In case anyone was wondering… Yeah. Every bit of that was classified information. Gabbard lied. I’m shocked

Meanwhile, here on planet Earth, POTUS has no authority to void a presidential pardon. Pardons are final and legally binding once issued. His base will love this tweet, but it’s completely pointless and unenforceable.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Bullshit. GOP changes made to the CR are substantial and dangerous. Schumer could have held out and let this play out so the GOP changes can be revealed. But instead, he caved and now it's all done but the crying. We need leaders with courage, not weak uninspired old men.

Ask your MAGA friends and family how they feel about Habitat for Humanity being criminally prosecuted for getting grants from the EPA, and having their bank accounts frozen. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. Meanwhile the public is upset about the cost of housing. See if Maga will defend this.

I hope Senate Democrats understand there is nothing clever about setting up a fake failed 30 day CR first to turn around & vote for cloture on the GOP spending bill. Those games won’t fool anyone. It won’t trick voters, it won’t trick House members. People will not forget it.

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration. Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request.

It's pretty fucking apparent that, at the rate of their firing and unfiring people, and the shit ton of money those unvetted clowns make for all the accounting mistakes they make, calling them "department of government efficiency" is a LIE. They should all be FIRED, starting with their boss.

There are 3 coequal branches of government, no one is above the other. All MAGAs are fucking dumb.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

"When you add it all up – Trump’s concessions to Putin, insults to Zelenskyy, extortion of Ukraine, bad negotiation tactics and refusal to enforce a peace deal – there’s no evidence that Trump is serious about mediating a peace, and there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that all he cares about is courting Putin." 1/ THREAD

Hey seasoned lawyers. Can Americans launch a Class Action lawsuit against the president for his Executive Order to privatize and destroy our protected federal lands and National Parks? Is there any legal avenue we, the tax payers have, to protect these lands?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

FACT - Trump Republican tax cuts are ONLY for people making OVER $360,000 a year FACT - actual House Republican budget unveiled last week did NOT include removing taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security FACT - Republicans are planning to KILL the tax deduction for mortgages

The US and Canada share quite possibly the most integrated bilateral relationship in the world. We cooperate on everything from economics to defense to intelligence. Could someone in MAGAland explain to me how a completely avoidable trade war with our closest partner helps us?

All I want is a daily press conference with Democratic leaders and the DNC Chair talking about what they are doing to push back on the Trump Administration. Is that too much to ask?

For the ignorant Americans who don't understand what US Aid to Ukraine actually looks like, please read and share this list: - The vast majority of the military aid we're providing Ukraine comes directly from existing U.S. military stockpiles. - These weapons aren't brand new; they're mostly older stockpiles that the U.S. military planned to replace anyway. - The funding approved by Congress actually goes to American companies (like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing) to build new, upgraded weapons for OUR OWN military. - This helps the American economy: Supports thousands of American jobs Strengthens American manufacturing Ensures our military gets newer, better weapons - Ukraine gets help against Putin's aggression. From his military's horrific violations against innocent women and children. - America gets stronger, safer, and better equipped in the process.
