Just remember, there were tons of people protecting the “I am not a crook” Richard Nixon til the end.

Mike Johnson is going to cancel votes, recessing the House of Representatives for a month because he doesn’t want the GOP to vote on releasing the Epstein Files. So much for the party of “family values.” They’re now doing everything they can to protect pedophiles. Just insane.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialJul 20(source)

The House GOP isn’t stupid. They know kicking people off healthcare is unpopular which is why many parts of their bill go into effect after the Midterms in 2026. We must keep reminding people of that. If you’re with me, donate now to hold them accountable: secure.actblue.com/donate/es-ho...

When local people make fruit snacks, I’ll eat them.

If you are what you eat, this tracks. 🤣 I’m gluten free.

If the Epstein Files cleared him, he would be selling copies on Truth Social.

I believe Congressman Ro Khanna has called for movement in the House on this matter.

1. Trump says he’ll release the Epstein Files 2. Trump says the Epstein Files don’t exist 3. Trump blames Obama and Clinton for creating Epstein Files 4. What’s next ⤵️

They’re triggered about this.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

In my dreams. 😉 She’s the worst.

The Republican Party is flipping out because I believe rounding up families, plucking kids from schools, yanking workers from their jobs, and forcing them in an infested camp in Florida is un-American and atrocious. I said what I said.

When it comes to the tragedy in Texas, where should we look for answers? Going forward, I have a bold new plan to ensure this tragedy doesn’t happen again. Hint: it comes from the aviation community! But first, let’s pass my bipartisan legislation to fully support the National Weather Service.

When planes crash, the NTSB investigates so we can learn, adapt, and innovate. I believe we need something similar in the U.S. for weather disasters in order to lower risk to life and property for the next “unfathomable” storm. Thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for having me on tonight to discuss.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialJul 8(source)

In 2009, Republicans created the myth that Obama wanted “death panels” for seniors. Speaking of death, fast forward to 2025 and Republicans pass a law that guts Medicaid, closing 1 in 4 nursing homes. Their misinformation campaign worked then. Where is the Democratic information campaign today?

At this point I could be convinced that a time traveler keeps going back to 2016 to try and fix it and just keeps unwittingly making it worse

I just finished my 3rd 4th of July parade in Rockford with the Winnebago County Democrats and ran into my colleague @ericsorensen.bsky.social

If you see an American flag flying this July 4th, there’s a good chance it’s American-made thanks to my bipartisan All American Flag Act that was passed and signed into law last year. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The single biggest cut to American health care in U.S. history and these people are giddy over it. Shame on every one of them.

Good Lord. He thinks there are two BILLION farms in Iowa.

Trump: "Very importantly for Iowa, this bill rescues over 2 billion family farms from the so-called estate tax or the death tax." (over 2 billion??????)
