With love and appreciation for everyone who made this journey possible; I thank you! This chapter has ended, but there is much more work left for us to do - and I'm not going anywhere. Onward. 💙💪🏾 #TeamRoberts #ReadyForRoberts #MDpolitics

OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House. They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

The Trump administration has systematically dismantled infrastructure, policies, programs, and data that were in place to open the door to more opportunities for Black Americans. We must fight through this moment while also building a brighter future. Hear from CAP's @WilliamJRob:

WOW — “So forgiving debt is fine for you… but not for anyone else?” Rep. @MaxwellFrostFL corners 1 of 20 boomers he faced about why he opposes canceling student debt when he admits his own family had debt forgiven. Incredible stuff. 😕🤔 (H/T @jubileemedia)

This morning, I attended a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee meeting, where members advanced a deeply anti-DC bill that could devastate our economy and undermine our ability to govern our own city.   I was stunned to learn that DoorDash, a company that employs tens of thousands of Dashers in DC and partners with thousands of DC merchants, sent a letter supporting one of the biggest assaults on DC in decades.   It is absolutely outrageous that a company profiting from our city would support legislation that could do such serious harm to it.   I have contacted DoorDash and demanded an explanation. Washingtonians deserve answers, and I will report back when I receive them.

So the Russia hoax wasn't a hoax. Thanks, Donald.
Replying to @TVietor08
Trump released documents that confirm Russia tried to interfere in the 2020 election to hurt Biden. It says Russia tried to "orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal" and push narratives about "voter fraud resulting from mail-in balloting"

A greater metaphor for the Trump administration, there is not…😒
Paint was seen peeling from the floor of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, weeks after a $14 million renovation that included a new color President Trump called “American Flag Blue.”

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says the state needs to move on redistricting. “We don’t have a choice but to act, particularly when we’re watching the greatest assault on Black voter representation ... that we have seen in generations," he tells our @jmart. 🔗 politi.co/4fiRbP0

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

When we say that Trump’s war on DEI is all bullshit...here’s another egregious example. It’s not just that the DOGE goons are idiots - it’s that everyone wiping out grants, programs, jobs, history is acting based on the whitewashed lie Trump has created . Just wow.
In his deposition, DOGE employee Justin Fox said he used AI to tag DEI grants to cancel — without ever instructing the AI on what DEI is. Among the grants terminated was a $350k grant to replace an aging HVAC system at the High Point Museum in North Carolina. The AI flagged it because the grant stated, ‘Improving HVAC systems enhances preservation conditions for collections, aligning with the goal of providing greater access to diverse audiences.’

Not 🤬 AI. This is the FBI Director chugging 🍺 w/ team USA…instead of being somewhere doing his damn job. After taking a private jet 🛩️ paid for by us taxpayers. The frat house grift of this administration is endless 😒.
A source sent me this video of FBI Director Kash Patel partying with the US Men's Olympic Hockey team.

He’s very proud of wasting our tax dollars instead of being on the job keeping America safe also…
For the very concerned media - yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys- Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth. 👊🏼🏒🇺🇸
