@Geniustechw So, if someone disagrees with the politics of those in control, then it will be seen as treason? Who is threatening Democracy?

@AmyMcGrathKY Agree with you. Said the same thing when Hillary, Joe, and Kamala did the same thing.

Let me get this straight.
The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately.
Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes.
Trump said no.
Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.
Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse.
Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks.
We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math.
Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today.
Trump is the one standing in the way.

@allenanalysis The Dems don’t want to amend because that gives the Reps a victory. The Reps don’t want to amend because they think that benefits the Dems. Only group either side doesn’t consider is Americans.

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.

@RepJeffries What have you done about affordability, other than complaign?
English
@SpencerHakimian Not in SC. Ours is $3. Never doubt what your Governor is doing to you.

@PattyMurray ICE is already funded. Only thing you are accomplishing is making our country unsafe at a time we are likely to get hit by terrorists. Stop hating republicans more than you do what is right for Americans.

@RepPatRyanNY You do know the Hegseth served, and was still in the reserves until he was appointed.

@RepJasonCrow Other than 50 years of history from a regime that chants death to America and calls us the great Satan. Maybe you need to look past your hate for one man.

@JamieBonkiewicz No, Obama negotiated a naive bad deal that gave Iran enough money to build a missle program. It required inspections, which Iran never allowed to take place. Trump ripped up a bad deal that was worthless.
English
@allenanalysis Accountability would be getting that money to the citizens, but this guy will keep
It. Political theater.
English
@AngieNixon So no due process or respect for Constitutional rights. It concerns me that someone who bases personal rights on if they like someone could potentially be a Senator. This attitude is bigger than one man.

@jemelehill Ms. Hill, please know the law. He organized and participated in an assembly that was not peaceful and violated the free expression rights of others. This is a federal crime.

@DarrigoMelanie Where would the funds come from for all of this? What is the plan?
English

- no universal healthcare
- no paid family leave
- no universal childcare
- no living wage as a minimum wage
- no affordable housing
- no tuition-free public college
- rolled back labor laws
- gutted food assistance
- deregulated food safety
Republicans hate American families.

Johnson: Because we know that support for American families doesn't end at birth, our policies reflect this.

@BoringBiz_ Correction, it is not prosperity. Many, if not most, Boomers have their retirement in the equity of their house. Many also use equity to leave something of value to their kids. There is middle ground.
English

One of the most significant moments from the Trump Davos speech was when he said the quiet part out loud
You cannot lower housing costs for young people without destroying millions in wealth for boomers
"Every time you make it more affordable for somebody to own a house cheaply, you are actually hurting the value of those houses. I don't want to do anything to hurt the value of their house.
If I wanted to crush the housing market, I could do that so fast that people could buy houses. But you would destroy people who already have houses."
Our politicians are sacrificing people in their 20s and 30s for the prosperity of boomers
Let that sink in

@profstonge How did he fix California? Just because you say it doesn’t make it true? People are leaving that state for a reason.
English

He fixed California, now he's ready to fix America.

@RepCasar In order to clarify, please explain where the 4 billion came from? How is this money connected to his office?
