AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

I just voted yes on the war powers resolution to rein in this President. Trump promised no new wars in the Middle East, and now we're in one with no plan and no end in sight.

I’m ordering flags to be flown at half-staff as we pay our final respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson ahead of his interment this weekend.

Reverend Jackson’s lifetime of lessons and wisdom leaves a righteous path that is well prepared to carry forward his vision of a better world.

I just left a classified briefing on Iran, and here's what I can say: it is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried.

BREAKING: The House just passed SB 5855, Sen. Valdez's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing face coverings.

I look forward to signing it once it reaches my desk.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Becca Balint to Kristi Noem: β€œYou are not above the law. Todd Lyons is not above the law. Nobody working for you is above the lawβ€”

You think you're immune from accountability β€” but I promise you this, one day he’s not going to be president anymore β€” and we are going to continue to prove your guilt”

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN was killed in Kuwait while serving our country. She was an avid gardener who made salsa from peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son. She also loved rollerblading and bicycling with her daughter. Here she is with her husband Joey. πŸ™

Pray this family's nightmare comes to a close swiftly. It's been 31 days since Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped out of her bed in the middle of the night. The uncertainty would be unbearable for the most hardened of men.πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear?

The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.
