@kylegriffin1 Good. Now it’s our turn.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Today, Sec. Mullin conceded that DHS has made numerous false statements.

That’s why independent investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, & all victims of DHS's violence are necessary.

But he won't give states access to critical evidence.

What is DHS hiding?

Being a hedge fund billionaire landlord who rents out farmland doesn't make you a farmer. It makes you part of the problem!

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

I get a kick out of the idea of Scott Bessent going to farmers and saying "I'm just like you!"

[Acyn @Acyn]

Smith: How do you respond to Minnesota farmers who cannot afford the fertilizer they need? 

Bessent: The definition of a farmer is someone who owns a farm and farmed the land so as a former farmer I will tell you…. There is no doubt farmers have been struggling but there was a record crop last year and what to record crops lead to? Lower prices. 

Smith: I will take that back to my producers in Minnesota, that they have somebody in this department of treasury, a former farmer, who is feeling their pain.

@TaraCopp Why is an insurrectionist rioter handling counterterrorism while we’re at war? Or at all?

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Why is a domestic terrorist responsible for COUNTERTERRORISM?!

They haven’t given up on this… they just want us to stop talking about it because it’s so flagrantly corrupt

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

When the leader of the Proud Boys says Trump will keep trying to get his slush fund… we should take him at his word!

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

What a joke – or at least it would be if this wasn’t such a serious job. Absolutely zero credibility.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Pulte only got the job because he’s clearly willing to pursue baseless retribution against Trump’s perceived political enemies (see below)

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING:

Trump just appointed Bill Pulte, the man who tried to take down Letitia James and Lisa Cook with bogus mortgage fraud claims, to be acting Director of National Intelligence.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.

We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Two weeks ago, I told Todd Blanche, his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund was a pure theft of taxpayer dollars.

That reality seems to be catching up with them.

While they may be signaling an end to their corrupt scheme, we can't stop pushing until it's outlawed all together.

Are you worried about oil prices—

PRESIDENT TRUMP
No

EAMON JAVERS
Given the apparent breakdown of negotiations? No?

PRESIDENT TRUMP
No, I don’t worry about that, no. https://t.co/Uup95fUp3l

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump's war with Iran has cost American households $100 billion — so far.

That’s nearly $750 per household.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Interesting… said in the most Minnesota way possible.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

So we’re supposed to believe the guy who wants his face on a $250 bill suddenly is just going to drop his demand for a slush fund?
