The first amendment I offered in today’s vote-a-rama was to BLOCK Trump's MAGA slush fund forever.

With the whole country watching, Republicans chose to support this corrupt slush fund.

@Kaelan47 We all know that the violent people are like 1% of the people you’re targeting - and you are targeting the other 99% because you and your administration hate brown people. You paint them all with the same brush because then someone like me has to wrote 100 words to correct it.

The new show title will be "60 Minutes: All The News That Bari Weiss Agrees With".

The entire news ecology is being laid to waste by fascism.

This is open sharpening the tools of misogyny - out and out hatred of women.

Because he’s attempting to mock a man, by calling him a woman.

“Hah hah you’re a woman!”

Disgusting. Literally filled with disgust for this man and our sitting government.

Stephen Miller on James Talarico: I think it's very bold—one could say brave, courageous that the Democratic Party would choose Texas of all places to nominate their first transgender senate candidate who is clearly transitioning into a female.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The Trump administration has deported 21,000 immigrants to places that the US State Department calls too dangerous for Americans to visit. The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions, and at least 600 were children. https://t.co/VLmLiJQT8G

There has never been a war against protein in the United States.

There is currently a war against science, and it is being led by Kennedy, in his CDC and NIH, and by the President.

Here's why: Science is power.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

It's #NationalBurgerDay. The war on protein is over, and REAL American beef is back on the menu.

Does this company not have stockholders?

Breaking News: Bari Weiss, the editor in chief of CBS News, replaced the top producer of “60 Minutes” with Nick Bilton, a tech journalist and documentarian who has never worked in traditional broadcast news. https://t.co/R9qOq8uqOw

@cameron_arcand “Everything is swell.”

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

California has just about had enough of this.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Trump’s DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just announced that they are “drawing up plans” to block all international flights into blue cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

So Trump continues to pretend he’s embraced by the Black community.

When he’s not being embraced back.

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

Apparently you haven’t been listening to your guy talk to women reporters recently, piggy.

[Douglas Heye @DougHeye]

I'd fire whatever unprofessional staff did/approved this.

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

What I’m learning these days is that a really large fraction of my high school class did not do the assigned reading during the 20th century history and dystopian fiction modules.

Seriously - 1984 and Brave New World aren’t even very long.

"The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault" https://t.co/viL4RWVUOS

Gen Z, it’s time we talk.

Please stop replacing the mid-word “t” in “important” with a glottal stop.

No, I’m not telling you it’s wrong. I’m telling you it’s unmusical.

Thank you.

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

This!

We are all by default now being given Trump Administration propaganda and lies.

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

You all notice that Twitter always defaults to the “for you” tweets even if you choose “following”? Then you always end up with just rage bait maga garbage

@DookusRoyal @Kaelan47 Your guy:

I’ll believe Kelly over your guy any day.

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

I don't know exactly what's going on here - but this has the smell of a major scandal.

Because I'm guessing the CIA doesn't just parcel out $40M in gold bars to any old agent "for work related expenses" without cabinet-level approval.

If you're going to be an ignorant bigot, this is the way to do it.

Muhammad is a prophet of Islam. Like Moses is a prophet of Christianity.

The God of Islam is the same God of Christianity.

Also: Happy Eid, to all who celebrate!

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

We are one nation under God. Not one nation under Muhammad.

Sharia law has no place in America.

[Robert Rutledge @rerutled]

I'm wondering if Trump supporters are ever going to wise up and realize they've been had by a charlatan.
