These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬

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

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.

What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.

And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.

Ben Meiselas on mass protests erupting in Albania over Jared and Ivanka's luxury resort: "This is what the Epstein class is up to. While the American people are suffering, the Trump regime, through their nepo babies and through all of their pillaging of our country, are pillaging the rest of the world."

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

A message to all sane Republicans:

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA morons, who spent years howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran.

Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.

Brilliant!

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?

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

He raped her, she won in court, and his response is to terrorize her. Because he is a rapist.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

When I paid $200 for 3 bags of groceries today, I thought to myself, “I’m sure glad they’re having a UFC fight on the White House lawn”

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

So let me get this straight… Trump gets found liable by juries TWICE, owes E. Jean Carroll millions, then his DOJ launches a CRIMINAL probe into HER? That’s not justice. That’s revenge wearing a government badge.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books.

We need more of this from our electeds.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes.

This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

DISGRACEFUL: ICE agents tear-gassed U.S. Senator Andy Kim at Delaney Hall detention facility in NJ today!

Kim was supporting hunger-striking detainees protesting spoiled food, no medical care & extreme heat when federal agents unleashed tear gas & pepper spray. Kim struggled to breathe & injured his hand in the chaos.

[Jenni @hashjenni]

Imagine having this many gun incidents near the President (staged or not), and believing a $1 billion ballroom is the solution instead of gun regulation and mental health programs.

[Joe G @EastEndJoe]

The difference between CLASS and TRASH!

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

A WWII veteran returns to Utah Beach, the Normandy shore where D-Day unfolded. This Memorial Day, we remember the Americans who never came home, the heroes who gave everything so we could be free.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Facts are annoying to Republicans.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons:

1) stay out of jail
2) exact revenge on his enemies
3) line his pockets

Everything else he says is bullshit.
