Marco Rubio: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Garcia: "Todd Blanche is not Stephen Miller's lawyer. He's not the lawyer of the president, even though in his head that's what he wants to be ... he's been involved in leading this White House coverup related to the Epstein files."

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed: “How is it that we should be engaging with a country that is using our money to do terrible things, war crimes at the minimum, genocide at the maximum? My approach is simple: treat the government of Israel the way you would treat any other government that did the same thing. My family comes from Egypt and I want to do the same thing with Egypt. Egypt violates human rights law. Egypt shouldn’t be getting $3.3B of our tax dollars”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed on Iran: “There is one person in the world that has been trying to get this war fought for nearly all of our lifetimes. It is the Prime Minister of a foreign government. Gets invited to the Situation Room where he gets to dupe the dumbest fucking guy who ever was president and then now we’re in a war that everybody could’ve told you was a dumb idea to fight”

Unearthed video shows Stephen Miller endorsing torture: "Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Unearthed video of Stephen Miller on bizarre tirade:

"I am sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors to do it for us!"

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

While the wealthy and well-lobbied feast on inside information and official favors, America's forgotten families are treated to systemic corporate disrespect and official indifference, working harder and harder while the treadmill just gets faster and steeper, and the bills get higher and higher.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says.

This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

AG Todd Blanche: "You have Garcia minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to chief of staff telling him to 'lawyer up.' Well I'll tell you what. Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me."

[FactPost @factpostnews]

David Glosser, Stephen Miller's uncle, told CNN his nephew is an "immigration hypocrite":

Our family history is entirely dependent on our ability to escape a terrible situation in Belarus. Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would not exist. Everybody else who didn't make it to America ended up dying in the Holocaust.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

I put together a list of everything that broke the back of Trumpism.

The gas prices.
The unsanctioned war.
The massive corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
Playing nice with Russia.
The cruelty against American citizens.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The ballroom.
The reflecting pool that doesn’t reflect.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against our allies.

By the way, I’m scratching the tip of the iceberg.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Democrats just handed Republicans an electoral ass-kicking, and Trump is outside discussing interior decorating. You cannot make this shit up.

[Gram Slattery @G_Slattery]

Surreal moment happening NOW at the White House

Trump, after hours and hours of radio silence, called in the pool out of nowhere to discuss the ballroom, the golf course and other Washington beautification projects

[Sam Stein @samstein]

What a scene. Trump, holding a mic that keeps having reverb and in deeply subdued form, goes through the various room layouts, floor structures, and beams of the coming White House ballroom. The crowd, dead silent, looks on as a little wind breezes through his hair.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "I think it would destroy the Democrat Party if they did that -- impeachment for no reason. What, for having a successful country? Our country is more successful right now than at any time in history. Watch the beam go up."

🔥 Johnson: “If we lose the midterms, the Democrats will go after the president’s family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, and the rest of you who have committed crimes.”

MIKE, WE HEARD YOU. NOW LET’S GET TO WORK.🔥

This is pure gold!

Abdul El-Sayed trolling Trump and JD Vance after winning Michigan’s Senate race:

“JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.”

“Donald, look, I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”

[Ryan Autullo @RyanAutullo]

If big leads hold, Republican majority on Texas Supreme Court goes from 9-0 to 5-4.

15th appeals court - opened in 2024 for appeals involving the state and business court - will go from all-GOP to all-Democrat.

Seven incumbents facing defeat are Gov. Abbott appointees. #txlege

Trump: "We actually have the greatest economy, but because of the gasoline price, people don't see it as much as they would have without it. And the gasoline was caused by Iran."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

If you believe that Trump is really cutting off aid to Israel on Bibi's recommendation, I have a $5,000 Trump dividend to sell you as well as shares of Melania's memecoin
