As the first former 9-1-1 dispatcher to serve in Congress, I know first-hand how 9-1-1 professionals are unsung heroes in our emergency response system.
Proud to reintroduce the #911SAVES Act today with @RepBrianFitz, @911NENA911, @APCOIntl, @T911HealthLab, & @McGruffatNCPC.

A man from West Virginia called into CSPAN letting them know that the people who live there & voted for Trump are now walking around scared. He’s a diabetic & under President Biden he paid $6 dollars for his insulin & now it’s 80 because the Inflation Recovery Act was canceled.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

Lots of media critics taking shots at the Fox Sports coverage of the @FIFAWorldCup. Much of it is frankly right on the money.
Here's what Eric Wynalda thinks.

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi crying after scoring for Argentina:
“People are surprised when they see Messi in tears, but I’m not. That’s what happens when football is part of your soul.”
“Some players score goals and celebrate for the cameras. Messi scores and feels the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders.”
“He has won everything there is to win, yet the World Cup still touches him differently. That is because playing for Argentina is not a job to him, it is a responsibility.”
“The tears were not about one goal. They were about sacrifice, expectation, and years of fighting for that badge.”
“When you see that emotion, you understand why he has stayed at the top for so long. Talent can make you great, but love for the game is what keeps you there.”
“That moment reminded everyone that even legends are human.”
Six weeks to APCO 2026 in San Antonio – August 2-5!

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:
“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.
The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.
This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”
The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.
And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?
Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.
The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Stop trying to hide what really happened and release the Epstein Files because nobody is going to forget about them.

Never forget Jack Smith held more than enough evidence to convict him for the Capitol insurrection and the illegal retention of classified documents.
Trump knew he would face prison time because he had ZERO chance of beating Harris. He solicited the help of Musk to facilitate malware on the tabulators that changed the outcome of the votes.
TRUMP DID NOT WIN THOSE SWING STATES.

They didn't want to award the Capitol Police a medal or a plaque but want to reward the people who orchestrated and took part in the violence that injured me and ended my career. In the name of national reconciliation, they pardoned the same rioters who attacked us and now being rewarded for the violence they inflicted on us the officers.
They are trying to make the lives of the rioters whole or better than before they assaulted us. Yet to the officers, no apology, no compensation, no acknowledgment of the bravery and sacrifice we made to protect “each of your representatives” regardless of what party they belong.
Why did we risk our lives for then?
What a betrayal this is to us and to the rule of law days after “police week”.

Donald Trump should be on the hook to restore the East Wing out of his own pocket.
He tore it down based on a unilateral decision; our tax dollars should not have to pay for this shit.
And I know I’m not the only one suspecting the real plan is to never leave.
