress—and only Congress—passes budgets. Because the president's job is to take care the laws are faithfully executed, he must spend the money as directed. Trump's "pocket recissions” are lawless and absurd. If a president opposes legislative spending decisions, he can veto them, subject to override, but once passed, he must execute on them.

Wow. When I first read about this I assumed this was an anonymous letter. But turns out they had the courage to sign their names to it knowing the consequences of a highly vindictive Trump. Lots of respect. https://t.co/y2SWPIKHOs

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who agrees that if trump grants Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon AFTER she lies to clear his name, you'll be even MORE convinced of his guilt, no matter what she says.

You DON'T pardon pedophiles.

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump's immigration policy is inhumane. But it's also deeply corrupt.

Trump's super rich donors and friends are building and running these detention camps - and making massive profits off treating immigrants like animals.

If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

I just witnessed a man dragged onto this bus after a judge did not let him explain how deportation could be a death sentence for him.

What I saw today in San Antonio immigration courts was horrifying. Everyone's right to due process is under attack.

Susan Glasser: "If you told my 1990 self that the Congress was going to shut down, rather than have Republicans be forced to take a vote that they didn't want to take on releasing files about a dead sex trafficker who had been friends with the president of the United States."

[Republican Accountability @AccountableGOP]

Sen. Thom Tillis on Epstein: "Release the damn files. It makes no sense to me...The promise to release the file during the  campaign was either overplayed and we got a nothing burger or it's something really disturbing,..This is gonna be an issue all the way through next year."

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: House Oversight Dems just successfully voted in a subcommittee to subpoena the Epstein files. Three Republicans joined in support. The dam is breaking.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

All we’ve heard for 4 years is how Biden screwed up the Afghan withdrawal and betrayed our allies. Now Trump is truly betraying them and not a peep from all the heroes. Disgusting. — Afghans promised a home in U.S. may face repatriation — and the Taliban https://t.co/wHCATB9pNt
