I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

It is wildly inappropriate for the Trump Admin to go after its political critics like this—let alone heroes like Sen. Kelly.

Kelly is a patriot who has always put our American democracy first and always supported our servicemembers and the rule of law.

Something neither Trump or Hegseth can say.

Donald Trump’s reckless and unconstitutional operations in Venezuela—including this morning’s arrest of a foreign leader—are not about enforcing law and order.

If they were, he wouldn’t hide them from Congress.

This is a lie. We blocked Trump’s troop deployment to Chicago.

The Supreme Court even ruled Trump would have been breaking the law had he deployed them on our streets.

I’m relieved our patriotic troops are finally heading home to their families after Trump unlawful deployment.

The research linking alcohol to breast cancer is deadly solid: Alcohol, regardless of whether it’s in Everclear or a vintage Bordeaux, is carcinogenic.
Drinking may have given me cancer. The alcohol industry has worked hard to downplay it.
The science is clear that alcohol raises the risk of breast cancer, but boozemakers have downplayed the link.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Beatings. Sexual assault. Psychological abuse.

These are some of the horrors endured by the more than 250 men the United States sent to El Salvador on flimsy evidence of gang membership by the United States.

Remarkable, the Florida high school guidelines have 9 pages of objectives for "world history", 12 pg for "US civics and government", but a full 30 pages of requirements for "history of communism" as a separate topic (and less white space/page than other topics). Just obsessed with communism. 🤪
Florida’s Social Studies standards are getting another update next month.

No, those terrible African American History standards will stay, but there’s a huge update to our Anti-Communism education.

I was honored to give the keynote speech at the Democracy in Saudi Arabia Summit.

The Saudi Crown Prince is trying to whitewash his regime’s tyranny by weaponizing pop culture against his citizens.

We must not launder MBS’ regime and that includes entertainers.

1/2 Trump admin cancelled the Census Scientific Advisory Committee

The scientists met anyway
On their own time. As an independent board

They reviewed & approved 26 reccs on issues like
🔏 ensuring respondents' privacy

A Trump executive order directed the cancellation of “unnecessary” councils that advise on agency operations.

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT.

And they want to vote on it TODAY.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.
