What the Trump admin tried to do to this former Olympian by wrongly charging him with damage to the reflecting pool is disgusting.
Maybe next time Trump shouldn’t give a no bid contract to a lackey, and then he wouldn’t have a botched job to cover up.

I asked Mohsen Mahdawi to share why he still wants to be a citizen of the United States, even after all that he’s been through.
Give his answer a listen.
As I said, it was absolutely wrong for Trump's team to do this and they know it.
Can they please just focus on lowering people's costs and bringing the folks who are serving our nation overseas home safely to their families?
We have to stay open to questioning our own assumptions and taking in new perspectives and information.
One mental exercise I do to get in that mindset is to simply ask myself, “What if I’m wrong?”
Republicans in Congress only claim to care about the national debt when we are trying to lower people’s healthcare costs, but then they turn around and vote for record deficit increases without batting an eye.
I’m sick of the hypocrisy.
We’ve got to build more housing, and it needs to be safe, secure, and affordable.
That's why I'm proud to have brought $1 million back from D.C. to the Bridge + Main project in Fairlee.
The super-sized budget Republicans have given to ICE since last year is absurd.
All the while, they’re refusing to take serious action to help lower your costs and cutting taxes for the ultra-rich.
I agree with @repcasar.bsky.social.
This security breach makes crystal clear how dangerous these tools can be without the right guardrails in place.
Big Tech owes us answers.
We keep coming back to this question: why is the Trump admin going to such great lengths to cover the Epstein files up when the American people are demanding their full release?
Todd Blanche shouldn’t be confirmed as attorney general when he’s actively not following the law.
Would we ask an arsonist to be the honored guest at a gala honoring firefighters? No.
But that's exactly what it's like to have Trump be the honored guest at the White House Correspondents Dinner, an event that's about honoring and supporting a free press.
I think it's time for a change.
So, while you and your family are struggling to make ends meet, what is the President and his administration focused on?
Framing a former Olympic canoeist for “tampering” with the Reflecting Pool and "causing" damage that was... already there. It's bleak.
I’m so grateful to @petermorley.bsky.social for shining a light on the cruelty of Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
The impacts are not just theoretical. They’re real.
We need to reverse these cuts at the first opportunity and ensure our government helps our neighbors in need.
The Trump admin has locked up thousands of CHILDREN at the Dilley Trailer Prison. Kids have been fed food with worms and mold and had medical attention delayed, if not denied - all funded by our tax dollars.
I stand in solidarity with my colleagues there today. Shut it down now!
It’s now been more than 6 months since Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, and we still don’t have answers.
We will never forget his story or stop fighting for accountability on his behalf.
Todd Blanche will just do whatever Trump tells him to do. He absolutely should not be confirmed as our nation’s top cop.
Young people are using AI chatbots every day. We need clear rules, research, and accountability for Big Tech companies developing them to make sure they don’t put their profits ahead of our kids.
I'm proud to be introducing the Addictive Design Act so we can take action before it's too late.
There is no good deal you can make with a con man.
Last week, the Trump admin dropped demands for information on New York Times journalists who reported on them and a list of all the Jews who work at the University of Pennsylvania after both institutions resisted.
When we push back, we can win.
Last week, House Republicans passed their THIRD budget bill along party lines.
Does it do anything to lower your costs? Nope!
Instead, it provides over $70 billion more for Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran that nobody wants.
As expected, the Trump admin lied when they said decisions on federal grants were not being made based on whether a state voted for Trump or Harris in 2024.
It’s frankly sickening that Americans are not getting the relief they need from THEIR government based solely on that fact.
President Trump clearly wants fewer people to vote in this country and it’s deeply concerning the lengths to which he’s going to try and make that happen.
If you’re eligible to vote, it should be easy for you to do it - not something our government intentionally makes as hard as possible.
