Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Why couldn't Senator Van Hollen just bring Mr. Garcia back with him to the United States? The El Savadoran president would have to "smuggle" him back into the U.S. and the Felon 47 administration won't get hit with contempt of Supreme Court charges. Win-win.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement,

If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey.

The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV...

...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country.

The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

They want to imprison anyone for burning down a Tesla.

For 20 years.

How much for burning down the stock market?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

I wish more Americans had enough self-respect to be offended when a politician constantly lied to them for an entire decade.

DOGE is actually INCREASING the deficit.

It has cut only a small fraction of what it’s claimed to cut.

And it’s cutting the IRS and CFPB — both of which GAIN revenue for the government.

So DOGE is a money loser — except for Elon Musk, who profits off fat government contracts.
