Dems have been looking for their message for years, and @AnnieAndrewsMD just did it (in under two minutes). Take note 📝

I just voted against the GOP's partisan ICE/CBP reconciliation bill. I support the men and women who enforce our nation’s immigration laws, but this partisan spending bill is irresponsible and unnecessary. Last year, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security a huge budget increase, with ICE in particular receiving more than seven times its usual appropriation. Given our nation’s already shaky fiscal footing, I see no reason to circumvent the normal annual budget process by throwing tens of billions of dollars at agencies that are already able to cover their costs well into the future. golden.house.gov/media/press…

🚨 WOW! MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski delivers a brutal reality check. She demands the media completely run over Donald Trump's lies and fight back with facts. She warns that failing to do so turns networks into nothing more than state-run mouthpieces for the administration!

ABSOLUTELY. She didn't let him lie. She didn't let him bully. She stood her ground. When he couldn't take the heat and started to leave, she REFUSED to let him go without calling him out for abandoning his duty to answer to the American people. EVERY reporter should see this, and take notes!

Everyone! Let’s give a shoutout to @kwelkernbc, for pushing back on Donald Trump’s false statements and his lies. We need more reporters like her that can push back against Donald Trump’s lies. Thank you Kristen Walker! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Enough is enough. At what point do we stop pretending this is normal? At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable? He has been doing this his entire life. In business. In politics. In the courts. In the Epstein circle. And now, as president of the United States, he uses the most powerful platform in the world to attack women who speak out, women who stand up, women who dare to tell the truth. Look at what he is doing to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her — and instead of accountability, he keeps attacking. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon. And that is exactly the point. This is not just about insults. This is about control. He takes away women’s rights. He attacks women’s credibility. He covers up the Epstein files. He protects the powerful men while attacking the women who survived them. He wants women silent. He wants survivors scared. He wants the country numb. I’m asking a simple question: When is enough finally enough? When do we stand together and say no more? No more letting the media normalize it. No more letting politicians excuse it. No more letting powerful men abuse women and then call themselves victims. No more silence. I am calling on this community — women, men, survivors, parents, citizens, everyone with a conscience — to stand together as one voice. Protect women. Believe survivors. Demand the Epstein files. Hold Trump accountable. And stop supporting any media outlet, politician, or platform that continues to sanitize, excuse, or cover for this madness. Because this is not politics anymore. This is about basic decency. This is about right and wrong. This is about whether we are still willing to stand up for the women of this country against a man who has spent his life degrading them. Enough is enough. It is time to stand up. It is time to speak out. It is time to fight back together.

🚨BREAKING: The American Postal Workers Union (APWU) says it is “deeply alarmed” about the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) new rule created to carry out President Donald Trump’s plans for restricting mail-in voting. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.

This won't touch the current crunch either way. First oil from ANWR is around 2031 at the earliest, and EIA projects a peak near 880,000 barrels a day in 2041. Demand for the leases has been thin too. The last Arctic Refuge sale in January 2025 drew zero bidders. It's a 2030s-and-beyond question with nothing to offer gas prices today.

Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water. Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate. Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again. So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway. That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it. This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet. Who should make that call?

Wow! @SenatorLujan just completely torched Scott Bessent and Donald Trump for their corruption. "President Trump's sons signed a deal, as you know, with World Liberty Financial with a bunch of folks you sanctioned. And now, as part of this, there's an addendum that says President Trump and his kids and anyone affiliated with him, I don't know if it's current wives, former wives, people that just did transactions with him, they're off scot-free... You're telling me as the Secretary of U.S. Treasury, you don't know that the President of the United States, who I think you work for, got a sweetheart deal from the Department of Justice, who's your lawyer. You're in line for the Presidents, Scott. "Here's a list of all the insider trading right here... You should apologize to the American people for fleecing them and giving this a way to Donald Trump, man. That's what you should do."

