It’s been 446 days since Pete Ricketts’s last town hall.

I've done 7 in the last 8 days.

We found the Voter FRAUD!!!

[Ansley Skipper @AnsleySkipper]

Got to go to Des Moines with @Timodc for this fantastic conversation with @PeteButtigieg. Listen or watch for hilarious kids stories, righteous indignation, Pete's pitch to Trump voters, and big democracy ideas. The kind of discussion only these two could have — but I’m biased.

Fmr Spokesperson for Sen. Olympia Snowe: Maine @SenSusanCollins is the Chair of @AppropsGOP - which controls #ICE Budget. She could hold them accountable right now. She could demand transparency & oversight in exchange for their $$$.

Why isn't she doing that?

I’m voting yes for the Massie Amendment to prevent $3.3 billion in foreign military aid for Israel.

We cannot continue to condone Netanyahu’s actions that are against our moral conscience and our own national security interests by perpetuating the status quo.

WHITEHOUSE: How long do you intend to put up with that Kash Patel character? Are you good with his airplane jaunts, are you confident he's not drinking on the job, are you sure none of his travel is a pretext for vacation activities, like visiting girlfriends? Are you sure he knows what he's doing?

BLANCHE: That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question. I have full faith in Director Patel

WHITEHOUSE: Great. You get to own that.

After the shootings in Maine and Texas, the Democratic Party needs to be united and clear: abolish ICE.

A fed. judge referred acting AG Blanche for bar discipline over Trump's phony tax leak lawsuit—huge win by @DDAction_ , Platkin LLP & Susman Godfrey LLP

She punctured the $1.8B heist as illegitimate & unlawful

Blanche wanted a hearing—now he's got one hell of an exhibit A 👇-TN

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

More people should ask Republicans why they’re not humiliated by their need to debase themselves like this to stay in Trump’s good graces.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Just so we’re absolutely clear on this, Donald Trump does not believe that he won the 2020 election. This is a lie no one should accept. It makes it all the more pernicious.

Good for @WhipKClark

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

There it is.

Todd Blanche is Donald Trump’s lawyer—not YOURS.

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

There has never been a nominee for attorney general as ethically compromised as Todd Blanche

Political vendettas @ DOJ, stonewalling on Epstein & a court rebuking his $1.8 billion protection scheme for Trump

Our full @DDAction_ statement—the Senate should reject this nom.👇-TN

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just announced that he raised an enormous $20 million in quarter 2. Ossoff has gone from hunted to hunter. Let's go.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CLEAR: NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. I strongly support this amendment.

Israel, like any other country, had the right to defend itself against the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people. But it did not have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian population. It did not have the right to kill more than 73,000 Palestinians and wound over 173,000 more — the vast majority of them women, children and the elderly. It did not have the right to destroy virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza — the schools, the health facilities, the water systems, wastewater plants, the electric grid that a civilian population depends on to survive. It did not have the right to destroy or damage 92% of all housing units in Gaza. In other words, Israel did not have the right to commit genocide. And it did not have the right to escalate its violence and annexation of the West Bank while the world's attention was focused elsewhere.

Tragically, almost five months ago, Israel, with strong support from the Trump administration, launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran — a war that has killed thousands of people and left an already unstable region of the world even more unstable. That war expanded into Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have now killed more than 4,000 people and displaced some 20% of the entire Lebanese population. That is not "defending Israel". These are regional wars of expansion and terror, waged without a clear strategy, and without an end in sight.

The American people are catching on. Polls show that nearly three-quarters of Democratic voters now oppose sending military aid to Israel, as do more than one-third of Republican voters. Just 16% of all Americans support giving Israel unconditional aid.

And I am proud that this past April, 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats — a record number — supported my bill to block arms sales to the far-right, extremist Netanyahu government.

We have enormous unmet needs in our own country. Today, while 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, tens of millions of Americans cannot afford housing, healthcare, childcare and other basic needs. Congress must focus on the needs of their constituents, not an Israeli government that is undermining American values. I urge my colleagues in the House to vote yes on the Massie amendment.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Teenage twins, Angely and Alexka, were kidnapped by ICE and are now in a detention center in El Paso.

I’m urging for their immediate release, alongside state and local elected officials, their teachers, and a pastor at their church. We all want them home.

Release them NOW.

Sen. @Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

DNI nominee Jay Clayton: I'm not going to do this with you

Ossoff: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee.

Clayton: I'm not gonna get into that with you

Ossoff: You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the president's delusions?
