@Bakari_Sellers @elonmusk Sounds great! Finally, a Democrat onboard with rooting out waste in federal government. Now to fully support DOGE!

@ChrisCoons All of this foreign aid simply proves that we’re enablers to the world. Cut off the funds and let these countries prosper on their own.

@Liberacrat @libsoftiktok They’re not even trying to get the House or the Presidency back in 2-4 years.

@libsoftiktok Yes, she nailed the reason! Has nothing to do with the number of women in engineering. Simply change the name and women will be flocking to start their very own woman-industrial-building. 🤦‍♂️

@EndWokeness This has zero chance of getting out of committee with a Republican House and a country that’s against it. What’s the plan here? Simply to annoy people? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I see a trend from this press conference of all black female Congresspersons. Trump and Elon are racist, threatened by black women and they’re a threat to democracy. Thank you for the entertainment, representatives. Now please go back to watching Elon and Trump cut government waste and deadweight employees from Federal spending. You should solidify your own constituents before your next reelection.

@OliLondonTV Pressley sponsoring a bill to study reparations and she’s trying to get support. HR40 will never get out of committee. It has a 4% chance of moving forward. She’s up for re-election next year. Time for a change.

@unlimited_ls Summer Lee’s congressional district in Pennsylvania is 75% white. I wonder how they feel about paying for reparations. 🤔

@bennyjohnson Did she just say she's serious about doing the work of censoring Americans? Does she realize she's a US Representative who took an oath to uphold the United States Constitution? 🤦🏻‍♂️

@TheMossadIL @EitanChitayat Pretty simple concept! Stop trying to kill people and focus on doing good in your own land. Palestinians have received aid from all around the world only to be taken by Ham*s and used for war. Change your leadership and mindset. Then, maybe you’ll have peace.

@stillgray Only censoring views that she doesn’t like or agree with. Only her speech is free speech. Needs to understand the United States Constitution better. Particularly the 1st Amendment and all of the rights provided to citizens in this great country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@MarioNawfal A lot of mentions of the expensive cost of filming but unions are the real problem. Production companies seek nonunion states and countries to film. Why? Union rules are a pain to work with when filming on set. So much easier filming elsewhere.

@jacksonhinklle And yet… No one wants to take in Palestinians as refugees. Why is that? 🤔

@JaredRyanSears @Acyn You’re forgetting the House and Senate swinging right along with the Presidential win. All three went red. The populace voted for Trump!

@ewarren Which illegal things exactly? What’s your top illegal act instigated by the Trump Administration? 🤔

@XX9678379155758 @LisaToddSutton @Lawrence Correct! The House and Senate make up Congress, the legislative branch.

@davidhogg111 @elonmusk Elon works for Trump. Trump was elected by the people. That’s how it works.

@MayorOfLA Newsom stated that those who lost their homes won’t be able to build the same because of climate change. Which means additional hoops to jump through to rebuild. Recovery might be fast, rebuilding will be met with red tape with how Newsom thinks they should rebuild.

@Rothmus Still living at home with parents, who are taking care of the kids while she works and looks for the future father of baby number 6. 🤦‍♂️

@RepTomSuozzi Meant Legislative. Not judicial. 🤦‍♂️
