I will say again: if you charge people a fee for the privilege of tearing this thing down, you will be able to fund all of the Democratic priorities. I’d pay $100 and wait in line to hit that thing with a sledgehammer until my arms got tired. And I am not alone.

I hope everyone takes a good hard look at this picture. Trump’s under-construction ballroom is now bigger than the rest of the White House. Much bigger. The contrast says everything you need to know about this President and his priorities.

Another Epstein files discharge petition reached the 218 vote threshold today, meaning a vote on the followup Epstein Files Transparency Act II bill could be forced later this month.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the smallest bar in Mississippi?

If Mississippi elects a Democratic Senator, I am going to fly down there, walk into a bar, and buy everyone a beer.

People keep talking about how just it is that Hyde-Smith blocked Colom’s judicial appointment and now he put her out of a job. But no one should forget why she blocked his appointment. He stood his ground on gender-affirming care and he won MISSISSIPPI.

The new Democratic Congress will try to do something Republicans seem to have forgotten about: keeping our promises to the American people. That means working to lower costs, stop corruption, and end Trump's war with Iran.

There will be SEVEN Black Senators next year: Scott Colom Tim Scott Cory Booker Raphael Warnock Lisa Blunt Rochester Angela Alsobrooks Juliana Stratton The most in Senate history

My dad was a WWII Purple Heart veteran, and I led the Veterans Affairs Committee as thousands of wounded troops came home from Iraq & Afghanistan. I know the cost of war. It’s never “small potatoes,” like Trump says. I’ll be fighting to END Trump’s war with Iran.

Pete Hegseth, a dangerous failure and disgrace, has a lot to answer for. An illegal war with Iran. More than 100 children killed at their school in Minab. Civilians executed without trial in the Caribbean. None of this gets swept under the rug.

Aaron, I love your work, but I wish you had just posted it in the original German: Befehl ist Befehl.

NEWS: Trump’s Pentagon has lost track of $31 billion in F-35 parts and the government’s own watchdog says they’ve barely lifted a finger to fix it despite multiple warnings. This administration is too stupid to count its own fighter jet parts and too corrupt to care.

Hegseth hadn't addressed reporters at the Pentagon since May. Not when a Navy commander was killed in a helicopter crash in the Arabian Sea on July 1. Or when three U.S. soldiers were killed in an Iranian missile attack on a base in Jordan on July 17. He waited until he needed to defend himself.
