Rep. Byron Donalds R-FL still has not explained how he voted on the House floor in Feb. 2025 while he was in Los Angeles for the Bill Maher show. Someone voted for Donalds twice that day - another Florida Republican perhaps used his voting card?

Here's Utah (@SenMikeLee 's home state) one day after the November 5, 2024 election.

62.1% tabulated.

(Utah is an all mail state like California)

Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.

"Lies" ... the word you're looking for is "lies"

Why does MAGA hate voting so much? They hate people being able to register easily. They hate people being able to vote easily. They even hate counting votes if it doesn’t go their way.

And if all else fails, they just storm the Capitol.

Speaker Johnson, like Trump, sowing doubts on CA results.

I asked him about any evidence to back up their claims

“Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it is impossible to prove,” he said. “But think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here.”

More than a few people who were barking this morning that California Dems had rigged the election against Pratt are currently congratulating Steve Hilton on making the gubernatorial runoff without any recognition that these two things don't compute

MAGA Republicans can trash-talk all day long, but when it’s time to take it, they all have such thin skin.

Trump’s day:

1. Begged Iran and Israel to stop bombing each other
2. Posted some "election fraud" BS
3. Shut down midtown
4. Got booed at MSG and Bryant Park
5. Stuffed his face with fries and pizza
6. Took a nap
7. Left before the game ended and Knicks lost

[Matt Walton, M.Ed @Matt4VA]

A friendly reminder to the GOP

[Mike Beauvais @MikeBeauvais]

Courtside at MSG is funny because it’s like beloved former Knicks star from the ‘90s next to an insanely famous actor next to the CEO of a company that turns orphans into AI data center liquid coolant.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

Here's what the booing sounded like inside MSG when Trump was shown on the Jumbotron:

California is a donor state. It pays more into the federal treasury than it gets back. The irony is you're threatening to withhold California's money from California. Who voted for this fucking idiot?

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Two New World Screwworm cases have been confirmed in Texas, infecting both a calf and a dog.

This comes after the Trump admin slashed funding for programs responsible for monitoring the New World Screwworm.

[Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot]

The best Trump can hope for is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz without tolls and accept limits on its nuclear program backed by international inspections. That would basically recreate the conditions that existed under Obama’s nuclear deal. https://t.co/TbAwLZyavX

It’s such a perfect metaphor to have something that gives joy to tens of thousands get ruined by one Republican billionaire asshole

Happy National Best Friends Day

the face of a person who is never challenged, his world-view never questioned, literally never hears a syllable of opposition unless a journalist, usually a woman, questions him, & then he is astonished & infuriated.

As Trump screamed "Comey was a dirty cop" during "Meet the Press" questions about Trump's Jan 6 lies....

We should note:

1) Comey wasn't employed by FBI on Jan 6, 2021
2) The FBI worked for Donald Trump on Jan 6, 2021
3) Trump launched the Jan 6 prosecutions on Jan 7, 2021
