No lies detected.

As a 20-year Navy veteran who deployed on aircraft carriers in support of combat operations in the Middle East, I know firsthand the strain that every single day puts on our sailors and their families.  Donald Trump’s comment on USS Lincoln’s deployment being “not nearly long enough” is disgraceful. Our men and women in uniform and our military families deserve better than an unserious Commander-in-Chief who knows nothing about military service and sacrifice.

We could eliminate $7 billion in medical debt with the $70 million they spent to beat me in the primary. Those same corporations and special interests are trying to buy the seat for Mike Rogers now. In November we teach them once and for all: Michigan is not for sale.

Hunter Biden on Trump: “He makes Richard Nixon look like a piker. For $100K you can go on Truth Social to get an hour ahead of time the text he’s about to put out. It’s literally paying for insider trading. He made 3,400 trades in the first quarter of this year. You know how many more that is than my dad? 3,400. You know how much more that is than Barack Obama? 3,400”

It's not radical to believe you should be able to afford groceries, see a doctor, breathe clean air, and drink clean water. There's nothing more American than fighting for a government of, by, and for the people.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

Trump’s Gift to the Money Launderers: Treasury isn’t merely shutting down an anti-corruption database. It’s deleting the data so future investigators can’t use it. thebulwark.com/p/trumps-gift-…

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave at least 23 times.

Sen. @ossoff on Navy sailors trying to jump ship due to horrific conditions: “We have to step back & recognize this entire war is based on lies... Iran still has uranium. Hormuz remains closed. A catastrophic failure by the commander in chief + his team.”

Haven’t been here in a minute & the national guard presence in DC is dystopian. Tanks outside parks. Guys in fatigues in every neighborhood i’ve been in…Why are we paying for this? Why are we keeping these people from their families? So Trump can do dictator theatre? Madness.

A Yale study just concluded that Medicare for All will save an estimated 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by $1 trillion. Medicare for All saves lives, saves money, and covers everyone with every doctor being in network.

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead

Wild — Speaker @CSexton25 and his Republican caucus are dropping $16000 on steak dinners in D.C. while 1 in 5 Tennessee kids faces hunger and 13% lives below the federal poverty line. Must be nice!

One year ago, President Trump deployed the National Guard to the streets of Washington, D.C. Twelve months later, and they’re still here. An investigation from Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of the Vet Voice Foundation, found that the Pentagon has already spent more than $700 million, with another $1.43 billion projected through 2028, to keep 2,500 soldiers standing post in the capital. They swore an oath to defend the country, not to police it. One year in, and it's time to bring them home.

@Acyn And this how they’ll make the money back. It wasn’t a secret, y’all

MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going.  We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year… $323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase.  National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority.  Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.

Medicare for All would save American families money and cut spending by up to $650 billion per year. You would pay slightly more in taxes, but never have to pay for copays, deductibles, premiums or out of pocket costs — and medical, dental, vision, hearing, long term care, mental health and prescriptions would be covered. The politicians and think tanks arguing against Medicare for All are the same ones financially backed by the health insurance industry.

WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that? EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for

Right now, more than 5,000 sailors and Marines are stuck aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the ninth month of a deployment that was supposed to last seven, supporting military operations against Iran that Congress never authorized. Their families are begging someone to listen. Moldy showers, broken toilets, no hot water for weeks, meals that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. A ship’s store out of soap, deodorant, and toothpaste. Sailors so worn down that, according to one family member, the ship’s own doctor warned they need to reach port soon or people are going to start losing their minds. Back in April, when families first raised the alarm, Pete Hegseth dismissed the reports as fake news. These are the people we ask to serve in one of the most dangerous workplaces on Earth, the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. They, and their families, deserve answers. ms.now/news/condition…

Gov. @AndyBeshearKY: Rand Paul is trying to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt when he actually showed up in person and made a verbal statement. But Rand Paul won't call on Mitch McConnell who has also been fully absent to even do a video for people to show he's okay. So 85-year-old Fauci should be held in contempt and jailed, but 84-year-old Mitch McConnell gets a complete pass after not showing up to work for 7 weeks?
