Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

No reason to think I’m not. Been on his case since 2016 protested his inauguration both 17 and 25 and his entire term and 17 to 21 and have not gotten off his case

Oh, I’m so sorry. I took a few hours off to watch a show that commemorates 50 years of the best show on television that was a part of my growing up and is a phenomenal show. may i please have your forgiveness. When it’s over and before I go to bed, I will think of three more ways to work against 47

I volunteered with the Democratic media crew to do Fox News. That gets the message to those who needed but also gets a lot of hateful phone calls to my office.

The cartoon that ran in the commercial appeal the week or two after I did my commercial. I did not have the arrow through my head nor the bunny ears, but they were all Steve Martin and I did have the white suit.

In ‘78,running for county commissioner,I did the only SNL political ad.Ran on SNL WEEK before election. Host was Steve Martin and I dressed in a white suit,”if you’re fed up with the same, not quite ready for primetime leadership that’s held us back for years. You gotta do something different,vote..

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

As someone who had polio, I take personal offense at Donald Trump questioning Senator McConnell’s experience with polio. Mitch McConnell HAD polio. Did anyone other than Trump‘s dad‘s doctor friend think he had bone spurs?

JD Vance lecturing Europe on free speech is not the power move he thinks it is. Europe lived through Nazism the Holocaust & communism—losing generations to tyranny. Now as they fight rising hate speech, he scolds them instead of standing with them. Bad first impression on the world diplomatic stage.

Opinion | Susan Collins and Her Cowardly Caucus Bow Down to Trump

No nominee — not Kennedy, not Gabbard — is a provocateur too far for Senate Republicans.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 14(source)

RFK Jr. is now in charge of our nation’s health policy. A vaccine denier. A conspiracy peddler. A man who has spent years undermining public health and endangering lives. It's an outright betrayal of science and common sense. The Senate put public health in jeopardy by confirming him. Shameful.
