The American people have watched President Trump enrich himself and his cronies. Members of both parties should be calling out this Administration's corruption - like @SenatorSlotkin is doing. She is simply saying that no one is above the law, and no one should be.
Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House. If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24. Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff. State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

Fear is the point. Intimidation is the point. And if the President can try to do this to me, he can do it to anyone.

The GOP is taking something that @SenatorSlotkin and @IlhanMN didn't quite say, making up something as if they did say it and then unleashing their vast outrage snowflake machine to attack them.

Pow. One of the last decent leaders in the GOP speaks up. DeWine is always a class act. Was strong on Trump’s Haiti smear too. Old School GOP. (Tangentially, he also built the first excellent state highway EV charging network in U.S. with GM/EVgo while other Govs just screwed around)
Gov. Mike DeWine talks about Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s mother saying she is lying about her past - “the ad is deeply, deeply troubling” and that when you know the full story “it makes it more wrong”

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
There is something deeply wrong with Talarico

The Republican freakout over Slotkin shows the party will rally around Trump's corruption the moment he faces any consequence theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

El-Sayed campaign statement following tonight's debate: "Abdul is not a socialist, has not been endorsed by the DSA, and is a capitalist who wants to have a healthy and functional system of capitalism in America."

I encourage DC voters to vote YES for i-86, prohibiting the sale of foie gras in the city. Is this the most pressing issue in the city? No! But there's something worthwhile about eliminating just a bit of unnecessary cruelty in this world. More info in next tweet -->

What are the chances there is a Blue tsunami? Axios reports Republicans fear Mississippi could be in play. @ScarboroughNow called Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad “the worst political ad we’ve ever seen.” @ThirdWayKessler invoked 1994. @Albydelphia argued the Michigan Senate race is far from a lock for Abdul El-Sayed. @willrahn and I covered it all on “2WAY Tonight” — with plenty of input from the 2WAY community, including some love for Joe. @2WAYTVAPP youtube.com/watch?v=yXVewk9P…

Trump officials who commit crimes should face accountability, and when I said that out loud, the Trump administration and his allies took it personally. That should tell you something.

BREAKING: Senate Majority PAC is launching a statewide ad campaign SLAMMING Roger Marshall for having his own patients arrested for medical debt. He went after patients who owed as little as $101. That’s pure greed.

This hero is reportedly Somali-American, but the usual suspects on here don't seem so keen to point that out in this case...
