I’m honored to chair the new @GOPoversight Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses. First action: a formal investigation into a billion-dollar Medicaid fraud scandal in Ohio.
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
24 sources told The Atlantic that Kash Patel’s heavy drinking impeded his ability to do his job. He denied it. He also told provable lies during this hearing. And at the end, he refused to acknowledge that is a crime to lie to Congress. It is.
Leader Thune says there's nothing more he can do to pass the Save America Act: "We don't have the votes to get rid of the filibuster. We had a very spirited debate. I made more speeches on the floor in support of the SAVE Act than any other senator."
Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on. This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
House GOP vice chair Blake Moore's idea to end gerrymandering: All 50 governors should convene in 2030 and agree to basic standards on how to draw districts in their states, he told @Deseret “I want to be a part of [gerrymandering] not existing," he said deseret.com/politics/2026/…

Doctor: "Your LDL is still high. I'm adding a second statin." Patient: "I'm already on one. My legs ache." Doctor: "That's a known side effect. I'll add CoQ10." Patient: "And I'm tired all the time." Doctor: "Fatigue is common. I'll add modafinil." Patient: "My memory is foggy." Doctor: "Cognitive effects can occur. Donepezil should help." Patient: "I have a cough now." Doctor: "That'll be the ACE inhibitor I prescribed last visit. We'll swap it for an ARB." Patient: "I'm not sleeping." Doctor: "Zopiclone." Patient: "Heard that's addictive." Doctor: "We'll taper you with mirtazapine when the time comes." Patient: "My blood sugar has gone up." Doctor: "Statins can do that. Metformin." Patient: "I get diarrhoea on metformin." Doctor: "Loperamide." Patient: "I've gained weight." Doctor: "Ozempic." Patient: "I feel nauseous." Doctor: "Ondansetron." Patient: "I don't want to be on twelve medications." Doctor: "Anxiety is common at this stage. I'll add sertraline." Patient: "What if I just stopped the statin?" Doctor: "Absolutely not."
. @Mike_Pence wants to warn Republicans about the “siren song of populism.” I want to remind him of what the last half-century of his “traditional conservative principles” actually produced. 1. It produced NAFTA. 2. It produced the WTO deal that handed China our manufacturing base. 3. It produced twenty years of nation-building in the Middle East while our own Nation crumbled. 4. It produced a ruling class of Republicans who won elections, controlled committees, gave speeches about limited government, and delivered NOTHING. Not one inch of a wall. Not one factory brought home. Not one federal agency, activity or department reined in. NOTHING, so stop with your BS! Mike, that is the path you want us to return to. You call it principle. I call it failure with a flag pin on the lapel. The American people did not drift toward populism. They ran toward it because the alternative was another decade of men like you (@VP45) managing their decline while assuring them it was conservatism. We are done being managed. We are done being lectured. We are done watching Washington Republicans cash out while the country falls apart. There is no time for choosing, Mike. The choice was made (three times to be exact). The only person who hasn’t accepted it is YOU. You may as well be speaking to the hand! You’re wasting your time if you believe for a second that you have a shot at the presidency. Americans are now demanding far more leadership than you ever demonstrated. Have a nice day! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
