our mentally-compromised president is humiliating the United States in front of the entire world

Trump's body makes some sort of horrible sound while he rants about the "rigged election"

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

When both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal call out Trump’s Iran deal as a U.S. defeat, that’s telling.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: US officials have now confirmed in a briefing that Iran will get full access to a total of $100 billion in frozen funds and the $300 billion reconstruction fund, both included in the deal with implementation now underway, per WSJ.

More than $150 billion of the fund has already been committed, directly contradicting Trump's claims that the US would not contribute to the $300 billion fund, per Reuters.

Donald Trump is breaking all of his promises, and he thinks you're too stupid to notice.

[Andy Ostroy @AndyOstroy]

Look at the angry, bullying, disrespectful, degrading, and defiant manner in which he talks to her. And then imagine being @ejeancarroll, or the 20 women who’ve accused him of sexual assault, or the woman who says he raped her when she was 13. And then tell me whether you think THIS guy is capable of those things…

So Ivanka claims she came across this island swimming in the Mediterranean and she came ashore barefoot to explore the islands😂😂

Here is the problem with this: First, the island is in the Adriatic Sea. Secondly, the Albanians say the island is full of snakes making her barefoot story implausible. Lastly, in the words of Steve Schmidt, the island is full of landmines thus making her extremely lucky or a liar. I’m going with liar.

He lies like the rest of us breathe

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

It’s repetitive but still vital to say. There is NOTHING to Trump’s vote fraud assertions. There was nothing to them in 2016. Nothing in 2020. Nothing in 2024. Nothing in 2026. NOTHING AT ALL.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I don't know why any of you haters are surprised I'm the one actually engaging here.

You're the ones who've obsessively pored over the 10,000 photos, the 30,000 text messages, and the 128,000 emails from my hacked iCloud and stolen devices.

If I am anything, I am prolific.

You know what you won't find? Any of the most heinous, hateful things you keep posting about me.

What you'll find from me here is the same thing you found there.

Total transparency. Finally on my terms. Not yours.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Scott Pelley Sounded Like A Man Attending A Funeral.

Not for a person.

For a profession.

🔥 That’s why his defense of journalism hit so hard.

Scott Pelley confirmed on the record that CBS management ordered him to “inject falsehoods” into 60 Minutes coverage.

He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network.

He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.”

Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News.

He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.

The Paramount-Skydance merger closed.

The new ownership installed Weiss. Pelley is the most senior on-air voice at CBS News describing what’s happening inside.

This is what institutional capture sounds like from inside the institution.

This is just crime

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Sen. Murphy to Mullin: "Will you or will you not implement court orders?"

Mullin: "If we didn't think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that. But we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political opinion, not just the rule of law."

Murphy: "...If you're a Republic or a Democrat on this committee, you should be really, really freaked out."

Tough break for the Trump Ballroom

Senate Parliamentarian rules the $1 billion project will require 60 votes for approval, per Senate Budget Cmte Democrats

Very very steep climb

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc
