In the first term some talked quietly about their displeasure with Trump and dislike. This term I really haven’t heard anything, but I really haven’t saw it out either.
Trump’s meeting with Zelensky was a disgrace—likely a Putin setup. It never should’ve been televised. Trump brags about “holding the cards,” but the only one there was a Joker. He’s unfit—emotionally, intellectually, and morally. As the war continues, the blood will be on Trump and Vance’s hands.
Zelensky, I feel sorry for his having to deal with two Putin puppets. He says Zelensky doesn’t have the cards. Or Trump doesn’t have the king card he has the joker card.
Trump is not a deal maker. Trump is a deal dictator. And Vance is a pipsqueak auditioning for 2028. Every death from this day forward Russian or Ukrainian is at the feet of Trump and Vance. Why was Vance even in the meeting?

The same Trump who cut funding for USAID anti sex-trafficking programs, the same one photographed with Epstein multiple times, has now allegedly helped the Tate brothers—accused sex traffickers—escape justice in Romania. That's who they protect. Anyone think they'll be returning to stand trial?
I was dispirited when I read of Gene Hackman's passing this morning. I was extra in The Firm, which was filmed in Memphis, and Hackman was approachable and friendly as can be. You could feel his warmth as a human being.

Republicans want to give a $4 TRILLION tax cut to Musk, Trump, and their billionaire base. And they want to pay for it by gutting programs for families, kids and people with disabilities. Cruelty & corruption on full display. I voted NO on their spending bill. More here ⬇️

Why would Elon Musk name his shady political company “United States of America Inc.”? Seems like a dead giveaway for his vision: He thinks he is buying the government and will own our country. Where does that leave the rest of us? We're digging deeper on this. What the hell is he up to?
These 21 civil servants refused to be complicit in gutting critical public services. They walked away from their jobs rather than let Musk’s DOGE team dismantle support for millions of Americans. That’s integrity. That’s patriotism. We need more of it. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
What a disgrace. The Trump Admin. sided with Putin at the UN yesterday—a dictator, an animal who murders innocents and steals children. He doesn't deserve an ounce of American support. And who has Trump aligned us with? Russia, North Korea, Iran, Belarus... the worst of the worst. Embarrassing.

Thanks to the 7800+ who joined my town hall tonight. We had important discussions on the chaos under Trump—threats to Social Security & Medicare, the confusion he’s caused for federal workers & more—and on the work being done to fight back. I’ll never give up, and I’ll always speak truth to power.
