.@SarahAMatthews1 reacts to a USPS whistleblower’s warning that Trump’s proposed rushed new system could cause a “catastrophic failure” of mail voting ahead of the midterms.
.@SarahAMatthews1 reacts to President Trump personally calling Apple to pressure them to change Lake Ontario to “Lake America” while Americans struggle to afford gas and groceries. Priorities!
.@SarahAMatthews1 reacts to Trump mocking Americans as “backwards and poor” for not wanting data centers while making it harder for them to have a say over data centers coming to their communities.
.@SarahAMatthews1 on Trump "renaming" Lake Ontario and his tariffs on Canada: "This goes really hard if you are stupid...He thinks that he's hurting Canada by imposing them when all he's doing is hurting American families."
What’s embarrassing is pretending Trump’s latest toddler tantrum toward Canada is presidential rather than profoundly stupid.
Steve conveniently left out the part where I said Americans would rather Trump focus on the war, gas prices, measles, and food recalls. So here it is.
I bet this goes so fucking hard if you’re stupid.
Meanwhile, those of us with functioning brains are worried about a war no one wanted, high gas prices, contaminated food, expanding government surveillance, and a deadly measles outbreak. You know, little things.
.@SarahAMatthews1 reacts to the Trump administration floating the possibility of demolishing the Kennedy Center and replacing it with an outdoor amphitheater if a court blocks Trump’s renovation plans.
Natalie Harp is just the latest example of a much bigger problem. Aides have always gone to absurd lengths to curry favor with this president, and it creates this dysfunctional and cutthroat environment within the White House. I know, because I lived it. https://t.co/koFCnZtPxV
Natalie Harp may be the latest aide to turn loyalty to Trump into something stranger and more extreme. But @SarahAMatthews1, who worked in Trump's first White House, says she’s hardly an outlier. https://t.co/koFCnZtPxV
"I heard plenty of stories about the absurd lengths people went to for 'the boss.' Staff reportedly steamed his pants while he was still wearing them. Trump would also ask aides to take mirrors from events if he thought they made him look especially flatteringly slim."

.@SarahAMatthews1: “Long before Harp sprinted down the fairways of a Scottish golf course in an effort to catch up with Trump’s motorcade, I heard plenty of stories about the absurd lengths people went to for “the boss.”
Staff reportedly steamed his pants while he was still wearing them.”https://t.co/TNsbiJweLi
Lots to unpack in this Natalie Harp letter, but this line in particular stood out to me:
“I was approaching burnout, and starting to envy those whose only ‘job’ seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty.”
Lol.
.@SarahAMatthews1 reacts to Scott Jennings’ outrage over Sen. Ossoff’s “travel with Natalie” comment and the glaring double standard in his defense of Trump.
.@SarahAMatthews1 calls out Republicans clutching their pearls over Jon Ossoff while spending years excusing Trump’s relentless degradation of women: “Watching the faux outrage from Republicans over this remark from Senator Ossoff...is absolutely ridiculous.”
.@SarahAMatthews1 on the ten Trump-endorsed candidates who have lost their primaries so far. Trump loves taking credit for every win, so it only seems fair that we keep track of the losses too.
