Pat Ryan is PISSED OFF after Republicans called off a vote to stop Trump’s War in Iran, and sent Congress home for Memorial Day Weekend. THIS is the type of anger that we should all be feeling right now.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH — @DavidAFrench: “Trump's version of a ‘deal’ is somebody maybe says something positive, then he announces a deal or just makes it up entirely… He is constantly promoting deals that don't exist. Victories that never happened.”

Exactly.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Republicans are complaining that Virginia’s new electoral map favors Democrats. They should use their newfound realization that gerrymandering is antidemocratic to work together with Democrats—and ban it, @AdamSerwer argues. https://t.co/YZsw21zkBX

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

A poll he doesn’t like: “It’s a rigged poll.”

An election he loses: “The election was rigged. It was stolen.”

A court ruling that goes against him: “The entire process was rigged. Judge was unfair to me.”

Media coverage he doesn’t like: “Fake news. I’ll sue em.”

What a weak, pathetic, cowardly way to go thru life. He always plays the victim.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump is now attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while posting images of himself as a messianic figure.

This is not only offensive. It is deranged, egomaniacal behavior.

When will Republicans in Congress stop blindly following this dangerous and unhinged man?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I’ve always believed that one of our jobs as leaders is to pass the baton on to the next generation –– and to give them the resources and support they need to lead us forward. On National Run for Office Day, check out @RFSCivics for the resources you need. https://t.co/r9SJeKOLKK

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

He will stop at nothing to try to fuck with and cancel the midterms. Nothing. And when the midterms happen, and when he & his party get obliterated (one of his favorite words), he will never accept the results, he will say the election was “stolen,” and he will stop at nothing to delegitimize the entire election. And when your children ask you why he will do all of this, tell them the truth - because he’s democracy’s enemy and he’s a traitor to this country.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

This is vindictive, fascist stuff.

We need a non partisan watchdog at the FCC, not a partisan attack dog.

If Carr continues down this route, Democrats will hold him accountable. Threatening broadcasters’ licenses for war coverage this administration doesn’t like is the worst thing Carr has done - and that’s saying something.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Graham Platner: “Every single breath we take discussing culture war stuff is a breath we are not talking about universal healthcare. It’s a breath we are not talking about going after wealth where it’s been hoarded. Not talking about breaking up corporate monopoly power. That’s what we need to be focusing on. But we do not sell people out. A politics that is willing to sell anyone out will eventually sell everyone out”

[David Frum @davidfrum]

As I keep reminding people: If as late as 2024 you still trusted things Trump said, then that is very much a "YOU" problem, not a "HIM" problem.

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.”

The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. https://t.co/U5pJIco7Vn

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

In 2019, @KamalaHarris warned us about Trump and Iran, but you didn't like her laugh so you ignored her:

"If this president is thinking about putting us in a position where we are at war with Iran, the consequences will be absolutely unacceptable and tragic in terms of the young men and women who are American soldiers who would be sent and deployed into something that was completely avoidable."

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

More than 3x as many U.S. troops have been killed under Donald Trump (71) as under Joe Biden (19).

Yet if you listened to MAGA and the media, you’d think Biden was the one recklessly getting Americans killed.

The truth is the exact opposite.

And with Trump’s destructive foreign policy and unstable behavior, that number is almost certainly going to rise again. For no good reason.

May God protect our troops. 🇺🇸

[DASS @DemsOfState]

🚨 Trump is pushing the SAVE Act to make it harder for eligible voters to cast a ballot - especially against the GOP.

Kristi Noem said it herself: “...we’ve been proactive to make sure that we have the *right people* voting, electing the *right leaders* to lead this country.”

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

Trump and the entire Republican party have spent 6 years searching high and low for voter fraud in the 2020 election. They’ve found nothing. Nada. Zilch.

So why do they want millions of citizens to fight through bureaucratic red tape just to solve a problem that doesn’t exist?

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Donald Trump is trying to shake the confidence of American voters, nationalize elections, and take them for his own.

We're not going to tolerate it.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

Today’s American History Lesson: Puerto Rico has been part of the U.S. since 1898, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917 🇵🇷 🇺🇸

We’ve cheered many non-Americans at the #SuperBowl. Bad Bunny isn’t one of them.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

For decades, Republicans have been almost as adamant about the Fourth amendment as the Second, you know, the one about people being "secure in their persons, houses" and being protected "against unreasonable searches and seizures." And, again, it's the word "people," not "citizens." But I guess it doesn't apply to all people. https://t.co/E1uHYflPMu

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

He complains more than any human being who’s ever lived.
