Rep Larson to Bessent: "When home I'm in my district, I'm going to tell them-'Don't you understand core inflation? You're better off. These gas prices, why are you people complaining instead of doing cartwheels in the streets?!'"

13 7

Gov. Pritzker: Trump has failed our workers with high costs, empowered wealthy corporations to treat them like garbage. GOP have been acting like lapdogs, letting the WH trample your rights & rubbing elbows with Musk & Ellison. Time for Republicans in Washington to cut the BS!

552 233

Larson: Are we at war currently? Bessent: The conflict has been halted. Larson: The conflict has been halted. So we're not at war? Bessent: If you'd like me to call the Secretary of War, I can ask. Bessent is unable or unwilling to actually answer.

Rubio says Trump administration is planning for Gaza to be governed by an “autocratic entity."

Brooke Rollins called kicking people off food assistance “good news.” When confronted with real people losing SNAP benefits, she hid behind “fraud.” Hunger is getting worse. Republicans never have cared. (I would rather feed 10 people who didn’t need it than let a single person in need go hungry.)

Brooke Rollins in November: We have screwworm under control. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026. Beef prices continue to rise. Screwworm is now found in the US. (We were declared free of indigenous screwworms in 1966) Biden had a war on cattle? How did I miss that? But beef was cheaper then!

Q: Have you dropped the anti-weaponization fund? Trump: No, a court ruled against it. But these are people who have been decimated. I'm very proud to have given them pardons and I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government.

Rep Ted Lieu played Rubio a video of Trump sleeping while he tried to talk to him during a cabinet meeting. Then this exchange happened: Rubio: I've never seen him fall asleep. Lieu: I'm going to show you a video that shows you just lied to Congress *plays another video of Trump sleeping for Rubio*

Journalist: People at home feel anxious and confused about the Iran deal. Trump: That's good. That's good they're confused, and the Iranians are confused. It's just the way I am. So…is he saying that he’s confused? 🤔 And that’s a good thing? 😳

Love Island: "America's sexiest singles will land in Fiji looking for love while competing for a share of $100,000. I mean, wow, YOU could get half a tank of gas for that!" Rising price of gas probably engenders mostly tears but, still, laughter is good for the soul!

Sen. Warren to Secretary Bessent re Trump's 2027 budget: On Jan 6th, Donald Trump purchased up to a million dollars worth of Nvidia stock. A week later, his admin loosened the rules on export controls so that Nvidia could sell its chips to China. Now, the price of Nvidia stock is through the roof.

Republicans want to cut YOUR healthcare to pay for a war in Iran that nobody asked for and nobody voted for. 300,000 Americans will lose coverage so bombs can fly. Bombs over benefits. That’s the GOP budget. #FundHealthcareNotWar

30 18

The US spends $886 billion a year on defense. We can’t find money for universal healthcare. 68 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. This is a priorities problem. Republicans chose bombs over your body. Hold them accountable. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Trump & Hegseth want $200 BILLION for war with Iran while tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they can’t afford a doctor. Choose a side: bombs or beds, missiles or medicine. #FundHealthcareNotWar

36 19

Lack of health insurance kills FAR more Americans every year than Iran ever has. But Trump & Hegseth want $200B for war instead of care. That’s not “national security” — that’s national neglect. #FundHealthcareNotWar

20 9

Cutting health insurance for 300,000 Americans to fund a 200 billion dollar war in Iran is a moral failure. This budget is a ransom note written in the public’s blood. People over profits. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Sen. Ossoff: Trump said he’d put America First. Now he says funding Medicaid is not possible but war always is. Premiums are up. Hospitals are closing. Soldiers are dying. The First Family is getting richer. Today’s war powers vote is your chance to say enough. #FundHealthcareNotWar

56 30

Mike Johnson bragged about “notebooks full of ideas” to improve healthcare. Axios revealed what was in them: strip millions of Americans of coverage to fund a war with Iran. Today the House votes on war powers. Now you know exactly what that vote means. #FundHealthcareNotWar

MN House Speaker and GOP gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth refuses to rule out a pardon for Derek Chauvin: "There's a lot that goes into any type of pardon decision." 😳

Q: If Trump is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back for checkups? Oz: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day. Really? If that is actually the case and he's in "perfect" health, why does he need checkups every single day?

Q: We've been asking why Bill Pulte is qualified to be DNI. You're a heart surgeon? Dr. Oz: Yes. Q: Would you recommend a patient go see someone who isn't? Dr. Oz: *silence*

Unearthed footage shows Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte receiving strange award: "This says 'Bill Pulte Fucks' ... it does say, 'Only The Young' on the back here."

GOP Rep Keane hasn't been seen in 3 months. 'Apparently he will be back to run for re-election, but I don't feel he's really earned that.' Is this on-brand for today's Republican party, or what?

