@JohnCornyn Don’t be fooled. @JohnCornyn and the GOP don’t want to rein in ICE, who wear masks, don’t act with warrants or probable cause, and murdered at least 3 US citizens. The Dems have offered to fund all other gov workers while they work out the issues with ICE. GOP has refused.

Don't be fooled: Ds are feeling the heat of public opinion after blocking all DHS funding multiple times. Now they want to cynically continue their crusade to block enforcement of immigration laws by not funding ICE and use TSA workers as a bargaining chip. #Disgraceful
Senator Patty Murray@PattyMurray
Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans will have the chance to FINALLY join Democrats and pass our bill to pay TSA workers. Every Senator will be on the record. Will Republicans seriously block TSA pay, again?

@SecScottBessent This is the dumbest thing I have ever read on this platform. A complete failure of this administration’s policies.

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability.
Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea.
At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury.
This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system.
So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

@elonmusk Democrats have offered to do this 7 times and Republicans have rejected it.

It was never about “school choice”. It was always about diverting public school funds to private schools who lobbied the GOP to make it happen.
Rep. John Bucy III@BucyForTexas
76% of voucher applicants are wealthy families already in private school. We knew this would happen — and Republicans voted down my amendment to prevent it. Voucher scams are a taxpayer-funded handout for the wealthy.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol.
Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

.@JamesTalarico: What would Jesus do about a tax system that benefits the rich over the poor? What would Jesus do about an education system that ties a child's school funding to their community's property wealth? What would Jesus do about a justice system that incarcerates more people than any other country on the face of the earth?
Would he stay in his room and pray? Or would he walk into the seat of power and flip over the tables of injustice?
We Christians are called to do more than charity. We are called to challenge the systems that make charity necessary.

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.
Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians.

Wait. If lowering tariffs lowers prices, what does raising tariffs do to prices?
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 BREAKING: In a major development, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms the PRICE OF COFFEE will go down after an impending announcement for tariff relief "You're gonna see SUBSTANTIAL announcements over the next couple days for things we don't grow in the U.S. Coffee, bananas, other fruits, things like that. That will bring the prices down VERY quickly." HUGE!

@AnthonySabatini Trump. Is. The. Swamp. He preyed on the fears of desperate and marginalized people to start his MAGA movement, but he will always do what billionaires and large corporations pay him to do.

This is insane—we are going to lose the mid-terms so badly
We’ve never seen an administration crash & burn in its first year so badly—for no reason other than to appease donors & special interests
Trump has surrounded himself with the worst people 👇

Take note that legacy media pretty much ignored the HUGE story of Trump admitting that he doesn’t know anything about a man he pardoned.
They ran with the Biden autopen story for weeks. And implied, without evidence, he had dementia. Trump can’t remember (or is lying) and nada.
