With the GOP, accusations are always confessions. Here is a prime example of the election fraud they baselessly accuse Dems of doing when it’s actually Republicans themselves.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

This is absolutely bonkers: newly uncovered text messages reveal that Republican operatives INSIDE the North Carolina State Board of Elections are secretly collaborating with the NC Republican Party to force local elections officials to obey partisan directives - or be fired.

This is a smoking gun: @DallasWoodhouse, the disgraced former leader of the NCGOP who Republicans nevertheless hired to help run the State Board of Elections, is working hand-in-hand with NCGOP legal counsel to pressure officials and even arrange votes.

JUST IN: A disappointing jobs report. The US economy added 57,000 jobs in June (below expectations of 115k). Hospitality jobs decline by -61k. Plus, April and May were revised lower by -74,000.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% --> the lowest in a year, but mainly due to a big drop in people job hunting.

The bad news = Wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Wage gains were 3.5% in the past year, which is below ~4% inflation.

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.

🚨 TRUMP’S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE JUST DROPPED…AND IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT.

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released Donald Trump’s 927-page financial disclosure today. Here’s what a sitting U.S. President made in 2025:

💰 $635 MILLION from the TRUMP memecoin, while retail investors watched it crash from $74 to $1.68

💰 $594 MILLION from World Liberty Financial token and stablecoin sales, a crypto venture co-founded with his own sons

💰 $65 MILLION from selling equity in that same company

💰 $80+ MILLION in media settlements from ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube, paid to his own presidential library

Total crypto haul: over $1.4 BILLION. In one year. While serving as President of the United States.

His net worth has nearly TRIPLED, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion, since taking office.

And while Trump pocketed $1.4 billion from crypto, the everyday Americans who bought his memecoin? They lost. 764,000 wallets ended up in the red.

This is the most corrupt presidency in American history. Period.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump has earned $2.3 billion since the beginning of his presidency through 4 different crypto schemes.

The common denominator for each: the Trumps win big, and you lose.

Data from @Reuters.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals.

Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

[Tanya Hartley @Hartley2aT]

Not only does this violate U.S. law, it’s also extremely reckless and dangerous for our national security. Is this really the same country that obsessed over Hillary’s private server years ago?!?

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

In the first six months of 2025, top Trump officials used at least 13 Signal chats with names like "Iran/Ukraine Planning" and "State USAID."

Dan Caine was the admin of a Signal group with Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio that was set to automatically delete messages after 8 hours. https://t.co/E9R9wxnK7f

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy.

This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Trump is trying to send $1.6 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars to his sons through their investment in a mining firm. This is American foreign policy being used to benefit Trump and his family, not the American people. We've never seen this much corruption.

[Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández @RepTeresaLF]

BREAKING: House Republicans just advanced their voter suppression bill in the Rules Committee.

If the Rule passes tomorrow, the SAVE Act will automatically be added to the National Defense Authorization Act when it passes.

This bill will make it harder to register to vote, especially if you’re a woman, live in a rural community, serve in the military, or are a Tribal voter.

If you’re wealthy enough to have a passport, you’re fine. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have one. Under the SAVE Act, a REAL driver’s license in many states or other common forms of ID wouldn’t be enough to register.

Don’t call this a voter ID bill. A true voter ID law could accept a REAL ID driver’s license.

This isn’t about election security. It’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track.

According to @Reuters, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie:

“I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The Trump administration will no longer provide public notice or consider public feedback when planning drilling and logging projects in federal forests.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The cost of the Iran War has been massive. Direct military costs will likely approach $100 billion.

But the total could be closer to $1 trillion when long-term costs from inflation impacts, debt interest payments, and veterans’ benefits are included.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump and his allies lambasted Obama’s Iran nuclear deal for a decade.

Yet their proposed deal is objectively weaker than the JCPOA: fewer conditions, more money for Iran, and less nuclear oversight.

Housing costs are up.

If you touch water you are apprehended by police.

If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.

TRUMP’S AMERICA.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Today is the anniversary of the day SCOTUS cost women the right to make choices about their bodies for themselves & I have not forgotten. When I vote, the most important issue I consider is which candidate will protect me and my daughter from becoming second class citizens.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

I know this is beside the point, but I have a profound, visceral hatred of anyone or anything that abuses animals, kills them for trophies, or uses them as props. There is no clearer indicator of someone's values than how they treat animals. Parading an elephant through this room is such an apt reflection of today's Texas GOP.

@jonathanreports The workers have been moving slow as molasses and are just building the scaffold taller and wider than necessary. It’s like they’re colliding with the White House!
