He didn't start any wars. He didn't alienate our allies. He created/recovered 16M jobs. He signed the infrastructure bill. He signed the CHIPS Act. He signed the PACT Act. He didn't build monuments to glorify himself. He didn't use the presidency to enrich himself. He didn't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We were BETTER off under Biden.

I’ve read (& written about at this link) the majority opinion & the dissent in Callais, where the Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act without actually overruling it. I know the history, & have lived through & litigated some of it. I’m left with this question. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

Justice Kagan: "I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.' It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act."

Our Town Hall on Sunday has a venue change. It is no longer at the American Legion, and instead at the Port Jefferson Village Center at 2 PM. We hope to see everyone there! #TownHall #CivicEngagement #NY01 #Congress #LongIsland

@AdamKinzinger There is no such thing as a concerned Republican. Please stop asking when “they” will step up. Republicans are all in this together.

Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out

Public service means showing up when people need help, not when it’s politically convenient. In 2024, record flooding devastated parts of the North Shore, damaging areas around Stony Brook Village and Blydenburgh County Park. Families, businesses, and community spaces were impacted, yet federal funding took nearly two years to arrive. Why did it take so long? Communities should never have to wait for help because of election timing. Leadership means fighting for resources when people need them most, not holding action until it becomes politically useful. Congressman Nick LaLota had the opportunity to push harder and sooner for this district. That’s why I’m running. As a veteran, service has always been at the center of my life. I believe Long Island deserves leadership that puts people before politics and delivers real results for our communities. If you believe we need accountable leadership and stronger advocacy for Long Island, visit my website, get involved, and help us bring good governance back to our district. #ChrisGallant #LongIsland #NY01 #PublicService #LongIslandPolitics

Hegseth Says Iran Cease-Fire Stops Clock for Congressional Approval nytimes.com/2026/04/30/us/… via @NYTimes And the moon is made of cheese. This administrations thinks saying something is true makes it so. 60 days is the law. Count on GOP to ignore this, just like Epstein files.

Saying that Trump is bad President who routinely deploys violent rhetoric and is a unique threat to liberal Democracy are appropriate and true statements. We should be full-throated in our condemnation of political violence and violent rhetoric. But we should continue to tell the truth about Trump.

@MilesTaylorUSA But what if we don’t believe it was real?

"So what?" Trump said, when told Mike Pence faced the threat of assassination on Jan. 6, 2021. Don't be like Trump. Condemn political violence, regardless of who is targeted.

BREAKING: For the first time since 2010, a Fox News poll shows that American voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy. This is huge.

@donwinslow Agreed. but isn't everything that comes out of this White House serious BS?

I PREDICT SOME SERIOUS BS THIS WEEK FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO DISTRACT FROM THEIR FAILURES IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF. LOOK FOR THE F.B.I. TO BE INVOLVED ON SOME LEVEL.

Trump on campaign trail: "I'll bring prices down on Day 1." Of course, Trump never said Day 1 of what year.

BREAKING: A new poll in Hungary found that JD Vance's visit to Budapest made Viktor Orbán's party lose 3% of its support.

Donald Trump thinks Iran doesn't know that it's an election year. He cannot win this war no matter how many bombs he drops. This war is a loser Trump is a loser. And he's making America a loser.

Martha Stewart made $45,000 in profits. 👇🏼 They caught her. They prosecuted her. She spent five months in federal prison. Members of Congress are making hundreds of millions. And the head of the enforcement division tasked with policing this resigned last week. She couldn’t get the agency focused on it. Now let’s talk about the bipartisan nature of this corruption. Because I want to be clear, this is not a Republican problem. This is a Washington problem. That’s the scandal. As an American I am embarrassed by it. As an American I want it to stop. Get Citizens United off the books. Pass the Bets Off Act. Reinstate the Stock Act with teeth. Or just keep watching them get rich while you pay the price.

@thedaywar90 @seanmack1025 Absolutely.

Biden didn’t destroy the Rose Garden. He rebuilt the economy, created over 15 million jobs, cut the deficit, lowered insulin costs, and passed historic climate & infrastructure bills. His conscience is clear and so is his record. Do you agree with me? Yes Or No

@Texasgaslight56 @DemocraticWins But oh, the suffering, damage, and despair Trump has wrought in those five-plus years.

@DemocraticWins Chuck has been in DC for 52 years lol -- with your no kings lol

BREAKING: Millions of protesters in more than 3,000 cities and towns across the country will rise up today to call out President Trump for violating the number 1 premise of America: that we won’t support kings. This is what real power looks like.

@VA_Swamp_Monsta @DemocraticWins You mean the one that helped saved thousands upon thousands of lives. Ir the ones who careless disregard for facts and compulsive lies needlessly cost an estimated 200,000 American lives. Time to wake up to the facts.

@DemocraticWins Excellent protest!!!! No kings in America!!!

Mike Johnson: party over country. Wait, no. Mike Johnson: loyalty to Trump over country. What an irresponsible, pathetic little man. #Trump #shutdown #NoKingsDayMarch2026
