While the WORLD is speculating about whether POTUS staged an assassination attempt, please remember that Russia proposed a fake assassination attempt for Victor Orban. Sounds like Russia’s MO. Trump works for Russia. Trump has made us a laughing stock.

Certainly feels like Melania Trump is “going to go through some things.” Some major news must be coming out about her and Epstein and it’s not going to be pretty! Buckle your seatbelts and get some popcorn as this is going to be very interesting!!! #melaniatrump #epstein

It’s very disturbing that we, as Americans, can’t trust not only what the Iranians are saying, but what the Trump Administration is telling us. Both sides are spewing lies and propaganda to their people and the world, and we have no idea about the truth. #iranceasefire #iranwar

So Trump is agreeing to a two-week pause? Yes, that’s not bombing Iran “back to the Stone Ages” or ending their civilization. But we still have no idea what comes next with this sick abuser. He needs to be removed from office.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Americans sour on Trump's economy and at least some of his foreign adventurism, per @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy poll. 86% oppose using military force to seize Greenland while 44% say they are worse off economically under Trump compared to just 18% who feel better off. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-tru...

cbsnews.comCBS News poll finds more Americans say ICE being too tough; Republicans feel protesters have gone too farLooking overseas, there is wide opposition to the idea of taking Greenland by force.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

We need to vote OUT every senator & congress member who is accepting money from gun manufacturers & gun supporting companies. Lets vote for people who want rational gun laws.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
