Don't forget: President Trump relentlessly attacked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & did everything to stop his win. It's funny how his tune changed when confronted with Mamdani’s actual focus on affordability — something Trump claims to care about. Let this be a lesson: Always stand up to a bully.
We all want to see peace in Ukraine, most of all the Ukrainian people. But blackmailing innocent Ukrainians to appease Putin doesn’t promote peace — it only enables Russia’s aggression. It is repulsive that this is coming from an American president.
This is extremely dangerous. From the attempts on his own life to the murders of Speaker Hortman & Charlie Kirk, this isn’t hard. You either condemn all of it or none of it. I don’t want to hear a single word about political violence from Republicans until they condemn this language.
Today, Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will visit the White House as he prepares to take office with a simple goal: making sure working people can afford to live where they work. You may be shocked to find out his plan doesn’t include giant tax cuts for corporations & billionaires.
The U.S. has the leverage to help stop the RSF's atrocities in Sudan, RIGHT NOW. But to do that we have to use it. Today, Republicans blocked my effort to pass legislation to suspend arms sales to the UAE until we can verify they are no longer arming the genocidal RSF. Shameful.
The Trump Admin will fire you for having a Pride flag on your desk but downplays & normalizes swastikas & nooses? Over 400,000 Americans died fighting Nazism. Hundreds of thousands died fighting slavery & Jim Crow. This is a slap in the face to every American who died to defeat bigoted ideologies.
Must be a total coincidence this announcement came the day after these guys were seen at Trump’s ritzy dinner party. Trump doesn’t have this authority. States are filling the void left by the federal govt’s failure to create an accountability structure for AI companies.
Breaking news: The Trump administration is drafting an executive order that would direct the Justice Department to sue states that pass laws regulating artificial intelligence, according to a copy reviewed by The Post.
Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen." Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder. The Republican party's refusal to stand up for a free & fair press endangers journalists worldwide.
Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11. She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community. Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat. Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?
Trump and Congressional Republicans have a little over a month to diffuse the health care time bomb they left ticking on American families. If these tax credits expire, it will spike health care costs for everyone — whether you’re on the ACA or not.
With Senate approval of the bill to release the Epstein Files, President Trump must sign it into law, without delay. It’s past time for the American people to see the FULL truth. It is shameful that it took so long.
First Trump allowed your premiums to skyrocket & now he wants medical bills to haunt you everywhere you go. Letting sickness crush people’s credit scores is exploitative & cruel. This is what it looks like when you put corporate debt collectors, not working people, first.
This is a direct attack on our children & our future. At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.
Right now, tens of millions of working families are trying to work out how they’re going to pay for their skyrocketing ACA premiums. The time bomb is still ticking and Republicans are doing nothing to diffuse it — we need to act now.
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza goes on, extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank are attacking Palestinians with impunity, displacing them & disrupting the olive harvest. We must end our complicity. Opposing annexation isn't enough, we must demand an end to the occupation.
Donald Trump repeatedly told us that his tariffs would not increase prices for consumers.  So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods?  Duh, because his tariffs raised prices.  Just another day with Don the Con.
