Dear @Jim_Jordan: I’m pleased whenever anyone, including JD Vance, visits Disneyland. Tourism has helped California become the 4th largest economy in the world. But you know what we are mad at on a bipartisan basis? Your refusal to call Bondi to testify about the Epstein files.
Democrats are mad that JD Vance visited Disneyland with his family. But not mad that Joe Biden let criminals, gang members, and terror suspects illegally cross the southern border.

Under Trump and Republicans, the economy is getting worse. A 99 year old Michigan clock company is going out of business due to tariffs and other economic conditions. And the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill will make things worse by increasing healthcare costs. #MondayMorning Thoughts.

I support President Trump’s decision to send Patriot missiles to Ukraine. I urge the Trump Administration to make the full decision to win. The only way to get Putin to the negotiating table is for Russian troops to lose on the battlefield in Ukraine.

I talked about the Epstein files during the Biden Administration and I’m talking about Epstein files during the Trump Administration. All the Epstein files need to be released and let the chips fall where they may. What is the Dept of Justice hiding from the American people?.

The economy is getting worse under Trump and Republicans:. -inflation continues to increase, with grocery prices outpacing overall inflation. -the economy shrank for the first time in 3 years. -personal incomes dropped for the first time in 4 years. #sundayvibes.
A majority of Americans think the economy is getting worse (Economist).

Why would Trump all of a sudden allege the Epstein Files were written by Obama, Hillary, Comey etc?. The simplest explanation is that there is something in the unreleased Epstein files that implicates Trump or people close to him. #OccamsRazor.
didn’t think epstein files were such a big deal until president trump posted this

Release the Epstein files. Trump is all over the Epstein files that have previously been released, from pictures to videos to plane logs to quotes to court filings. What is the Trump Administration hiding?.
Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend, President Donald Trump is continuing to crash out over the Epstein Files. And REALLY doesn’t want us talking about them.

“Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed.” - Lincoln. Trump has lost and continues to lose public sentiment. You have power to shape public sentiment. Exercise your rights to free speech, to document, to protest.
The public backlash to anti-immigrant fever has arrived. The Gallup poll released yesterday shows some of the biggest short term moves on public sentiment on immigration that I’ve seen in decades. And it’s really bad news for Republicans. 🧵

Under Trump and Republicans, America is retreating.
HAPPENING NOW!! Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ tonight, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleague, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻

Dear @DHSgov: The law is that Congresswoman Veronica Escobar has the legal right to conduct UNANNOUNCED oversight of your detention facilities. That means no notice visits. The law is clear and we will win in court. DHS is acting illegally and breaking the law. Shame on you.
Unfortunately, the Congresswoman did not give sufficient notice to facilitate a visit, which is essential to keep staff and detainees safe. For visits to detention facilities, requests should be made with sufficient time to prevent interference with the President’s Article II.

Dear Chair @Jim_Jordan and @JudiciaryGOP: With the chaos and coverup at the Department of Justice, you need to call Attorney General Bondi to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the Epstein files NOW. House Republicans should not be facilitating the coverup.
It’s accurate that Dan Bongino has told people he’s considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and DOJ over the fallout from the Epstein memo. (It remains to be seen if he actually does.) But hard to overstate the infighting happening over this the last few days as.

Dear @Jim_Jordan and @JudiciaryGOP: You must call Attorney General Bondi to answer questions under oath in Judiciary Committee about the Epstein files asap. Otherwise you are facilitating the coverup. The American people deserve the truth.
BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified.

Just a simple observation: The Senate cannot unconfirm someone if it plays out really badly.
Sen. Thom Tillis: The main reason I supported RFK Jr was because Bill Cassidy thought we should see how it plays out. My God.

Are there legitimate questions about geoengineering? Yes. About contrails? No. Contrails are condensation trails that sometimes appear behind airplanes. It’s like saying “Americans have questions about bioengineering and farts”. @epaleezeldin is giving life to a wacko theory.
Americans have questions about geoengineering and contrails. They expect honesty and transparency from their government when seeking answers. For years, people who asked questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by the media and their own government. This ends today.
