@lisamurkowski Based on your votes for Gabbard and Kennedy (and presumably Patel), it seems you care more for a mountain than you do human beings.

@Kayleyjanek And when he reneges on these commitments, what will she say? “I was misled?“ That will be cold comfort to a nation of 350 million people when the next pandemic is raging and he’s in charge. She knows what’s coming, and simply locks the will to oppose it.

As inflation rises and the stock market drops, maybe Americans will begin to realize that electing Trump to "fix" the economy wasn't the genius move they thought it would be.

Right now it feels like the little guy is running the show. He couldn’t do much worse than the two “adults” in the picture.

@lisamurkowski What nonsense. Like many of your Republican colleagues, you know she is utterly unqualified to perform the duties of a job that is vital to US national security. Thanks to your vote, when the inevitable catastrophe happens, it will be too late to do anything about it.

In Trump‘s impoverished vocabulary, it’s fitting that one of the synonyms he uses for “great“ is “unbelievable.” That’s because nothing he says can be believed.

Trump accompanies some of his biggest lies with the accordion hands gesture. And when he leaves the stage after an event like this you can imagine him laughing about how easy it is to deceive them about his beliefs. This might be the least religious man ever to occupy the WH.
Donald Trump: “I really believe you can't be happy without religion, without that belief. I really believe it; I just don’t see how you can. So let's bring religion back…”

Little Lindsey loved USAID until Uncle Donald didn’t. This might be the single weakest, most cowardly man in American political history. Sold his soul for some free golf.
BREAKING: In a stunning resurfaced video, Lindsey Graham is caught praising USAID for the incredible work they do. Lindsey Graham knows USAID is a valuable national security asset but he’s too weak to stand up to the Trump-Musk Administration.

@pennslinger It’s an indefensible vote, and we’re not going to forget it when 2028 rolls around.

Remember Caligula? Next step: Trump appoints his golf cart to the Supreme Court. When do we start having a conversation about a mental competency examination?
We've reached the chapter in Gibbon where the mad emperor is appointing magicians, acrobats, and paid agents of the Persians to the highest offices of state.

Look carefully at Netanyahu’s expression. It’s that of a man who’s thinking, “Either Trump is the dumbest world leader on the planet or he is in the grip of dementia. In either case, it’s great for me. Rave on, Donald.”
BREAKING: During his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump just said he wants to remove 1.7 MILLION Palestinians from GAZA and send them to Egypt, Jordan, or other countries. This is ethnic cleansing. No wonder he just pulled the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council. This is a crime against humanity. I say this as a Jewish man with family in Israel who have repeatedly fled rocket fire.
