Narrator: It was not, in fact, paying down the debt, which keeps getting higher.

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

A simple question: Does the Justice Department work for the American people? Or does it serve Donald Trump? The record of Todd Blanche answers it for them. #BlockBlanche #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

1/ 🧵 The Trump administration has spent over a year blaming immigrants for healthcare fraud. Well, blaming immigrants for everything. The government's own inspector general report tells a very different story, and immigrants are not mentioned in it once. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

1/ Republicans are running a psych operation on Democrats. They warn us not to nominate populists. But leaked GOP memos prove they’re actually terrified of populist candidates. Trump said it himself: Bernie was the one he didn’t want to face. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The most absurd thing is Tillis is going to vote for him. He calls out the worst corruption I history and then he will vote to continue it. Tillis is a coward. So glad he is leaving. Voting the rest out is the only way to end it. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Av8R0OoolR52...

Trump no longer lives in reality. He lives in a Fake world where he can do no wrong and everyone calls him “Sir” and thinks he’s great. This should be enough for the 25th but do to his cult here we are. We are stuck with an insane psycho. #ProudBlue##Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AAG1nfIKVRxq...

Nothing says fiscal responsibility like exploding the deficit for rich tax breaks, then letting sequestration carve Medicare. Seniors pay more while corporations win. Big Beautiful approach: cut access, hike costs, call it reform. Elderly noticing yet? #RepublicanMedicareCuts

Republicans keep defending their healthcare record as seniors receive rising Part D cost notices. They promised not to touch Medicare—then their deficit-exploding bill did it through automatic cuts and ending subsidies. Seniors are collateral damage. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

Nothing protects seniors quite like AI prior authorization and rising out-of-pocket costs. Republicans promised hands off Medicare, then their bill triggered the automatic cuts. The elderly get the efficiency; donors get the relief. Flawless. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

What Cornyn is saying actually coincides with the thinking of every Republican I’d expect. Every Republican is okay with making a claim in any instance, knowing that the lack of integrity is acceptable amongst them all. Proclaim the best but have no real qualms when the worst occurs. Just an oops.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

I’m sorry, isn’t this guy always yapping about the financial markets? The ones that are on Wall Street? In New York City? You know, probably the bluest city in the country?

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
