@RazorRuckus @AdelitaForAZ @SpeakerJohnson Your party is in the majority - go tell them to reopen the government

@AdelitaForAZ @SpeakerJohnson Sorry, we’re closed. Please come back when your party reopens the government.

.@SpeakerJohnson You ready to swear me in?

@AdelitaForAZ @SpeakerJohnson Can’t a federal judge swear you in? Why are you waiting for Johnson? He’ll never do it.

@EvasTeslaSPlaid @elonmusk He cares deeply about white humanity. He doesn’t recognize the talent minorities bring to the table. In his words we all get where we are because if DEI

Walter Isaacson: Elon Musk isn't motivated by money or power. He deeply cares about humanity. "Elon has a deep care about humanity, about getting us to the transition to a sustainable energy, about human civilization. He is motivated not by making money, not by being powerful and kicking around people, but by these missions that came when he was a little kid sitting in the corner reading the superhero comics. I've got to help humanity be space-faring. I've got to help it get over this sustainable energy issue. I've got to help it fight off artificial intelligence that might be evil. So, there is a goodness to his missions, and they are epic missions."

@GavinNewsom Please run for President.

This will be the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.

@lisamurkowski Are you serious? You vote yes and then make yourself out to be a victim? This is laughable. I’m sorry Senator but you became part of the problem you say you hate.

This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.   My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax credit, and no tax on tips or overtime, we made a historic investment and modernization of the Coast Guard; enhanced our border security and national defense; funded aviation safety, including AWOS/VWOS systems that will save lives; and provided tax-exempt status for the Community Development Quota Program to help western Alaska communities establish a sustainable economy, among other provisions.   We have advanced new opportunities for resource development in the NPR-A, the Coastal Plain, and Cook Inlet that will help us create jobs and increase the share of revenues our state receives. I also co-led the Senate effort to restore a slightly longer phase-out for wind and solar tax credits while deleting a punitive excise tax targeting them.   Those provisions will benefit our economy, but it is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.   To address the bill’s shortcomings, we have helped our communities through a $50 billion rural health fund. This will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for Alaska hospitals, community health centers, and other providers. We secured commitments from the CMS Administrator to continue to address longstanding priorities which will directly help Bartlett, Fairbanks Memorial, Central Peninsula, and other hospitals in Alaska.   In the SNAP program, we have added tribal exemptions for work requirements, delayed cost-share penalties to help Alaska get benefits to the people who need them, and included work requirement waivers that align with our Medicaid policies. We also secured commitments from the Secretary of Agriculture to provide additional flexibilities to Alaska for SNAP.   But, let’s not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process—a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution. While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation—and we all know it.   My sincere hope is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the President’s desk. We need to work together to get this right.

@sentdefender Iran state television says there is a ceasefire - listening to MSNBC now

Additional ballistic missile launches from Iran now detected against Central Israel.

@sentdefender Wait is there a ceasefire or NOT? I dint know who to believe here

Trump is definitely about to be pissed…

@realDonaldTrump So now you're agreeing with him?

No member of Congress should be eligible for re-election if our country's budget is not balanced---deficits not allowed!

@ZelenskyyUa If you agree to come back and sign the minerals deal you will look weak. Don’t bow down to the pressure. Stay strong. Even if Trump gets Putin to the negotiating table you will never be safe.?Resist the bullies and stay strong!

As a result of these days, we see clear support from Europe. Even more unity, even more willingness to cooperate. Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees. And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Türkiye. Of course, we understand the importance of America, and we are grateful for all the support we’ve received from the United States. There has not been a day when we haven’t felt gratitude. It’s gratitude for the preservation of our independence – our resilience in Ukraine is based on what our partners are doing for us – and for their own security. What we need is peace, not endless war. And that’s why we say security guarantees are the key to this.

@SecRubio @POTUS You are pathetic … is the corner office and all the power worth losing your dignity? What is happening to you?

Thank you @POTUS for standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before. Thank you for putting America First. America is with you!

@StarSun2 @SecRubio Are you insane?

Took an important step forward today to establish enduring peace between Russia and Ukraine. We are using our global strength to unite countries. The United States wants peace. We want the killing to stop. Thanks to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for hosting.

@GovKathyHochul I think you should hold a press conference and explain that you cannot unilaterally fire Adams. Everyone thinks you can- but that is false. All you can do is hold a hearing, and allow Adam’s to present his case…Educate people about your role, power and duties

I’m fighting for working people from Beacon to the Bronx and from Lake Placid to Long Island.  When I say your family is my fight, these are the people I’m talking about:

@AccuRayno Some YouTube mets are beginning to come around to your thinking Bernie. But don’t forget, if that northern edge plays out it was YOU who called it first!

Storm Update x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@AccuRayno That was a great video Bernie. I love listening to your analysis. Still sticking with it?

I taped this around 12pm today, well before the 18z NAM came out. I have discussing how I think the modeling is not catching the backside of the storm properly. Time will tell whether I am correct. I explain in the video

@lisamurkowski You have a lot of nerve to pretend you care about these people while you vote to confirm the idiots who are doing this to them.

Dozens of Alaskans – potentially over 100 in total – are being fired as part of the Trump administration’s reduction-in-force order for the federal government.   Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good, stunting opportunities in Alaska and leaving holes in our communities. We can’t realize our potential for responsible energy and mineral development if we can’t permit projects. We will be less prepared to manage summer wildfires if we can’t support those on the front lines. Our tourism economy will be damaged if we don’t maintain our world-class national parks and forests.    I share the administration’s goal of reducing the size of the federal government, but this approach is bringing confusion, anxiety, and now trauma to our civil servants—some of whom moved their families and packed up their whole lives to come here. Indiscriminate workforce cuts aren’t efficient and won’t fix the federal budget, but they will hurt good people who have answered the call to public service to do important work for our nation.   My staff and I are in close touch with agency and department officials, trying to get answers about the impact of these terminations. Our goal is to forestall unnecessary harm—for people and Alaska’s federal priorities—but the response so far has been evasive and inadequate.

@marlene4719 Bring @BarackObama back!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

When America was great.

@RpsAgainstTrump He’s going to put so many people (especially children) in danger.

BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary in a 51-48 vote. Mitch McConnell was the only Republican to vote no. God help us all.

Musk's kid looked at Trump, said, 'I want you to SHUSH your f^cking mouth up!', picked his nose, and wiped it on the Resolute Desk, all in less than 20 seconds.

@AOC I just watched @RepJeffries on MSNBC and he does a lot of talking without saying anything of substance. Is there anything - bottom line - that you reps can do to stop this MAGA mafia? I’m losing all faith that they will be stopped

This is explosive. Mayor Adams is putting the City of New York and its people at risk in exchange for escaping charges. As long as Trump wields this leverage over Adams, the city is endangered. We cannot be governed under coercion. If Adams won’t resign, he must be removed.

@SenatorCollins Shame on you for confirming these incompetent fools - who got to you and forced you to turn against the American people?

The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers. For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine’s economy and risk increasing costs for our residents. I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.
