OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive — Gaza is being starved by Israel."

Trump: “You know, we've cut drug prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1,500%. I don't mean 50%. I mean 1400, 1,500%”🤡

The dumbest president in American history. And it’s not even close.

I am so damn PROUD of TX Dems for standing up and fighting back!!

But this won’t mean anything if the rest of the country doesn’t back them up.

BLUE STATES! IT’S ON YOU TO MOVE!

No more talk.

Start announcing referendums and special sessions to redistrict the GOP out of existence!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

REPORTER: Do you think the independent redistricting commission should be disbanded?

HOCHUL: Yes. I'm tired with fighting this fight w/ my hand tied behind my back. With all due respect to the good govt groups, politics is a political process. And to think we're gonna do this with a purity test ...

Proud of Dems taking risks to push back against TX Republicans trying to power grab and gerrymandering Dems out of a voice !

Stealing votes is fascism!

Do not obey in advance!

Hochul: "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on."

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

I just need one member of the media to ask Trump how much a $500 drug would cost after a 1500% discount.

The fact that nobody around him has told him this isn’t how numbers work shows you how afraid of him everyone who works for him is.

CNBC: Do you think we are starting to see a real slowdown in the jobs market?

HASSETT: Yeah, I think the jobs numbers were slower than we expected

No one should ever have to wonder if their senator or representative is making choices in Congress just to benefit their own wallet.

There's a clear solution: ban Congressional stock trading.

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.
