Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

Last month, inflation rose again — the most in four years.
Americans are feeling the costly impacts of Trump’s war in Iran.
He’s broken his promise to lower costs for people again and again.

In Donald Trump’s America, the rich get tax cuts, the well-connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart.
And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.
The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

I will vote for the Presidential candidate who campaigns on reversing Citizens United, taxing corporations and the wealthy the same percentage as the middle class, and establishing Medicare for all. I will vote twice for the same Presidential candidate who comes through on these promises.

It just dawned on me: if they pass the "Save His Ass Act," it will be easier to buy a gun in America than it is to vote. You need to show less ID to buy a gun than to vote.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.
You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.
Stop hiding behind voters.
Stop punting responsibility.

DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.

For over 8 million Americans, Trump wants to collect:
"Medical and pharmaceutical claims, diagnoses, treatments, visit length, provider information, doctor’s notes or after-visit summaries..."
All "with identifying information, such as names and birth dates"
