Crypto bros who paid almost $150 million to go to Trump’s dinner said that they “attended the event with the explicit intent of influencing Mr. Trump and U.S. financial regulations.”
The White House is for sale and people know it.

The same people whining that Bruce Springsteen needs to "shut up and sing" are the ones who've never paid attention to his lyrics.
When you show disdain for democracy and hardworking Americans, of course he's going to call you out.
Proud to have joined 191 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in an amicus brief in support of the Department of Education.
Trump can't singlehandedly dismantle the department. This ruling against Trump is a win for the rule of law, children and educators across the country.

The same week Donald Trump accepted a luxury jet from a Qatar, he instructed Republicans to cut health coverage and nutrition programs for millions of Americans.
He profits off the presidency while making life harder for anyone not in his tax bracket.

The latest on the Republican budget bill as I make my way back to the Capitol.
In other words, “please don’t call this bill what it is or say what it does.”
If you didn’t watch any of our testimony, Rep. Foxx sums it up pretty well.
🚨 The White House just issued a statement saying a vote against Trump’s (yet to be finalized) budget bill would be “the ultimate betrayal.”
Republicans must choose: it’s either loyalty to him, or to the people they represent.
With the average income being just over $50k a year, it would take someone earning that rate 7.2 MILLION YEARS to make what the top 10 billionaires made in the past twelve months!
And Republicans are fighting to make sure they make MORE money at your expense.
Most of America is asleep or getting ready for bed while Republicans just started their 1am budget hearing.
In the middle of the night, they’re scheming to take funding for your healthcare and use that money for billionaire tax cuts.

🚨 Update on the Republican budget bill!
The Republican budget bill makes us poorer, sicker, and hungrier.
The Trump administration has been implementing Project 2025 across our federal government.
Considering it calls for the privatization of agencies like the TSA, I asked the Acting Administrator where she stands.
They’ve already “fucked around” with Medicaid.
The budget Republicans passed Sunday - which every Democrat voted against - has the largest cut to Medicaid in history.
That's 13.7 million people who will (in the parlance of our times) get fucked without their health coverage.
Trump thinks throwing 13.7 million people off their healthcare and making the largest cut to SNAP in history isn't meaningful.
Due process exists for all persons in our country because our laws assume you're innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
That being said, the "they need to do it the right way" crowd is awfully quiet on this report.

Our obligation includes oversight of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. @replamonica.bsky.social was doing her job.
This administration is trying to intimidate judges, law firms, universities, and now members of Congress.
I’m with Rep. McIver. And House Democrats won’t back down.
It doesn't "save" a $1 trillion, it slashes it from programs like Medicaid and SNAP, kicking millions of Americans off their healthcare and nutrition programs
You also forgot to mention the other $3-4 trillion being spent on tax cuts for the wealthy that'll explode our deficit.
Republicans weren't interested in protecting healthcare, SNAP, transparency, or ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share.
Democrats want to protect these crucial programs, ensure the rich pay their fair share, and show the American people know what Republicans are proposing.
