People must be more comfortable saying that if you still support Trump for president today, you are not a good person and you do not wish good things for our country and fellow citizens. Theres no reason to pretend Trump represents a valid or legitimate choice.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Let me tell you about my visit to the Hanwha Philly Shipyard.

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

Why? This is so stupid.

[jae holzman @jaeporeon]

more than half of registered voters when asked back a national AI data center moratorium (via @heatmap_news)

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

@MilesSm03562554 That’s not what the polling data shows. Republican support for Ukraine Aid is tepid at best. https://t.co/rHriFX2Kn2

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

I would like to again point out that support for Ukraine is a partisan issue and the best way to get the U.S. to support Ukraine is to elect more Democrats.

[Rep. Clay Higgins @RepClayHiggins]

Unbelievable. 19 Republicans just voted with all Democrats to send more money to Ukraine…

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The ongoing destruction of science by this administration will set back humanity by generations.

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

It sure seems to me that the scale of corruption happening in the Trump administration right now has not broken through to the public at all yet.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

@MilesSm03562554 I don't know––194 Republicans voted against this and only 18 for it. And a few of those 18 are out at the end of the year.

[Oz Katerji @OzKaterji]

The US hard left want to point to a 19 year old Azov soldier with a neo-Nazi patch on his uniform and condemn an entire country to destruction in response, then look at a 41 year old ex-Blackwater mercenary with a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest and elect him into high office.

The Graham Platner stories aren’t going to stop. You think a guy who does this shit doesn’t have more in the closet? And, well, you can’t ask him because he’ll lie to your face.

And if you think Republicans are unloading their entire clip in JUNE you are naïve and stupid.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

There are no checks and balances. Even after the fake harrumph about the blatantly illegal president slush fund, the senate kept it in. And also a blank 70 billion dollar check to an unrestrained militarized immigration scam complex.
There are no checks and balances. None

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

Why are Lefties so insistent that the rich kid who got a Nazi tattoo, joined Blackwater to fight in the Middle East, and used to date a Republican activist is a “progressive” just because some DC consultants cooked up some policy lines they like? There’s nothing authentic here!

[Blake Allen @Blake_Allen13]

204 House Republicans voted today to protect Vladimir Putin. 204 Republicans voted to allow his corrupt regime to avoid sanctions. They’ll get a chance tomorrow to fix their errors but they’re all on the wrong side of history. I hope voters keep this in mind come November

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

Instead of exercising their constitutional oversight and appropriations duties, Congress is enabling illegal and immoral acts by the executive branch.

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

Something underreported: In their reconciliation bill, Republicans are forgoing the normal oversight and restrictions on ICE/CBP funding.

For instance, normally there’s a prohibition on shackling pregnant women. But not for this new money they’re providing. (1/3)

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

We must face the reality that the Supreme Court has been captured by partisan hacks and ideological extremists.

The attacks on state capacity are coming home to roost

[george @idobadtakes]

One of the main issues with American political media is that a bunch of random losers get called 'the Democratic Party' and 'the public health establishment'

Whereas the most popular news channel isn't really 'the media' and literal Senators are treated like random little guys

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

So much of the GOP's anti-science crusade is just stupid people attacking things they don't understand. Honestly reminds me of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

The study is transgenic mice (altered DNA) - not transgender - which were used to study cancer, asthma, & other health risks.

These people must've searched for "trans" and not bothered to read the actual studies.

Wait until they learn about the "transcontinental railroad."

[William Melvin @willmelvin]

This was always more of an expensive show than an earnest effort at increasing public safety. If that was the real concern, they would have hired actual police and it would have been far cheaper in the long run.

[Andrew Buncombe @AndrewBuncombe]

Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard’s troops to Washington DC had no ‘measurable effect’ on violent crime, says independent study @MilitaryTimes @NiskanenCenter https://t.co/XlOnImWrsW

[daeveningglow @InlandCaGuy]

I think one of the worst instances I've ever seen of centrists who are usually smart being stupid was declaring this policy a success after a month of crime dropping as part of an ongoing downward trend that was also happening at the same rate in other cities.
