AFL–CIO President: We’re taking this bus across the country to highlight what’s happening with these cuts we just saw in the worst job-killing bill in history. This bus is going to show up everywhere. We’ll be outside VA hospitals and grocery stores, showing how these SNAP cuts will impact families.

Trump says he has no plans to call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the targeted shootings:

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling. Why would I call him? … The guy doesn't have a clue. He's a mess. So I could be nice and call him, but why waste time?"

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

There is absolutely no reason for a Senate Democrat to vote for a shady crypto bill that will make the likes of Trump family richer. It will be an ugly betrayal of the basic values of the Democratic Party and folks who voted for them.

Call the Sen tomorrow 202-224-3121 - Say NO to dumb GENIUS act.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · May 12

President Trump's crypto corruption is so bad the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board agrees with me.

In their words, it appears to be a "conflict of interest in selling access to the President."

Congress cannot pass crypto legislation without putting a stop to this.

The Administration will regulate the tokens the Trumps are selling.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

The administration argues that it cannot release its plans for mass firing of federal employees because the plans are super embarrassing

Trump administration tells court publicly releasing its mass layoff plans would hurt recruiting and retention

A judge's order pausing those layoffs is having varying effects at agencies, with at least one temporarily undoing RIF actions.

this is a bit of meta-analysis here, but one of the benefits of members of Congress engaging in direct challenges to the administration is they become personally implicated and pissed off at how they are treated. And that’s good! They should be!

“They feel no weight of the law & no restraint. That was shown in broad daylight when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? TO ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.” 🔥
