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?

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.

What country are we living in where the Vice President says he only disagrees with “some” of a staffer’s racist posts? What part of them does he agree with? JD Vance says it shouldn’t ruin a kid’s life, but these posts were made in 2024. He wasn’t a “kid” then, and he isn’t one now.

Prices are up, inflation is up. Trump’s attention should NOT be on taking over the Kenedy Center—he should be 100% focused on the economy. Stop going to the glitter and fulfill your promises to the financially stressed.

I missed your tweets and knew you moved to blue sky cause I love your commentary, but I’m concerned with your last tweet about your limitation on 60 seconds. Please don’t leave. It took me all day to remember how to find you. A fan I’m OK

Trump and Elon Musk keep making things up. 🚫 $3B for a football stadium? False. 🚫 40% pay raise for Congress? False. 🚫$50M for Hamas condoms? False. Not even on the right continent. This isn’t just ignorance—it’s reckless disinformation, and they're using it to justify tearing our government down.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 12(source)

Some say Elon Musk is a genius. He is using a sledgehammer to cut government programs. A genius would use a scalpel. A gorilla would use a sledgehammer. Watch my remarks here ⬇️

Trump wasted water meant for farmers just to pull a PR stunt. It was reckless, absurd, and accomplished nothing. Taking shortcuts to pretend you're solving a problem doesn’t just lead to failure—it can make things much worse. That’s the Trump admin in spades. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Trump dumped these farmers’ water. They’d rather not talk about it.

President Donald Trump followed through on his promise to unleash California’s water — only the water he released belonged to the very farmers he’d promised to help.

Failed first term felon Trump on top of being a serial liar, fraud, abuser, draft dodger, failed businessman, global warming denial, and proven racist.... Trump is a hypocritical decades-long user/abuser of the immigrant labor force.

apnews.com/article/trum... Africa gets USAID money from our Pepfar program, which has done miraculous work in saving people in So. Africa from AIDS /HIV. Started by George W Bush,it is considered our finest aid program. Stopped because of Musk. People are dying in So.Africa because of Musk.

How Trump's pledge to punish South Africa reflects Musk's criticism of his homeland

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will cut all funding to South Africa over what he called a massive human rights violation.
