[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Allow me to explain what's happening here.

The biggest bipartisan housing bill in 30 years is about to become law without any help from Donald Trump, who ran on lowering costs for the middle class, because he's mad Congress wouldn't help him suppress the will of voters.

Can't imagine a worse hill to die on.

@GlitchedDeals Let’s gooo! $24 hat for $4.24

The White House's "Freedom Fuel" gas station was quietly a Sunoco until they rebranded it for a July 3 photo op. Street View shows the same station selling gas for $2.99 in November 2024 — before Trump took office. Now the White House is calling $3.47 a win. https://t.co/YeqdcsEI8U

[the thicc husband & father @lukeisamazing]

haven’t seen America this thoroughly embarrassed on the world stage since we lost that war we started with Iran like 3 weeks ago

[Sleeper @SleeperHQ]

Bruh we got Leonard Fournette scoring on us what is going on

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Trump is personally responsible for 28% of the national deficit of a 250 year old country.

Let that sink in.

We should all be embarrassed.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

Imagine if Obama was directly connected to Epstein, made $2 billion off crypto scams, grifted a $400 million plane form Arab Royals, and started and lost a war with Iran.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[Glenn Tunes @glenn_tunes]

I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO STOP FRAUD 🙄 STRANGE 🤷

[Kyle Blomquist for U.S. Congress @BlomquistForMI]

What a photo.

Saline Township did everything in their power to stop this data center. Then the wealthy developer threatened to bankrupt the township in litigation, ultimately forcing this upon the community.

Now their conquest will be rewarded with tax breaks.

[Shawn Ryan @ShawnRyan762]

$32 million dollars and an entire administration mobilized to destroy one congressman.
His crime?
Demanding answers about Epstein class abuse networks, and refusing to let child predators hide behind political cover.
If that level of firepower doesn't tell you who's being protected, nothing will.
Go Massie!

[Covie @covie_93]

The fact that Thomas Massie is fighting for his political life in a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice is not a good look for the Republican party.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

A 2021 White House study found the top 400 families paid an average federal tax rate of just 8.2%.

[DJ Branham 🗽 @DJBranham]

This is terrible. This money could be used for Israel or corporate subsidies.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Elon Musk, the richest man alive worth $800 billion, owns 53% of the pie.

The top 1% own 93% of the pie.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%.

Bake 10 more pies and the 1% will steal 9 of them.

4 words: Tax the damn rich.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Deranged, unhinged, and criminal.

[Rich Raho @RichRaho]

Casting this war along the lines of Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection is not only at the depths of blasphemy, but morally repugnant.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

I’ve been in Congress through divided governments, bitter fights, and historic crises. I’ve never seen anything like the last 24 hours.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson killed Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s bipartisan deal to fund the TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA. 

It was a deal that had the support of Senate Republicans and Democrats alike, 100-0!

Why?

Because Johnson places his own political survival and fealty to Trump over all else, including long waits at airports or anything else.

We could have passed it in the House easily if only Johnson had allowed the vote to proceed. But instead he blew up the whole thing.

Where this goes next is anyone’s guess, but what’s very clear is that Johnson is the worst and most subservient speaker in modern American history.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Joe Scarborough on the Republican shutdown: “You want to run Venezuela, but you can’t run Laguardia? You want to change governments in Iran, but you can’t even make Houston’s airport work? You want to take over Greenland, and yet you can’t even make Atlanta Hartsfield function?”

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

We're paying to shut down renewable energy projects when Trump's war on Iran is showing us how costly it is to be totally reliant on fossil fuels.

We should be diversifying our energy to increase energy security and affordability, not paying companies to walk away from them.