13 4

Appointing a DNI with zero intelligence experience because he’s a great guy socially? The White House actually admitted they trust Trump’s judgment because he’s a quick study of people’s emotional abilities. We are talking about national security, not a reality TV casting call.

17 9

Rubio says he’s happy about how we have transformed foreign aid, brushing off massive policy failures as bumps in the road. He lives in a fantasy world where destroying international alliances, abandoning global stability counts as a proud achievement. (I wouldn’t be in his shoes, even if they fit.)

A food bank CEO said fuel costs went from $14,000 to $24,000 a month. That extra $10,000? It was going to feed people. Now it feeds a gas tank. This is the economy they’re bragging about. Tell me again who’s winning. #SNAP

Ossoff: He's trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself. But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone...because he's a failed president and a national disgrace. #VoteYourOssoff

Fox: Wall Street Journal describes you as "scandal plagued." Paxton: The reality is they could say the same thing about Donald Trump. (Credit: atrupar)

Ossoff: This is what small men like Trump, Vance and Miller will never understand. Our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions. That is what makes us exceptional.

Demanding constitutional oversight, Governor Sherrill insists on closing the facility: "It must be transparent about who is being held at that facility. I'll keep pressing DHS to do better, to abide by our nation's Constitution, and to close #DelaneyHall down for good."

Top Trump economist admits tariffs are making imports more expensive.

Reporter: If you want $3 gas, you're going to have to wait 6 years. We will not get back down to that sub-$70 oil level until 2032.

RFK Jr. told Trump’s Cabinet that circumcision causes autism because of Tylenol. Trump called it “tremendous proof.” Medical experts say zero evidence. Those running US healthcare spread debunked misinformation to the President’s face and he’s nodding along. This is your public health leadership.

Don't let some guy from QUEENS, NEW YORK tell SOUTH CAROLINA what to do! Early Voting starts Tuesday, May 26th at 8:30 AM. Show that guy from Queen and the SC Legislature that we won't be silenced! #VoteEarlySC

On Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifices made to protect our country by defending the freedoms they fought for. Sally Field reminds us that the true power of our democracy belongs to the goodness and strength of the people. Let us keep standing together.

Our country has always been a work in progress, built and protected by everyday people who made the ultimate sacrifice. This Memorial Day, let’s honor their legacy by remembering that the freedom they died for is worth protecting, worth perfecting, and always worth defending together.

This is what we are fighting to protect. Watch history come alive on a 19th-century press as Howard crafts a timeless tribute for Memorial Day. Watch until the end for a beautiful, quiet reminder that our democracy is a living legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Our modern Memorial Day began as Decoration Day in 1865, founded by 10,000 newly freed Black Americans in Charleston who built a proper cemetery and held a massive parade for fallen Union soldiers. Remembering its true origin ensures this vital Black history is never forgotten.

Hegseth invokes Charlie Kirk at West Point graduation: "Last, and most importantly, seek God. As Charlie Kirk often said ... " (Meanwhile, God sent Kegsbreath rain.)

Noah Wyle: "Congress-pass healthcare workers' tax credit. Medicine is hard enough with the staffing ratio and decades old tuition bills." We must support those whose calling in life is to serve those in need. Their life's mission is to help us. Now, it's our turn to help them.”

Trump is claiming he won the LGBTQ+ vote because he played a song at his rallies. Truly, who needs fundamental human rights or basic dignity when you have a track on the playlist? His unhinged delusion is honestly exhausting. (I just remembered I had tickets for this event. I forgot! Oops!)

Still waiting on those $2 eggs, Donald. Still waiting on the $.99 gas. Still waiting on prices dropping “immediately” like you promised. What we got instead: tariffs, chaos, and a grocery bill that looks like a car payment. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

27 16

A family of four now spends up to $1,600 a month just on groceries. That’s a mortgage payment. That’s a car note. That’s what Trump’s economy actually costs regular people while billionaires cash out. This is not normal. Don’t let them tell you it is. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

16 13

They weren’t even at a fancy restaurant. Just trying to order something decent to the house. But between the food prices, the delivery charge, and the tip — it turned into a whole financial decision. This is everyday life now. That’s where we are. 😔 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Trump is bleeding people dry. This woman in Michigan walked in for a few items & spent over $100 without buying real meals. This isn’t about poor choices. This is a system that is failing working people on every single front. 😤 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

107 47

A watermelon is $10. Potato chips nearly doubled. One cart of groceries — $150. I can still afford cabbage and beans, though. Yum! 🙄 A woman said she stays home now just to survive. This is what living under Trump feels like. Every. Single. Day. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