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum. And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them. And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana. Not cattle. Bison. Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana. The reason? Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock under a 1934 law. Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine. Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out. Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land. For $1.69 a month. One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69. On land that belongs to every American. The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes — 50 Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife. They all filed formal protests. They called it exactly what it is. "DEI for cows." The bison have until September 30 to be gone. Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do? #DemsUnited

1/2 I'm sick of hearing Trump supporters say something along the lines of, "How you all feel about Donald Trump is how we felt about Obama!" That's bullsh*t. Most of them hated Obama for two main reasons. 1. He's a Democrat 2. Because he's half Black When Obama was in office, Republicans went after him for the dumbest crap I've ever seen. I saw segments mocking him shopping for Christmas gifts for his daughter. There was one where they belittled him for wearing a helmet while riding a bike. They pushed conspiracies about whether or not he was an American that were completely unfounded. They called him a Muslim, even though he had a well-documented history of Christian church attendance — unlike Trump. Many still believe Michelle Obama is actually a man and called her a communist for trying to encourage Americans to work out more and eat healthier. You know, what Trump supporters today call "MAHA," proving, once again, that they don't really have any real values other than opposing whatever Democrats support. Then we can't forget the unforgivable — tan suit. No president will ever do something as scandalous as wearing a tan suit. Yes, it's normal for Republicans to oppose a Democrat. But don't even try to compare why we all oppose Trump to how Republicans were against Obama. Obama never publicly and personally attacked judges when they ruled against him. Obama didn't sue his own IRS, of which he is the executive, for $10 billion, only to have his Department of Justice "settle" the lawsuit for $1.8 billion in a slush fund he planned to personally control. Obama didn't name his personal attorney the acting attorney general. Obama didn't defend the killing of unarmed American citizens by federal agents, labeling those unarmed Americans as "domestic terrorists." Obama didn't sue universities that taught material that he disagreed with. Obama didn't sue media outlets for reporting stories about him he didn't like. Obama didn't gut funding for medical research. Obama didn't appoint his top political donor, and the richest man in the world, to a very powerful position within our government. Obama never tried to put his name on U.S. currency, get a new piece of currency produced depicting his face, put his face on passports, put banners of himself on government buildings, or push for the construction of ballrooms or arches he wants named after himself. Obama didn't even come up with "Obamacare," that was Republicans trying to slander the former president. The bill's actually the Affordable Care Act. So, even his signature piece of legislation, he didn't name after himself. But Trump did name his online prescription site and child savings accounts after himself. Obama didn't constantly call for media personalities to be fired for criticizing him. Obama didn't have his FCC go after networks for not firing those individuals. Obama didn't order the Department of Justice to go after his enemies. Obama didn't fire attorneys general for not bowing down and doing everything he told them. He damn sure didn't call files related to child predators a "total hoax," as Trump's called the Epstein files. Obama wasn't out blatantly manipulating the markets and engaging in insider trading. Obama didn't accept a $400 million plane from Qatar he then used hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars to fix up, which he plans to take with him when he leaves office. Obama didn't call elections that didn't go his party's way "rigged." Obama didn't order "blue states" to unethically redraw congressional maps, trying to give Democrats an advantage in midterm elections. Obama didn't constantly attack our allies while kissing the ass of dictators like Vladimir Putin. Obama didn't start a war with Iran he promised he wouldn't start. Obama didn't run up record deficits, he actually reduced them. Obama didn't try to take over the Kennedy Center and put his name on it.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections… He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments. That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you. It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity. He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar. Credit - Mathew Reed

BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented. Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with. "So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir. "Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media. "Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't. "A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media. "Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage. And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'" HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass. And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments. There is simply NO comparison! Please like and share!

Honestly Pete, #Rubio is just trying to defend the indefensible. It is what @Republicans have been doing since 2020 election! They refuse to believe what @Liz_Cheney warned them of in 2021. @AP

I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.” It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home. Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.

I really miss this kind of America. Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford ran against each other in 1976. When Ford passed away, Carter gave the eulogy at his funeral. When Carter passed away, Ford’s son Steve spoke at Carter’s funeral. Barack Obama and John McCain ran against each other in 2008. When McCain passed away, Obama gave the eulogy at his funeral. They disagreed. They debated. They fought hard for what they believed in. But at the end of the day, they still saw each other as human beings. As Americans. That is the part we have lost. Somewhere along the way, disagreement turned into hatred. Politics turned into teams. And people forgot that respect does not mean you agree with someone on everything. I still believe we can get back to this. Not because it will be easy. Not because everyone will suddenly think the same. But because America is supposed to be better than this. Bipartisan respect used to be possible. And someday, I pray we remember how to do it again. 🇺🇸💙
