Nah, it's for the little boys, Zuckerberg and Musk. Weren't they supposed to have a little cat fight?

At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years, Trump's big ugly bill is utterly shameful.

It’s now up to us to make sure Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

No one voted to kick 17 MILLION people off their health care.

No one voted to RAISE the cost of groceries.

No one voted to give handouts to BILLIONAIRES.

Donald Trump and Republicans just sold out working people.

This is a gut punch — but we will NOT stop fighting back.

The number of #Parkland survivors sharing that they have survived yet another shooting at #FSU breaks my heart to the core.

Only in America.

As we await verified reports of the tragedy at Florida State, let’s hold the entire community in our thoughts.

A tweet by Max Burns (@themaxburns ) reads: "From the U.S. Holocaust Museum: 'What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.' Welp."

Never forget.

Does Pete Hegseth care that he put the lives of our servicemembers at greater risk? It's unacceptable.
 
Everyone in that Signal chat needs to lose their jobs.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Kamala was right - about everything. Just like Hillary before her.
