Some things never change. Why do working class people believe that the GOP cares about them? #Resist https://t.co/k3LDTOuJTI via @YouTube

Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear:

1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close.

2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. https://t.co/L63hCChOn6

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This is absurd. Every piece of voter data Trump mentions here, as well as which elections each voter voted in, is readily available in Kentucky for a small fee.

Holy shit: ICE gave a gun and a badge to a man who threw his 13-year-old daughter through a coffee table and threatened to slit her throat!

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Bro, you voted for the Trump I tax cuts and the Trump II tax cuts, neither of which was "paid for." That's a minimum $4 trillion right there. Maybe sit this one out?

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Very important warning.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Under Trump, U.S. federal debt has surpassed 100% of GDP for the first time since WWII.

And it's on track to beat that all-time record by 2030.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

This is insane. ICE hired a wife beater with severe mental health issues whose own family is terrified of him. Also worth noting that the military had previously accepted him in spite of severe mental health issues and sent him to Afghanistan where his family say he was turned into a monster.

This ICE hire isn’t just an accident or lack of vetting. Stephen Miller’s goal was to assemble a force of unaccountable marauding thugs. From his perspective this murderous psycho is a success story and exactly what he’s looking for.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

It is tempting to simply view this speech with derision. A feeble demagogue lying over and over. It is far more dangerous and insidious. Trump is trying to lay the predicate to declare a national emergency and seize control of the election machinery. Potentially to seize control of television and radio outlets. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

This is really incredible. Docs released by Trump tonight confirm RUSSIA tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity vis-a-vis Burisma and that it advanced those narratives "with US officials" and planed a "high-profile corruption scandal... at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign."

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Former Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy Attorney General, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend and it cost me my job. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

[Talking Points Memo @TPM]

NEW ON TPM: On Jan. 6, 2021, a man approached the Capitol who looked like many others in the crowd that day: white, with a Trump 2020 hat on and a shirt marking his service to the country in Afghanistan.

But this one was different. Brian W. Lynch was months into a new job as a federal prosecutor in Maryland when he attended the march on the Capitol. Yet, somehow, Lynch’s presence at the Capitol that fateful day has not been publicly reported until now, more than five years later. In the meantime, Lynch remained at DOJ and, under the second Trump administration, received a big promotion: He’s now running a national task force to prosecute left-wing political violence.

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

NEW: Senate candidate Mike Collins’ son-in-law—featured in campaign photos, registered to vote at a Collins-owned property, and appearing at his victory party—is a white nationalist influencer who has promoted Nazi imagery and called for “clearing our land of other people.”

Spanberger is as popular as Mamdani with Dems (she's at 77% in this poll). She's down with independents 50%. That's actually a larger lesson for purple states- they are not as liberal as people seem to think.
