@RepJeffries I knew your comments to Shannon Bream were disingenuous lies. You don’t want civility. The left has been rioting for almost a decade. You call people Nazi and call for all out war against 1/2 of America. You are a typical Communist agitator.

America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress. Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6. There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day. Now is a time to unify.

@PramilaJayapal How about it doesn’t work?

The US has more aircraft carriers, more worldwide military bases, and a more defense budget than any nation in human history. But every time someone proposes Medicare for All, we are told the same thing: it's too expensive. We see exactly what this government values. And it isn't us.

@JDunlap1974 What percentage is acceptable to be wasted on fraud? Why is there no outrage on the left over learing centers and fake hospices?

What percentage of your tax dollars would you find acceptable to send as aid to foreign countries?

@Chicago1Ray @Leigh3004 @ChairmanGruters I will look her up and maybe give. Can’t count on RNC to support grass roots candidates!

Meet Christian Maxwell she's running in (IL-01) which is (D+18) and she still won her primary with (65%) of the vote She represents a seismic shift of blacks joining the (R) party nationwide She can win this seat... I'm calling on RNC @ChairmanGruters to help fund her campaign

@JamesTate121 This is why we are a Republic and not a Democracy. If we only worried about majority rule, imagine all those who would have no rights. African Americans are the first to come to mind.

Carville Drops Hard Truths About the Rigged Math Behind Republican Power Democrats have won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes. But Republicans control the Senate because 18% of the country elects 52 senators. This is not democracy. This is a system designed to keep the minority in power and it is working exactly as they intended. Carville pointed out that just 18 percent of the American population elects 52 United States senators, a staggering illustration of how rural, low-population states hold outsized power in the upper chamber regardless of where most Americans actually live and what they actually believe. He paired that with another figure that rarely gets the attention it deserves. In the last nine presidential elections, Democrats have won the popular vote seven times. Seven out of nine. The party that Republicans routinely dismiss as a fringe minority has been the clear preference of the American electorate for the better part of four decades. The Senate math is not an accident and it is not neutral. It is a feature of a system that was designed in an era when small states demanded protection, and it now functions as a structural firewall against majority rule. The result is a chamber where a senator from Wyoming carries roughly 70 times the electoral weight of a senator from California. Carville's point is not just academic. It explains how policies that polling shows most Americans oppose continue to advance, and why the party winning fewer votes keeps accumulating more power.

@LeaderJohnThune It only took you 69 days. Now pass the Save Act.

Because Democrats are playing games with our national security, Republicans are going to fund Border Patrol and ICE for three years, so that they have what they need to do their jobs throughout the entirety of President Trump’s term.

@LeaderJohnThune @DHSgov Enforce the standing filibuster and pass the Save Act or resign now

For 67 days now, Democrats have refused to fully fund @DHSgov. That is unacceptable. And it’s why Republicans are going to move forward this week with a budget resolution that will allow us to take up a funding bill for the law enforcement and border security components of DHS.

@Milajoy @LeaderJohnThune Nothing else matters. Force the speaking filibuster. Lock the doors and make all the 80 year olds sit there until it is passed.

John Thune is no longer considering the SAVE America Act. He's tagged. Tell @LeaderJohnThune what you think of his decision.

@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts You had your chance (s). STEP ASIDE! You’re in America’s way!

@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts You have one job; pass the Save Act. If you are doing anything else including posting on X, you are wasting tax dollars and betraying your constituents and this country. PASS THE SAVE ACT NOW!

Tax Day was last week, and many hardworking Americans reaped the benefits of the Working Families @TaxCuts. More than 25 million American workers were able to deduct overtime pay from their taxes. And more than 6 million workers were able to deduct their tips from their taxes.

@fire_starter457 The civil rights amendment was passed thanks to Republican votes.

Apparently this needs to be said again since MAGA is VERY confused: Yes, Democrats were the party of slavery- 150+ years ago. Then came Reconstruction. Then the Civil Rights Movement. Then the parties realigned and ideologies flipped. That’s not an opinion. That’s documented history. You don’t get to ignore 150 years of history and then call me uninformed. At this point, it’s not confusion. It’s willful ignorance.

@Acyn Considering our founders set up a representative republic because they knew that democracies fail, I think you should rephrase your post. We need to return to appointed Senators, enact electoral colleges for state governors elections, and restore the republic.

Buttigieg: The founders didn’t set up a democracy because they just thought it was academically interesting. They did it because they saw that if one person has too much power, daily life gets worse. That’s why I’m a little allergic to this idea that we shouldn’t worry about our democracy because we need to talk about things that are a little more immediate. They go together. We should talk about all of them at once. The reason why you paid $1,000 more per household last year in tariffs is because we have a president who doesn’t think he’s accountable to the American people and didn’t think he had to follow the law. These things are connected.

@AFalkenhau27784 @novelli68 @D162Michele Notice that nobody has an answer for you. Because there isn’t a good example

@novelli68 @D162Michele Where has communism succeeded?

What is it about communism that makes Westerners suddenly become historians, economists, and philosophers all at once? What are you afraid of? free healthcare? 🇨🇳

@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts PASS THE SAVE ACT OR STEP ASIDE!

Had Republicans not taken action, there would have been a $4 trillion tax increase on the American people this year. Instead, thanks to the Working Families @TaxCuts, Americans are seeing their tax refund increase by more than 10 percent compared to last year.

@FurlinMark @SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki DJT did win the popular vote.

@SaveTheLibs @JamesSurowiecki You have no idea what you're talking about and the more you try to explain your view the dumber you sound. My vote should not count more or less depending on where I live and everyone with a brain knows this. And if Republicans could win the popular vote they would be against EC.

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@JamesSurowiecki You make the point for the electoral college in your argument. Without it an undo amount of power would be placed in the hands of too few. Would a farmer in Iowa, or a fisherman in Maine have any say in elections with out it. No.

@nutonthemove @hihojimjim @DerrickEvans4WV America does not have a shortage issue. oil PRICE is global. If Trump were the dictator some claim him tobe he could make the American oil companies sell only in the US and at a price he demanded. But we are a free nation so free companies can sell to the market at market price.

@hihojimjim @DerrickEvans4WV Can you make your above statement jive with the president's comments? The post was a rhetorical statement on rhetoric from the white house that we have tons of oil we won't have any issues (price increases, shortage etc.)

Can someone please explain to me how we have all this extra oil to sell to other countries, but gas is over $4/gallon here as if there’s some sort of shortage.

@GadSaad @BarackObama Orban is a lousy dictator if he allowed free elections

@DavidJHarrisJr How stupid can one billionaire be?

Gov. JB Pritzker: "The best way to make things more affordable? Raise the people’s wages." Thoughts?

@NEWSMAX If Republicans lose the midterms there will be a Democratic speaker not a republican.

REPORT: Rep. Jim Jordan is emerging as a potential contender for House speaker if Republicans lose their majority and Speaker Mike Johnson steps aside after the November midterm elections. MORE: bit.ly/3NYsz2Z
