It literally is.
Mike Johnson: Everybody's frustrated about fuel prices, obviously. But that's not related to policies. It's not related to the Republicans in office.

A party with multiple fugitives and Ken Paxton is still the sketchiest guy in the room.
Replying to @efindell
In Dubai, Paxton and his girlfriend watched fireworks at a party with two fugitives who had failed to return to the U.S. to face federal healthcare fraud charges. One of them, Anosh Ahmed, had donated $190,000 to Paxton. wsj.com/politics/policy/ken-… w/ @MarkMaremont @jdawsey1

Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump. It paid off. Since his election, Musk got $696 billion richer & became the world’s 1st trillionaire. But that’s not enough. Now, Musk is spending $366 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress. STOP MUSK. STOP OLIGARCHY.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

Are we going to talk about Elon putting his hand on the scales of our midterms with this blatant misinformation?
Elon immediately suspended this account that showed Nick Sortor’s recorded call to the mental health facility was AI generated and is preventing community notes on the Sortor post. It’s all hands on deck trying to make the fake Talarico story stick

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him. People are getting worried. I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. @KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Congress has not worked enough days in 2026 to qualify for SNAP, just in case you were curious who was actually sponging off our tax dollars.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer in California ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... I'm not all that interested in having a conversation about a Twitch streamer"

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. My administration is launching a free online portal for 9/11-related documents and releasing the first 170,000 pages today — available now at nyc.gov/sept11docs. These records prove what families and first responders have long known: City government knew the conditions around Ground Zero were dangerous — yet lied to New Yorkers. Thousands pay the price for this. They bear the effects of that day every time they struggle to breathe or visit the doctor. More people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself. As we mark twenty five years since September 11th, our vow to Never Forget will not waver. We will remember — and honor — those we have lost with the accountability and honesty they deserve.

I predicted they’d call off Congress until the election to stop our new Epstein bill. Johnson said on TV that was “stupid” and “nonsensical.” But then he got a call from “upstairs” and canceled Congress from the middle of September until the election.

Google Maps has now capitulated to Donald Trump and changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Apple Maps still uses the correct name.

My husband and I just checked our voter registration, here in Texas. We have been suspended. They said they got returned mail and so they suspended us. I call bullshit and voter suppression. How do we know we didn’t get mail they sent us, we DIDN’T GET IT! We just voted /1
