Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

OK. Enough with the 2024 election was stolen bullshit. Way too many people would rather believe the biggest conspiracy in 100 years than the fact that white men and women voted for a rapist.

Translation Thune has enough votes to confirm & she is trying to save her seat

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

Capitol One shut down 300 accounts belonging to Trump because they were flagged for potential money laundering. That was 2021. Imagine if this were Biden. How would America react? But yes "liberal media."

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Free idea for US Democratic Senators and Representatives Censure trump. In that censure LIST EVERYTHING he's done. Find a way to get it to the floor and read it aloud. Make the Republicans fight this. Make them defend trump.

Sen. WELCH: The President is abusing his authority. The Senate is failing to use our authority. We can stop capitulating today by doing our job and rejecting a completely unqualified man to be the top law enforcement official in this country. I will vote no on Todd Blanche.

Survivors have been on Capitol Hill for months, courageously sharing their stories and demanding accountability. The Senate must listen. Todd Blanche is unfit to serve as our next Attorney General. Every Senator should vote NO.

Schiff: "This is someone who has violated his code of ethics blatantly, misled this committee, supported establishment of a fund for cop beaters, covered up docs implicating president in the Epstein files, use DOJ to enrich the president. Is this who we're prepared to confirm as AG? It appears so."

Durbin: "Mr Blanche has aided and abetted the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States ... Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about he statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

It says something unflattering about our country that so many Americans are not concerned that the nation’s president is a money launderer who rapes both adults and children.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Let’s be clear about one thing. The people who were prosecuted and convicted related to January 6 were shit bags. They were always shit bags. They always will be shit bags.

And give the choice of having Ai implemented into your private emails, files, photos, etc Not automatically installing it, choosing it to be installed. Hunting to find "no share" options deeply into any service, is a slap in the face to consumers. Also, stop destroying books for Ai Regulations now

Respectfully ma'am, it's past time - far past - we *regulate* AI so it stops destroying our environment, our education, our jobs, our history and our society.
