@PoPville I love this place!

The President is trying to bypass Congress and create his own taxpayer funded slush fund for criminals and friends who tried to overthrow a fair election. Incredible. Where are the Rs in Congress! Step up-it’s long overdue!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

It’s official: The Trump administration announced the establishment of a $1.776B fund to compensate people who claim they were targeted by the Biden Justice Department, creating a potential pipeline to funnel taxpayer money to his allies and supporters—NYT

Banana Republic

President Trump did a whole lot of lying on "60 Minutes." Here's a fact check of 18 of his false claims to Norah O’Donnell, the vast majority of them previously debunked:

- It's not true grocery prices "are down"; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they're up
- It's not true there is now "no inflation" (it’s at 3%) or that it's "less than 2%" (it's at 3%)
- It's not true it was "my idea, which nobody, frankly, had thought of," to have AI facilities generate their own power on-site (they were already starting to do that while he was out of office, with Biden administration encouragement)
- It's not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now" (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House's own wildly inflated "announcements" figure)
- It's not true each alleged drug boat "kills 25,000 Americans" (this figure plainly makes no sense given US overdose death totals)
- It's not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act "28 times" (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
- It's not true Trump has ended "eight wars" (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren't wars at all, one war still going full tilt in the DRC, and the Gaza conflict where killing also continues)
- It's not true the Kamala Harris interview Trump sued "60 Minutes" over aired "two days" before the election (it was more than four full weeks before Election Day)
- It's not true Biden gave Ukraine "$350 billion" (inspector general says the US had disbursed $94 billion through June 2025 and appropriated $93 billion more, including funds spent in the US)
- It's not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
- It's not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
- It's not true the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen" (his usual lie) 
- It's not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
- It's not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
- It's not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle (even the White House's own disputed figure is a small fraction of that) or that Biden let in 25 million migrants (it's well under half that even if you count millions who were rapidly expelled)
- It's not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants (Trump's own team has never been able to corroborate this story experts say is baseless)
- It's not true Nancy Pelosi flipped out after finding out his controversial 2019 call with Zelensky “was taped” (there remains no known US tape; what Trump released was a rough transcript, which bolstered rather than undermined Pelosi’s move toward impeachment)

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.

We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.

Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant. And she's right. But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either.

I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote—like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.

My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system.

And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

[Chris Clark @ChrisClark100]

Couldn’t agree more. Completely abdicated his responsibility and let down the country when surely knew better.

[anyone_want_chips @anyonewantchips]

Your reminder that Mitch McConnell kneecapped Barrack Obama, stole 2 Supreme Court seats, packed lower courts with right wing fanatics & voted not to impeach Trump, twice - so no, he doesn’t get a cookie for sounding the alarm on Trump, when he could've spared us this nightmare.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

So MAGA let me get this straight…

On January 6th, Donald Trump didn’t have the power to deploy the National Guard.

But now he can send the national guard in to DC to conduct law enforcement???

Please, explain that one.

📈The recently-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) will increase borrowing by $4.1 trillion through 2034 on a conventional basis, and $5.5 trillion if made permanent, per @USCBO.

[Chris Clark @ChrisClark100]

Absolutely. This is banana republic-like stuff.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Trump‘s firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn’t like the numbers should alarm all of us. This is the kind of disinformation that can destroy an economy and integrity in government.

"In a massive fiscal capitulation, Congress has passed the single most expensive, dishonest, and reckless budget reconciliation bill ever – and, it comes amidst an already alarming fiscal situation," CRFB President @MayaMacGuineas writes in reaction to the House's passage of the reconciliation bill.

"Never before has a piece of legislation been jammed through with such disregard for our fiscal outlook, the budget process, and the impact it will have on the well-being of the country and future generations."

@Lenny_Mendonca Couldn’t agree more. Shameful process and shameful bill-now law.

[Chris Clark @ChrisClark100]

Pure mush…

Trump’s brain is pure mush at this point.
