Dear GOP, I’m writing this as someone who’s new to the conservative movement. I didn’t grow up in the “politics world.” I’m not a big donor, not an insider. I ’m just a regular voter. And honestly, I’m really confused. Because from the outside, it looks like you’re sitting on the easiest wins in modern politics and refusing to do them. Why aren’t you forcing daily votes on clean, single-issue bills that the public overwhelmingly supports? I’m talking about simple bills that are so popular they’re basically political layups, things that poll super high, things normal people agree. Like… defunding fraud? Or mandatory voter ID? Or how about defunding the freaking Taliban? If Democrats oppose them and vote no? Fine. You got their vote on the record. You get the receipt. You get the clear contrast that voters can understand in 2 seconds: “We tried. They stopped it.” If Democrats vote yes? Great. Then you passed something good. You improved the country. You proved you can govern. You get credit for results. Either way, it’s a win. Either way, you build momentum. Either way, you dominate the narrative heading into the midterms. So help me understand… why are you doing the EXACT opposite? Why are you still funding the fraud? Why are you still funding the Taliban? Why are you passing bills everyone hates? Why are you passing bills that YOUR OWN BASE hates? Why are you betraying the same people who voted you in with a mandate? What is the purpose of this? But because I’m new, and I’m trying to be nice and to assume there’s a strategic reason. But it doesn’t look strategic at all... honestly, it smells like corruption. It looks like you’re leaving EASY wins on the table and like you’re refusing to put Democrats in the bind they keep putting YOU in. And I’ll be honest: it’s insanely discouraging. You tell people like me to show up, speak up, vote, donate, volunteer, bring friends along… and I have been!!! But help us out here. If you want new conservatives like me to actually be excited for the future, please stop acting like you’re permanently in opposition. Use the power you have. Force the votes. Make the contrast obvious. Make the other side explain themselves. And if you can’t do that, I don’t know what we are doing here. Sincerely, A brand new conservative

Instead of seeking justice for Renee Good, Donald Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department to investigate and intimidate Democratic leaders in Minnesota. We will not stand by silently and be bullied into submission.
Peter Baker@peterbakernyt

Trump escalates his attack on Minnesota Democrats as Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Gov Walz and Mayor Frey apparently on the theory that their objections to ICE amount to illegal interference, sources tell @PerryStein washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

@MentallyDivine If you arrest a murderer in front of their child, their child will scream 100% of the time. The murderer should still be arrested. You're an idiot.

States with the most illegal immigrants… 1. California 2. Texas 3. Florida 4. New York 5. New Jersey 6. Illinois … 23. Minnesota Yet Feds have 13% of ICE agents in Minnesota. This, obviously is a targeted attack.

The Nobel Prize Committee makes clear: "One truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: 'Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.'"

Trump keeps yelling “insurrection” in Minnesota like he forgot January 6 — the one he actually incited. Terrorizing communities and calling in troops isn’t law and order. It’s authoritarianism.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @RepRobinKelly in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

@SenWarren Requiring voter ID is a much more pressing issue to Americans. Can we atleast secure our voting system first? Surely you can get behind 80+% of Americans on this issue.

We must ban members of Congress from buying, owning and selling stocks. But House Republicans' new bill fails to do that — lawmakers can continue to own and sell stocks. It’s absurd and an insult to people’s intelligence. Stop playing games. Ban congressional stock trading.

Stop telling everyone to "just live somewhere cheaper." How? Live in your car? Illegal in many cities. Live in an RV? Often illegal. Pitch a tent? Criminalized. We made housing unaffordable. Then made survival illegal. And call that order.

Everyone keeps saying America has a “housing shortage.” It doesn’t. Divide total homes by population and you get this: We’ve never had more housing per person than we do right now. The problem isn’t supply. It’s prices.

This is NOT a Congressional stock trading ban. It’s leadership’s attempt to kill the existing bipartisan proposal. Bill is a set of new vehicles and loopholes written by and for the wealthiest members of Congress to evade tracking of their trades. It lets them continue to own, trade, and sell stock - but with less transparency so YOU can no longer track them.
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman

BRYAN STEIL (@RepBryanSteil) has a new leadership-backed stock trading bill. The legislation basically stipulates that members of Congress can keep their stocks they have when they come to Congress. If they want to sell, they have to give a seven-day notice to liquidate their position then they can sell. Violations come with stiff penalties. STEIL's bill needs to pass the Senate -- good luck -- and get signed by the president. This covers members, dependent children and spouses. The legislation does not at all deal with hedge funds, cryptocurrency, real estate. It does not mandate blind trusts. and it does not force members to liquidate any positions when coming to Congress.

@AbortionChat No child should be born into a family that does not want them, accidental pregnancy happens and is not healthy for the baby or the family. A fetus cannot feel pain and will not suffer, if it is born, then it will suffer much more

Democrats win when we run on the big changes it will take to build an economy for everyone. We win when we call out corruption and bad actors. We win when we stand against the avalanche of corporate money trying to bury our democracy.
