Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.…
Hunter attacking someone for dining out on their association with an elected official is the clearest case of lacking self-awareness that I've ever seen. Who's served by this interview? It confirms what everyone thinks of him, is an embarassment to his family & helps Trump.
Hunter Biden calls out the Pod Save America team as "four white millionaires dining out on their association with Barack Obama from 16 years ago" as he outlines his issues with the greater Democratic establishment
Someone please make it stop!
This has been the second most humid summer in DC on record (since 1945) based on the number of hours with dew points over 70 degrees or the level considered GROSS.
This race is on my radar and should be on yours too. Jessica has experience, judgement, and Colorado common sense. She will make this a competitive race when we need every House win we can get. You can contribute at killinforcolorado.com/win
Wow — we raised over $750,000 in the first 24 hours of my campaign to represent Colorado’s 5th Congressional District! I’m so grateful for this incredible outpouring of support. This early momentum shows that folks in our community are ready for real leadership and real results.
Update: there will be no reckoning from Congressional Republicans.
Sen TILLIS on the Senate floor says he will support the rescissions bill, but says, "If we find out that some of these programs that we've communicated should be out of bounds, that advisors to the President decide that they're going to cut anyway, then there will be a reckoning…
Let’s get something straight. Showing “courage” only after you decide not to run for re-election or when your vote wouldn’t change the outcome isn’t courage at all. @SenThomTillis represents the worst of politics. Weakness, hypocrisy, selling out his constituents.
One of my favorite gospel performances by an absolute legend.
“When I Rose This Morning” lead singer Mama Mosie Burks — a lead vocalist of the Mississippi Mass Choir — has died her family says. She was 92.
🚨IT'S HAPPENING. New news: A medical clinic in a 900-person town in Nebraska is CLOSING DOWN Why: The forthcoming cuts to Medicaid. The GOP did this ⬇️
Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….
McGovern: "So I say to my Republican colleagues -- what's wrong with you people? In this bill you provide a $2 billion tax break for gun silencers, but you cut SNAP benefits for vulnerable families. Jesus Christ!"
"'For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we…
Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful. What would Jesus do about this “Big Beautiful Bill”? I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.
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.
This is a load of BS. If she would have voted no, it would have protected Alaska and the rest of the country.
NEW: Sen. Lisa Murkowski stares me down for more than 10 secs after I ask her to respond to Sen. Rand Paul’s critique of the deal she struck to get her to a YES and pass the OBBB. “Do I like this bill? No. But I tried to take care of Alaska’s interests.” w/ @frankthorp

Bill Moyers and Sargent Shriver are heroes of mine. We need more public servants like them.

Here are the lessons from Tuesday: 1. Be authentic 2. Focus on affordability & quality of life issues 3. Effectively use short-form video & don’t spend all of your money on TV ads that are tested to death. 4. Have the good sense to run against an out-of-touch sexual harasser.
Republicans know their bill is terrible politics and terrible policy. Instead of making it better they are trying to delay the impact so someone else pays the electoral price.
🚨BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans are considering delaying a politically explosive Medicaid cut as they look for ways to win over GOP moderate holdouts threatening the massive reconciliation bill. The discussions come as Senate Republican leaders are trying to ratchet up the…
