Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."

Today, the Senate passed the ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill to expand the housing supply and make housing more affordable.

I was proud to vote for this bill championed by @warren.senate.gov.

The House must pass this vital reform without delay.

Kyiv.
Today, we opened the window wide for the first time this year.
Victory (still a cat) was happy.
Don’t worry, the window has a cat safety screen.

Spring is in the air.

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

A medieval-looking castle hidden in Kyiv.

Built in 1908 for neurologist Mykhailo Lapinsky, this neo-Gothic building was once one of the tallest in the city.

Ukraine is actively protecting our troops and Russia is actively helping Iran target them.

But every single time he's tested, Trump sides with Putin. It's the most consistent he is on any topic. No matter what they do, Trump is on Team-Russia.

At this point it really doesn't matter why.

Materials released over the weekend by the Texas DPS regarding a homeland security officer’s killing of 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez last March in Texas appeared to provide the latest evidence that federal agents have misled the public about the circumstances surrounding fatal shootings.

That's sort of the way it's supposed to work. They're supposed to represent what we want. We let then know what we want thru various means such as phone calls, letters, protests, and social media.

Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."

Justice Department’s Ed Martin faces disciplinary proceedings from the D.C. Bar Last month, Martin was demoted and sidelined within the administration. If he thought that was the worst of his troubles, he’s now learning otherwise.

MS NOW confirms: Far-right activist Ed Martin is facing an ethics investigation from the D.C. Bar.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel β€” the enforcement arm for the local DC Bar β€” alleges that Martin violated ethics rules in early 2025 by making threats against Georgetown University Law Center.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