16 14

He’s not talking about lobster. He’s at Costco pricing out lentils & flour — the basics people buy when they’re trying to stretch a dollar. Prices doubling in a single year should be a national emergency. Where is the outrage? Where is the accountability? #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Grocery costs just jumped 3%, and it is only getting worse. Trump is hiking diesel prices with his reckless Iran conflict, and we are the ones stuck with the bill. We are literally paying for a war we never wanted. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Seattle inflation is at 4.9 percent. Dining out is up 7 percent and clothing jumped 15 percent. Trump promised relief, but all we got were relentless price hikes that are here to stay. We cannot afford this. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

17 14

Fourteen dollars for eggs and milk is the new, painful normal. Trump's indifference toward your bank account is written all over your grocery receipt. We are paying the price for his negligence. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

25 17

Billionaires got tax cuts. Corporations got record profits. You got $8 butter and $12 orange juice. That’s not a supply chain problem. That’s a policy choice called tariffs. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

CT food pantries are overflowing as 39000 families lose SNAP benefits. With gas and grocery prices soaring, people are struggling to survive. This is the reality of Trump's America. We can't afford this. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

22 19

MAHA is a lie. Beef is up 14 percent and produce is up 6.5 percent. Groceries just had their worst month in 4 years. We cannot eat healthy when we can barely afford to eat at all. Trump prices are crushing us. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, band, and crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. The perfect full-circle goodbye!

734 244

Trump/DOJ secret "release of claims:" Waives all claims against Trump by the US. Trump, family & businesses cannot be investigated, audited or sued by US government including all US agencies FOREVER, even after he leaves office. It forfeits our rights, money & democracy.

25 19

RFK jr. is, once again, trying to practice medicine without a license. This time he suggests that a good diet is more effective at treating mental disorders than psychiatric medications such as SSRI's. Can a good diet cure stupidity?

62 27

Trump: "We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'" Trump's disregard for the value of human life is a disgrace for any person, let alone a president of the US. #StupidOnStilts

744 234

Dem's put forth amendment prohibiting use of taxpayer funds to pay out Trump lawsuit settlements. Dem's blast Trump use of taxpayer money to pay off Capitol Hill rioters calling it a profound abuse of taxpayers' funds. "This is a slush fund for Trump's political allies." #StupidOnStilts

37 12

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs & world leaders in 6 mo. He had 7 mo left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it. But now, Massie is unleashed. 😅

44 16

Trump says his $1.776B weaponization slush fund is "peanuts" compared to what ths rioting January 6th insurrectionists actually faced. They chose a false hero. They broke the law. In many cases, they pled guilty. #StupidOnStilts

Brooke Rollins claims that beef prices are high because MAHA is causing people to eat more beef. Apparently, she doesn't see the connection between the Iran war, the high cost of oil and the subsequent high cost of all goods and services.

Springsteen to Colbert: "You're the first guy in America to lose his show because we got a president who can't take a joke...and because Larry & David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass. These are small minded people with no idea about the freedoms of this beautiful country."

1,776 629

Trump brushed off his own son's wedding by saying "I'm going to try and make it" because of "Iran and other things." Then he calls his own flesh and blood "a person I've known for a long time." Imagine being such a soulless lizard that you talk about your child like an old coworker.

Here's our 'stable genius,' at it again. "Nobody actually thought of it until it was mentioned this morning. You have stores closing down in areas where they're not going to have a store anymore." Brilliant, just brilliant Donnie.

Sleepy Donnie seems unable to resist the soporific powers of Lee Zeldin as Zeldin drones on. Who needs sleeping pills, eh Donnie?

Sen Murray: How do you justify cutting NIH by billions to send half a trillion more to the Pentagon? Bhattacharya: The budget...uh....is obviously a bigger problem... Sen. Murray: You didn't really answer the question. I know why.

455 209

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis calls the new Trump/DOJ $1.776B slush fund "stupid on stilts." "These people assaulted police officers, admitted their guilt, were convicted. Now we're going to pay them for that?!?!" He calls it what it is: "tyranny." #StupidOnStilts

248 145

Your tax dollars. Their riot. Their payday. Trump’s $1.776B fund is open for business — and the Proud Boys leader who got 22 years for seditious conspiracy is already doing the math. Share this everywhere!

236 184

Turnip announces purge of DOJ and FBI officials deemed disloyal. Trump: "We will seek out any disloyal DOJ/FBI officials and get rid of them. They're scum. You have scum in any agency. We will prevail." Anyone who goes after him for breaking actual laws will be labeled "scum." #TrumpCorruption

266 189

Sen. Reed: When Trump first announced this lawsuit, he said, 'I think I'll give the money to charity.' Will you fulfill Trump's wish that the money goes to respected charities? Blanche: That's not ultimately what the settlement calls for.

Trump's self congratulatory rant about Reflecting 'Lake.' He brags, "I'm doing a great job. I've upgraded it like you wouldn't believe. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be waterproof. It's going to be reflecting." Water is going to be "waterproof?" This would be humorous—but it’s real life.
