OR…we can tax every one equally.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

Agree

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

Woof

So the cankles guy wandering around on the roof shouting about nukes doesn’t have to give health updates?

Any public input ?

These details were first reported by Senator Durbin, and then me five days prior to the NYT. But I’m glad it’s getting the attention it deserves. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Yes we can have our own Plan

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son.

Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice.

From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Let's elevate the fighters:

Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador
Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption
Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees
Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans
Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Grateful to my friend and MD colleague @ChrisVanHollen for traveling to El Salvador to try to check on Abrego Garcia’s condition. We will not let up the pressure on the self-proclaimed dictator of El Salvador or the aspiring dictator here. We will continue the fight to bring Abrego Garcia home.

One that one can’t afford

BREAKING: the heroes at Susman Godfrey sue the Trump administration over the illegal retaliation against them

They have more integrity in their pinky finger than these other firms that have been capitulating have in their entire partnerships

And kudos to the team at Munger for representing them

Airline seeks 'energetic, highly motivated' flight attendants to staff new Mesa base. The flights are part of deportation efforts. Avelo Airlines signed an agreement to fly for ICE to "support the department's deportation efforts," the company told 12News.

Greed at its worst ! How do these people live with themselves ? Will they even care if the wrong people are deported ?
