Eleanor Roosevelt, Abigail Adams, Dolly Madison, Rosalynn Carter and so many others worked tirelessly to do great things for people while Melania shows up once a month and badly reads a speech someone wrote for her before returning to pampered luxury.
In the past hour, the Trump admin has deleted their web page that recommended setting thermostats between 75-78 during heat waves, and 85 if you are not home, after the GOP learned that Mayor Mamdani was urging New Yorkers to follow White House guidance.
In case you missed it, Pete Ricketts voted NO on the Iran War Powers Resolution last week. This resolution was supported by both Republicans and Democrats.
I remember when Trump abducted Maduro all the FL politicians like Rick Scott, Salazar and Giminez told their constituents that Trump was going to bring freedom and democracy to Venezuela when we all knew he just wanted to steal their oil.
Thank you Jack Smith for speaking up and showing other lawyers what it looks like to have courage, and showing the world what it looks like to have integrity. ⚖️
I've represented thousands of accused criminals in court, and this is the most infuriatingly vile and lazy excuse for criming I've ever heard, analogous to a serial rapist saying he simply couldn't help repeatedly falling on naked women while his penis was erect and he was armed
And just like that, Republicans have no problem with a sitting president making billions in office on crypto scams, from foreign governments and oligarchs, and industries directly impacted by his orders, policies and regulations.
The Reflecting Pool “vandal” is even worse than the sandwich thrower as targets of Pirro’s shameful abuse of prosecutorial discretion.

The attorneys for three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn have issued a powerful statement after D.C. attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a felony charge against Hearn for touching the Reflecting Pool water, in an attempt to blame others for Trump's failures.
"Davey Hearn is innocent. These charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American. This indictment reflects the Administration's effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover." - Norm Eisen, Democracy Defenders Fund & Mary Dohrmann, Washington Litigation Group
ICYMI: The House isn’t voting today. Why? Because Mike Johnson, the weakest Speaker in the history of our institution, once again couldn’t hold his own caucus together long enough to accomplish a single thing all week.
Families are struggling with costs. Veterans are waiting on care. Communities need disaster relief. And the People’s House sits idle because the Speaker can’t manage his own members.
If Mike Johnson can’t do the job, he should step aside and make room for someone who will actually lead this Congress and serve the American people.

November 2025: Don Jr. has a private meeting in India with Indian billionaire Gautam Adani who was facing US bribery charges.
May 2026: Department of Justice moves to drop the charges.
This sure raises ethics questions.

In the first term, only a handful of folks DIDN’T think Trump was a moron.
The rest of the people I worked alongside — from Cabinet members to staff assistants — realized that the president was an idiot.
Take it for what you will. But that’s the truth.
🚨A 46-year-old South Carolina MAGA father who made his Christian faith and family values a core part of his public persona on social media, Leo Lopez III, has been found guilty of s*xually abusing his son and severely physically abusing children in his care.
A jury convicted Lopez on June 26 of Second-Degree Criminal S*xual Conduct with a Minor and five counts of Unlawful Conduct Toward a Child. Evidence at trial showed he s*xually abused a boy (his son) from ages 12 to 14, between May 2020 and July 2022. During that same window, he also punched both a boy and a girl (presumably his children) in the face and stomach and beat them with a belt — injuries the kids reportedly had to cover up with makeup. All the children are described in reporting as being in his care/household.
When investigators confronted him, Lopez tried claiming the children had multiple personality disorder. Doctors who treated the kids found no such diagnosis. What they did find: severe trauma consistent with years of s*xual and physical abuse.
MAGA blaming the victims. Of course!
Lopez was sentenced to 15 years, suspended to 8 years in the SC Department of Corrections, followed by 5 years of probation. He’ll have to register as a s*x offender for life.
And yes — while all this horrific abuse was happening, he was online posting “Save America” Trump statements and writing “we all can agree that God is great!!”
Nothing screams family values quite like this.
Ten years ago I voted to create "America 250."
But here's the truth: Trump started "Freedom 250" to replace it, and made it about himself.
Trump’s newest stunt? Trying to convince us there’s a big crowd for Freedom 250. But our eyes don't lie.
His divisiveness isn't building America; it’s tearing it down.

Jack Smith on MS NOW: "From my perspective, I've seen a number of cases, James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. I mean, right? There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells? So the only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. And he has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts of the law."
