I remember he went one time for the cameras while campaigning and tossed a $100 bill to a lady in the checkout to show what a generous guy he was to help buy her groceries.

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."

Chris Murphy: β€œThey have NO plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz β€” a totally foreseeable result of a military action against Iranβ€”

It’s getting worse, not better as Iran is now mining the Strait β€” if the Strait is closed for weeks or months more, that’s a global economic catastrophe”

Veterans across the country told ProPublica that one year into the second Trump administration, it’s become more difficult to get treatment, as hundreds of therapists and social workers have left the VA. Many of them have not been replaced.

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?


REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance

W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?

R: I cannot explain that

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Prices of fertilizers spike due to war with Iran. "...farmers [were] already dealing with high fertilizer prices.... One local Missouri retailer told AgWeb that in just a two-week period: Urea is up $140 per ton, NH3 has risen $100 per ton, UAN is also up $100 per ton.” www.agweb.com/news/policy/...

Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas β€” spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.

"That's just how it is."

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?
The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real β€” and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year β€” including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts β€” and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

6 days in and Trump’s war in Iran has already cost American taxpayers $11.3 BILLION.

Republicans said we couldn't afford to extend the ACA tax credits for 22 million Americans.

Apparently there’s endless money for a war that no one asked for, but nothing to help people afford health insurance.

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done β€” I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.
