Sen. Murphy on DHS: "This agency is spending money like stone-drunk sailors…We swear an oath when we arrive here to ensure that…money is not used to fund unconstitutional or illegal behavior. Every single day this agency is violating the Constitution and the law."

"I think JD Vance, again, represents somebody who he doesn't even recognize anymore... JD Vance before he was VP and the JD Vance now, it's completely two different people. And so I think he's having a soul crisis." @brotherjones.bsky.social on Vance exposing America’s two-tiered justice system.
Rep. Garcia: "It's bizarre that someone from the DOJ, a high-ranking official, is also acting now as a personal counsel to Ms. Bondi. The fact that the DOJ is essentially stopping Ms. Bondi from answering questions and interjecting, particularly around President Trump, is incredibly concerning."
"That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Ben Parker and Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social (Ret.) react to JD Vance claiming Trump did more than any president to help Ukraine survive Russia's invasion, even as Trump berated Zelensky and pushed Kyiv to give up territory.
Rep. Garcia on Pam Bondi's Epstein deposition: "It's also interesting that sitting next to her is…somebody that currently works for the DOJ…The DOJ is in there right now, stopping questions about President Trump."
Republicans know Trump’s J6er slush fund is radioactive and some are saying so clearly to constituents. But in public? Not so much. @cheetah.bsky.social digs into the private letters exposing the GOP’s two-track messaging in the latest edition of Press Pass: lnk.thebulwark.com/49MLzt5?utm_...
"The Army manual on leadership...it will talk about how character is built from an individual's background, values, visions...That comment about diversity is not our strength is just bullshit." @markhertling.bsky.social on Pete Hegseth’s attack on diversity and his failure to understand leadership.
How is it that 80-90% of Americans agree that our public officials should not be able to legally enrich themselves based on insider stock information they have and yet the Stock Act which would prevent exactly that, never manages to be passed?
Sen. Schatz: "It's really shocking to me the degree to which this administration expresses shock that the thing that everybody said was going to happen ended up happening."
Sen. Murphy: "On 96 occasions, DHS was caught violating the law, was ordered to obey the law, and 96 times ignored the judge in one state. That is stunning, and it should be unacceptable to anyone on this committee who claims to care about the rule of law."
Sen. Duckworth: "That's an astonishing figure worth repeating. In just 14 weeks, President Trump will have blown through as much, if not more, money in Iran than he thinks Congress should spend on US diplomacy for the entirety of the next fiscal year."
Trump is “increasingly desperate” because he is not in a “dominant position” and “cannot dictate terms,” while “the Iranians are not going to accept a ceasefire that puts them in the same position as Lebanon and Gaza,” says @tparsi.bsky.social of the Quincy Institute.

That's an odd way of admitting that you were wrong about the firearm crossing state lines. Also, you failed to prove your "provoking" claim. When Rosenbaum suddenly attacked & chased Kyle he was en route to extinguish a car fire. How are you justifying the unprovoked attack by Rosenbaum? ⬇️

Scott Bessent says Trump’s tax cuts are showing early results, with 60M+ returns claiming deductions and 5.5M TrumpAccounts opened. The plan aims to boost take-home pay and savings for families. #Trending #news #ScottBessent #trump #reels
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. 💸 #WeCantAffordTrump
The spiral will try to pull you outward. It will flash headlines. It will trigger outrage. It will tempt your nervous system to spin. But power is not found in reactivity. Power is found in regulation. You are more powerful when calm than when… #SolarSage #NervousSystemRegulation #CollectiveEnergy

Donald Trump landed in China expecting the complete full red-carpet treatment ,only to discover Xi Jinping couldn’t even be bothered to show up at the airport In diplomatic terms, that’s not a scheduling conflict; it’s a calculated snub that signals exactly where Trump stands in Beijing’s priorities

Inverted 'X' in the logo? Not the vibe. It's a reminder of the atrocities committed in the name of 'faith.' I live in a supposedly secular country where people ignore how kids are actually raised, yet lose their minds if you choose to remain child-free
COLLINS: “Do you think it’s a good idea to put Trump’s face on a $250 Bill when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries?” BESSENT: “…I don’t see anything untoward about it.”🙃
