Ukriane deserves every weapon we can spare…they are beating our enemy too!!Why is the Pentagon holding up Ukraine funds? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

TX race flying under the political radar is Comptroller - Dem @SarahEckhardtTX vs MAGA Millionaire @DonHuffines. Eckhardt is extraordinarily qualified, capable, & prepared. Huffines is an odd, failed, Nepo-baby MAGA ideologue, & that's being nice to him. texastribune.org/events/2026/04…

Even if it takes me 20 years I'll follow back anybody who reposts this thread

This should be front page news. EVERYWHERE

Don't pine for the days of more civil R politicians like George W Bush & his dad George HW Bush. GHW appointed Clarence Thomas. GW appointed Sam Alito & John Roberts. The Bush's are every bit responsible for SCOTUS destroying the VRA & setting democracy back more than 60 years.

In the federal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the coastal authorities, who investigate seashell-related crimes; and the Department of Justice, who prosecute the offenders.

@TheRickWilson @crushtheracists The ballroom bunker is the GOP solution to the problem of the peaceful transfer of power.

You know what the solution to $4.23/gal gas is, right? A BALLROOM!

Ronald Reagan was shot at the Washington Hilton, he returned to the same hotel seven more times for various events. He didn't need a new ballroom. Thanks for the history lesson Lawrence O'Donnell.

Another sign that the greatest state is being hamstrung & its families hurt by a generation of failed one-party Republican leadership from @GregAbbott_TX down. Texas ranks among worst states for working moms, study finds statesman.com/news/article/t…

Actually, Iran did sign a nonnuclear deal in 2015 under the leadership of President Obama. You blew it up. Then plunged America into another reckless and costly war of choice in the Middle East.

@jaketapper @joncoopertweets Someone needs to write a book about our batshit crazy leader and the most obvious need by any Congress to remove him from power. The damage increases with each passing day.

A post from the president, 4:05 am ET today:

@clashreport Bravo! Clarity and courage is what our elected leaders need. If they do not understand who our allies are, they have no business being in elected office.

King Charles III: In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the UNSC was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century. Shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

A ruling monarch understands the importance of Madisonian checks and balances but Republicans in Congress do not?

Must read from @cltomlinson: The new GOP is white supremacist and Christian nationalist, telling Texans how to live, what to worship, and who qualifies as Texan. Traditional Republicans need to ask themselves, “Is this really what I want?” link.houstonchronicle.com/view/5c13eddd2…

Republicans in Congress have prioritized Trump’s whims, wishes and desires ahead of the welfare of the American people. Some because they worship him, others because they are afraid to stand up to him. They will pay a heavy price for that at the ballot box in November.

@Redtruckga31638 @SenMarkKelly Share the plan with us, red truck.

@SenMarkKelly Maybe you could start being an example by stopping your ridiculous lies on Social Media, e.g. "The President doesn't have a plan for resolving the Iranian Threat." You know that is a bald face lie, or you too stupid to understand a bona fida plan. Which is it?

I wanted to share a few things on my mind after the horrifying events at the White House Correspondents Dinner over this weekend. An attempt on the president’s life is an awful thing for our democracy. I’m thankful Secret Service and law enforcement responded as quickly as they did before this gunman made it any closer to the president, many of his cabinet members, the press corps, and everyone else in that room. Political violence is a growing problem in our country. It has led to violent acts against Americans and elected officials across the political spectrum. I refuse to accept that this is normal, or that we can’t do anything about it. We have serious disagreements as a country. Some of those disagreements are passionate and personal. For 250 years, we have solved those differences at the ballot box. It’s a big part of what’s great and unique about our form of government. That doesn’t mean we can’t be loud and clear when we think someone has a really bad idea, especially someone with power. That’s what a healthy democracy looks like. We all have the right to speak out about our government. We also all have a moral and patriotic obligation to condemn political violence, no matter if the target is President Donald Trump, State Legislator Melissa Hortman in Minnesota, Charlie Kirk, or anyone else. Here’s how we can turn this around. We talk to each other—in person, away from the social media algorithms that are designed to make us angry and divided. And that’s not just the job of elected officials. Frankly, Washington has a way of making this worse. These conversations start in our neighborhoods, in schools, and at the dinner table. The other thing that has stayed with me is hearing the stories from journalists who were in the room, lying on the ground, texting their loved ones, and fearing for their lives, not yet knowing that the attacker had been stopped. That same experience isn’t unfamiliar to a whole generation of Americans. Far too often, kids are the ones sending those texts to their parents as they hide on the ground in their classrooms during lockdowns because of report of an active shooter, or in the worst instances, a gunman down the hall from or in their classroom. I’ve talked to parents who lost their children to gun violence and will never fully recover, and to kids who are traumatized from losing their friends or witnessing something in a school hallway that I might have seen in war. I know something about that phone call that changes everything. I’ll never forget when my wife, Gabby’s, chief of staff called me on January 8th, 2011, to say Gabby had been shot in the head. That act of violence flipped our world upside down. A week ago, it was family members in Shreveport, Louisiana whose worlds were flipped upside down when eight children were murdered and two others were injured in a shocking act of domestic violence. This was the deadliest mass shooting since January 2024. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. The lax firearms laws that allow criminals, domestic abusers, and the dangerously mentally ill to get access to guns makes all of us less safe. It’s just wrong. I refuse to accept that this should be normal in America and can’t be changed. Since Gabby was shot, I’ve already seen change start to happen.  We know the steps we can take to strengthen gun laws while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. If we do that, and we reject the forces that are trying to divide us, everyone, from the president to our kids, will be safer. These are challenging times, but we’re up for the challenge if we all work on it together.

@SenMarkKelly This is leadership.

U.S. world-famous author Stephen King: “Trump is a tumor in America’s veins. A tyrant who does not hesitate to set a country on fire for his narcissistic ego. No horror story I’ve written could be as terrifying as this man.”
