“Minutes after voting for $300 MILLION for private school vouchers, Senate Republicans voted to cut $43 MILLION for diapers for needy families.”😳
Welcome to @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP supermajority’s Tennessee, folks. A budget is a moral document.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Kevin Warsh won't commit to defending Lisa Cook's position on the Fed

NEW: Common Cause, ACLU, CREW and other pro-voting groups sued the DOJ to stop it from building a national voter database using private voter data from every state.
They called the effort a bid "to take over elections from states and subvert the...midterms" and a threat to Americans' voting rights.
And for $20 million you can buy the naming rights to "wife of LA Clippers owner Steve Balmer"

Ten years ago, when we lost Prince, thousands of Minnesotans filled the streets singing “Purple Rain.” A hometown star who had a way of bringing us together—and still does.
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

WATCH: Trump lies to CNBC that Biden left inflation at 5% — it was 3 🤥

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
@marcelias.bsky.social, the great Democratic legal fighter for democracy, on me:
"We need more people like this guy in Congress…This guy's a fighter. And he's not just saying he's a fighter, he's got the receipts, because he has gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and the Republicans for years now...
