MAGA can’t feed their families. But they owned the libs. MAGA with measles and liver damage. MAGA with whooping cough. Oh well, owned the libs. MAGA can't afford a car due to tariffs. But they owned the libs. MAGA losing their jobs. Owning the libs. Economy crashing, looming recession. Owned those libs. I’ll say it again. The felon knew which voters he could con. #DemsUnited

BREAKING: Elon Musk announced that DOGE will be investigating people who have had their wealth compounded while working for the Federal Government. This is HUGE! Now you know why Democrats are sweating over this. Piggy banks are drying up!

Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney took a jab at billionaire Elon Musk's U.S. citizenship in a post on social media Wednesday. Cheney criticized Musk after he posted about the former lawmaker's earlier career with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The USAID has made headlines this week after the Trump Administration announced it was gutting the program. The USAID, established in 1961, tackled epidemics, fought global food insecurities, funded education, and has played a pivotal role in U.S. foreign policy. On its website this week, the agency announced that all direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave, "with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs," the website said. Earlier Wednesday, Musk reposted a comment from Mike Benz, the executive director for the Foundation For Freedom Online, speaking on Cheney's history with the USAID saying, "Liz Cheney, who led Trump's impeachment and the mass imprisonment campaign against thousands of Trump supporters, was spawned out of USAID." Musk reposted it saying, "Interesting." In response to Musk, Cheney said, "Damn right, @Elon. I'm proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren't yet an American citizen."Musk was born in South Africa and lived there for nearly two decades before emigrating to Canada alongside his family. Musk then lived in the United States while attending the University of Pennsylvania. Musk became a U.S. citizen in 2002, according to his biography written by Walter Isaacson.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries just introduced legislation to protect the American people’s Treasury Department data from DOGE employees and Elon Musk. This is massive.

Samantha Power, who was in charge of USAID, has been fired. She isn’t very happy about it. Play the world’s smallest violin for her.

I support this. @ElonMusk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

NEW: Sen. @brianschatz says he will place a “blanket hold” on all of Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running again

⚠️ Happening Now: Major outbreak of H5N9 Bird Flu in 119,000 birds in California. POTUS Trump has now put a gag order on federal agencies, but foreign health agencies are alerting us. Once again, our government is concealing critical information from us under Donald Trump.

While food prices rise and the H5N9 Bird Flu ravages our poultry industry, Donald Trump is golfing on vacation again today. He couldn't even make it through one week of being President before having to take a break. Low Energy!

After careful consideration, I have decided to vote against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense. While I appreciate his courageous military service and his ongoing commitment to our servicemembers and their families, I am concerned that he does not have the experience and perspective necessary to succeed in the job. Our military is under tremendous pressure right now. Active conflicts in the Middle East and Europe combined with escalating threats in the Pacific, all against a backdrop of severe financial challenges and four years of ineffective leadership by the Biden Administration, make this an especially critical time for those who lead our military. The next Secretary of Defense will be responsible for managing a massive bureaucracy that includes nearly three million employees and a budget of nearly $850 billion. In addition, our next Secretary faces long-standing procurement and supply issues that continued to worsen under the Biden Administration. In sum, the Secretary is going to be facing a number of incredibly complex problems that are going to require highly skilled management ability. I am concerned that Mr. Hegseth does not have the management experience and background that he will need in order to tackle these difficulties. His limited managerial experience involved running two small non-profit organizations that had decidedly mixed results. I am also concerned about multiple statements, including some in the months just before he was nominated, that Mr. Hegseth has made about women serving in the military. He and I had a candid conversation in December about his past statements and apparently evolving views. I am not convinced that his position on women serving in combat roles has changed. Women comprise nearly 18 percent of our active-duty military. They continue to make critical and valuable contributions to our national defense. I have long advocated that women who wish to serve in and can meet the rigorous standards of combat roles should be able to do so. And numerous women have proved that they can accomplish this difficult feat. Currently, thousands of women are serving in combat roles and many others serve in non-combat functions. Their service is essential to the success of our military. Mr. Hegseth also appears to lack a sufficient appreciation for some of the policies that the military is required to follow because they are codified in the laws of the United States of America. While I understand his points on the importance of up-to-date and workable rules of engagement, our prohibitions against torture come from American laws and treaties ratified by the United States, including the Geneva Conventions. Therefore, I will vote against the nomination.

Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor Center today were a reminder that neither lies nor the liar who tells them get better with age. The Select Committee evidence is available on multiple websites and, as a criminal defendant, Donald Trump has had access to all the transcripts for years. Remember Trump’s character: He sat in his dining room watching on television as his supporters attacked our Capitol and brutally assaulted law enforcement. For hours, he refused to instruct the mob to leave. The truth will never change.
