I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

Um holy shit. Did Ro Khanna really sit down for an interview with far-right influencer Ian Carroll and share a video of it?

This is really fucking bad. What the fuck is going on?

When USAID was dismantled by DOGE, all my friends lost their jobs and millions around the world were cut off from life-saving humanitarian aid.

Trump just bailed out Argentina's crypto dork president to the tune of an entire USAID budget ($20 billion).

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

Thune plays the reasonable moderate, getting the lantern-jawed, steely-eyed-athletic-heartlander benefit of the doubt. But Thune (grandson of immigrants btw), who has been in the Senate for 20 yrs, is really the problem. Because he knows better but covers for the crazies. @profgalloway.com

if Joe Biden had sicced ICE agents on the entire US immigrant population, bombed Venezuelan fishing boats, threatened to annex Greenland, and threatened to ethnically cleanse Gaza, I also would not nominate him for the peace prize.

That was the first postseason series in history to end on a walkoff error.

What a crushing way for any team to end a season.

Bill Buckner might come to mind, but that was only Game 6.
