SFC Koehler reached out to my office to help secure the Purple Heart he earned after years of delay, and I’m so proud that my team and I were able to do so in less than two months. It was my honor to present SFC Koehler with his Purple Heart last week.

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.

RFK Jr. once blamed Trump for the COVID response. Now he blames everyone except Trump. That's what happens when loyalty matters more than truth. Meanwhile, America is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in 35 years. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The Unraveling of RFK Jr.

The HHS Secretary’s disastrous CNN interview spotlights the risks of a presidency that refuses to admit mistakes.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Agreed!!! Senate terms are 6 years, Pres is 4, Representatives are 2... so let's go with the easiest multiple of years at 12. No office or position can be held for more than 12 years. Let's include ALL federal appointments... like, oh, I don't know: SCOTUS? 😏

Question: in America there are so many uninhabited unused buildings, train cars, containers, you name it that could be utilized to solve the homeless problem by a simple cause to converting into living space. Why are politicians and local leaders not advocating for this?

Republicans giving Trump IRS immunity after Capital One closed his bank accounts for money laundering should be a bigger story. How is that not possible????

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

Saw this on a friend's stream. Take time to send a thank you to Dr. Fauci for his 50+ years working as a public servant to keep Americans healthy. They are recommending postcards instead of letters for security purposes. Share!

Term limits and everyone running for office should be held to the same standard of Justice the rest of us are!

Thing is, we need more than just Democrats to vote for the Democratic Party candidate.

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

Stuff like this makes you wonder if we can ever undo all the damage this one single man has done to a country

ICE harassing a child and her family on a Bushwick street. Pepper spraying a 72-year-old woman in Inwood. Abducting a man, taking him to a Lower Manhattan hospital emergency room & threatening a witness. ICE activity is up in NYC. But is it a "surge"?

NYC Sees an 'Uptick' in ICE Activity

And a judge just blocked the mask ban for agents, plus more news for your Tuesday.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

There should be way more investigative journalism going on around the Epstein files like @katiephang.bsky.social does here. I didn't realize how much shocking trafficking stuff was in these files! We need more journalists going under the surface! youtu.be/doEx9cn3stE?...

Texas Republicans know this is the year they lose unless they take active measures to suppress the vote. So that's what they're doing.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.

When you have a Congress that can stay in office when not showing up (e.g. Mitch, Rubio worst absentism!), vote for their raises, work unlimited terms blocking others in their party from getting the party backing, and not really holding themselves to their campaign promises, what have you?

Breaking: ICE has murdered a diabetic man - Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo - by deliberately depriving him of medical care within the inhumane Delaney Hall for-profit prison in Newark, New Jersey.

It's extremely dangerous. Trump is acting with increasing confidence and brazenness. He sounded like a mafia boss when he spoke about Jeanine Pirro, saying she had folded up like an umbrella. America lacks decency.
