We shouldn’t just care about factory farming because of the cruelty to helpless animals.

We should also care because of what it does to our water and public health.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Cancer rates in Iowa are rising faster than anywhere else in the country.

Politicians blame individual choices, but the real villain is the industrial farming covering the state.

We went, tested the water, and found cancer causing levels of chemicals running through Iowa.

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

Do you get it yet?

All the billionaires have private islands, compounds, bunkers and escape plans.

Do you really think they intend to stay here and live with the consequences of the policies they are supporting for another country?

Do you think they’ll be the ones struggling with medical bills, inflation, or sending their children off to war?

The people with the most power have the easiest exits once America is entirely gutted.

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

Trump promised a golden age for America. He meant for him.

The persistent, unbridled corruption…he’s getting richer while Americans at bottom
2/3 are struggling and many getting poorer.

Will **any** republicans join us to hold him accountable?

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Feb. 10: Trump portfolio buys between $1 million and $5 million in stock in Dell.

Feb. 19: Trump at rally encourages supporters to "buy a Dell computer."

May 27: Pentagon awards $9.7 billion contract to Dell.

The result of decades of complete Republican control of Texas government. 👇🏽

These veterans fought for our republic, for democratic values that we’ve treasured for generations.

@SenatorCollins betrayed their sacrifice through her support of a president and SCOTUS nominees who stripped away our rights, engaged in corruption and dismantled our government.

[Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins]

Today, we welcomed home more than 60 Maine veterans in Bangor as they returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., organized by Honor Flight Maine.

These veterans visited the memorials built in our nation’s capital to pay tribute to their service. It was deeply moving to join their families and friends in showing them the gratitude and respect they have earned, and to remind them that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

Ooooh. Ok! I thought we were paying more for gas, utilities and groceries because of the terrible economic policies pushed through by Trump and his Republicans in Congress! You know..cause/effect?

All along the real culprit has been our “optimism”! 🙄

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Hassett: "People are spending more on gas, but they're also spending more on everything else -- not just groceries, but restaurants and so on. I think that's a sign you see when people are optimistic about the future."

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

.@NormEisen is a national treasure

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

In one week, my colleagues & I had two of our biggest victories yet

Trump’s name, ordered off the Kennedy Center

& His $1.8B fund back under investigation

Both made possible by Contrarians like you

Please urge your member of congress to join me in my work for a national ban on the horrific practice @NickKristof outlined here. My bill is called the PIGS Act of 2025 and would nullify this provision if it makes past the Senate.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

No money for healthcare or nutrition programs for hard working Americans.

But hundreds of millions of our tax dollars for Don Jr.

[ProPublica @propublica]

When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.

We found that the request came directly from the White House.

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

Pretty on-brand for republicans.

Most voters want to know how candidates will reverse the damaging, inflationary Trump economy that is making gas, utilities, groceries and life more expensive and how they will create fairness in a system that rewards billionaires and tax cheats

[Acyn @Acyn]

Watters: I have questions I want reporters to ask low T Talarico:

Do you own a gun? Are you a Cowboys fan? Does he know the Spurs are playing tonight? Does he own a truck? Does he believe in premarital sex? Does he wear women’s underwear?

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

No money for healthcare or nutrition programs, but millions for gold leaf on statues.

[Anna Kramer @anna_c_kramer]

SCOOP: Trump admin is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf.

The money for the rush job is coming from National Park Service. In total, I found ~$100 mil spent on new DC beautification projects

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

NEW AD: Meet Ken Paxton — the most corrupt politician in America.

He’s gotten away with it for years.

That ends this November.

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

Back from…?

The country is under complete Republican/MAGA control - the House, Senate and White House.

And Texas — under Republican control for decades.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Brandon Gill (R-TX): We are finally going to take our country back…

Bill Clinton has a random run-in with Loretta Lynch at an airport in 2016 - MASSIVE, WEEKS LONG SCANDAL
JD Vance attends a private dinner with Chief Justice Roberts while the Court considers multiple Trump Admin lawsuits - "social call" ... "friendly pop-by"

@azsweetheart013 Sending love 💗

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

So proud to support @johnnygarciatx. Please support our great candidate!

[Johnny Garcia For Congress @johnnygarciatx]

I’m proud to earn the endorsement of @vgescobar! She has been a strong leader for El Paso, representing our values in Congress.

I look forward to serving alongside her so we can fight for the working families of Texas in DC.

[Veronica Escobar @vgescobar]

What if we actually appropriately taxed the billionaires? Excellent thread 👇🏽

[David S. Mitchell @dsmitch28]

Jeff Bezos says doubling his taxes won't help anyone. But let's talk about what the evidence actually shows. 🧵
