The president won’t rule out a pardon for a convicted child sex trafficker and Epstein’s co-conspirator. Says he is allowed to do it. Nothing suspicious about that…
Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: "I'm allowed to do it"
Inflation is again on the rise. Our global alliances are fraying. And the President's name is in the Epstein Files. So... does this make America Great Again?
Meat prices are soaring. The highest ever. Now Trump’s tariffs threaten to raise these costs for families even higher. That’s just … meatheaded.
The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound. abcnews.link/jNi4V9P
Schiff: Either she was fired because she's James Comey's daughter, which would be totally inappropriate and a wrongful termination, or she was fired because she was prosecuting Epstein and his accomplices. And why would they fire her over that? And why would they fire her now?
Republic @Teamsters' jobs are essential for the public and public health. The jobs can also be dangerous. They deserve a fair contract. And Republic can end these strikes by coming to the table with one. It’s time they did.
More than 2,000 Teamsters at Republic Services are currently on strike or actively honoring picket lines nationwide. Trash is going uncollected for millions. And more is to come until Republic Services offers its workers fair contracts.
There he goes again. Playing the greatest hits. More baseless smears. He really wants you to be talking about anything other than his coverup of the Epstein files.
They pushed out or fired people working the disaster assistance lines. And @KristiNoem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until 72 hours after the flooding began. Such tragic malfeasance.
Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, FEMA did not answer calls from thousands of survivors, documents show. nyti.ms/3GFCIhe
When you celebrate the idea of opening new prisons, while closing down hospitals, something seems really off. How about holding off on the celebrations until you lower prices for families? Like you promised.
One of the worst legislative processes I’ve seen. No bill text STILL, almost a trillion out of Medicaid, a subsidy to move a space shuttle to Texas, a statue garden, 4 trillion in debt, random goodies to buy votes. Hospitals will close and kids will go hungry. Trash.
The Big Ugly Bill would be "the biggest job-killing bill in our country’s history." Those aren't my words. Those are the words of @NABTU – representing America’s 3 million construction workers. I stand with labor. And I'm standing strong against this bill.
Today, Senate Republicans are voting to kick millions off their healthcare. Even then, it won’t fund all of their tax cuts for rich people. So they are also increasing the national debt by trillions, raising your energy costs, and more. A big ugly disaster.
The Supreme Court just took away a powerful tool for standing up to a lawless president. Overturning decades of precedent does not make the court, conservative. Far from it. Only dangerously partisan.
Trump: "Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the…
Don’t worry, you can totally trust him on *this* one. Just look at the Ukraine war that was ended on day one, the prices that went down, the tariffs that are definitely working, the 90 trade deals in 90 days…
Trump brazenly lies: "We're cutting $1.7 trillion in this bill and you're not gonna feel any of it. Your Medicaid is left alone. It's left the same."
Scott Brown, the GOP recruit for Senate in New Hampshire, is a top Trump fan. He even said people "don't want" and "don't care about" their Social Security. Today, I'm endorsing @ChrisPappasNH. To keep this critical seat blue – and deliver for New Hampshire. #NHPolitics
It should go without saying that presidents should not be using the office to enrich themselves. Unfortunately, it doesn't. So we need reforms to prevent this type of blatant corruption: schiff.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
Today I introduced a bill to crack down on Trump’s corrupt crypto scheme. No president — or their family — should use their office to get rich at the expense of the American people.
I'm grateful our pilots are safely out of Iran – and I thank them for their bravery. But in the absence of evidence that Iran was imminently breaking out to build a bomb, and without congressional approval, this operation should have never been ordered. To have done so is…
60,000+ in San Diego 10,000+ in San Francisco 3,000+ in Eureka 2,000+ in Fresno The list goes on. This weekend, over a hundred thousand people across California united with a single message: We don't have kings in America. And we never will.
Los Angeles — violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never ok. Indeed, doing so plays directly into the hands of those who seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own gain. Don’t let them succeed.
