Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more.

What are we even doing here?

MAGA is now Iran first?

If anyone doesn’t know how the “real world” works, it’s Jon Husted.

Draft dodger is willing to sacrifice working class kids. How charitable of him.

Three historical lessons about bombing campaigns and regime change:

[Zach Stepp @ZachSteppOH]

Grateful for the real patriots patrolling the streets of MN to let us see, with our own eyes, the truth of what this administration is actually doing when it tries to tell us it’s “deporting violent criminals,” … just another desperate lie to keep its fragile coalition in tact.

[Zach Stepp @ZachSteppOH]

All of it — from extorting our allies to unleashing thuggish, untrained goons on the streets of peaceful American cities, is about using every accessible lever of the state to create an enduring majority of the public that are willing to go along or look the other way.

[Eoin Higgins @EoinHiggins_]

Doesn’t get much clearer than this

[Zach Stepp @ZachSteppOH]

They don’t care about the federal agents they put in harms way, they care even less about the communities those agents torment.

All they care about is controlling the narrative needed to preserve MAGA. They’re desperate to keep us divided and to prevent us from seeing the truth

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, Alex’s parents —

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

This is all so unnecessary. All of it. Everywhere.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

The Republican Party enables this every single day. Just the complete trashing of our country's standing and full capitulation to a playbook that the Kremlin couldn't script better if they were writing the words.

[Zach Stepp @ZachSteppOH]

Stunning how much has changed in 8 years, both personally and politically.

Excited to be in Chicago to see Democrats embrace a unifying vision for our future with @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz at the helm fighting for the people, for our freedoms, and for our future. #DNC2024

[Justin M. Bibb @JustinMBibb]

.@JoeFlacco for Mayor! Great win today by the Brownies!!! #VictoryMonday #GoBrowns

[Liz Skalka @lizskalka]

"First time here?" A Kaptur burn for the ages.

[City of Cleveland @CityofCleveland]

Today, Mayor Bibb kicked off City Hall’s 10-year strategic planning process. This work is foundational to modernizing city hall and the services it provides to residents.

We look forward to engaging staff across the city through a comprehensive survey starting next week.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

What I would say to this, with an eye towards not escalating, is that it’s up to voters if they want these maniacs to be in the majority.

“decided to wage war”

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I were saddened to learn about the passing of Bob Zimmer, the 13th President of the University of Chicago. 

Bob was a visionary leader and one the most influential university presidents in the country. During his time at the University of Chicago, he built upon its rigorous academic reputation, grew the university’s footprint around the world and throughout the South Side, and helped expand access through scholarships and financial aid.
