Welp. Best of luck, everybody.

See you in four years - hope we’ve still got a country!

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

The chief difference between the Republican and Democratic parties. When dems have a rapist nominee, they cut them loose. When Republicans have one, they elect him president.

UPDATE: Graham Platner suspends Maine Senate bid.

Ugh. So embarrassing. Still surreal 77 millions Americans voted for this guy.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

😳 Trump just flubbed his way through his meeting with Zelenskyy, at various points referring to the "Islamic Republic of Japan," repeatedly calling Zelenskyy "President Putin," and railing against the "JCPOC"

Here's the blooper reel:

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize that in 100 years historians are going to use it as shorthand to summarize the whole era you're living through right now.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

Sometimes I forget just what a little bitch Trump is.

[CHARLIE COTTON @hicharliecotton]

Fencing going up around Reflecting Pool

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

Probably antifa.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: Are the contractors who did the initial work for the reflecting pool to blame for the condition of it?

TRUMP: No no. We had vandalism. They went in there with a knife.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

‘Murica.

[Andrew Leyden @PenguinSix]

Crews continue to pump out the dead algae from the reflecting pool.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

people who helped Donald Trump become president should be ashamed of themselves for having contributed to the degradation of our country.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

The Reflecting Pool is green.

The White House is a construction zone.

The Rose Garden is a concrete patio.

The South Lawn is dead.

The Kennedy Center is draped in tarps.

Trump really knows how to make Washington look great.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

These people are irredeemable. Just too far gone.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Several women said they’d be willing to give up their right to vote if it meant creating a more conservative country at the Turning Point USA Women’s Leadership Summit recently held in San Antonio, Texas. https://t.co/J4KKj8Nver

[Brandon Waltens @bwaltens]

NEW: @GregAbbott_TX says the spread of New World screwworm into Texas poses an “imminent threat” of widespread damage to the state's livestock industry and economy.

He's now declared a disaster for all 254 Texas counties.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

I’m concerned about Trump using ICE as a private military force to discourage people of color from voting. He’s already demonstrated a willingness to attempt to overturn elections. Why would ‘26 be any different?

[Livingston County Conservative Party @LivingstonCtyCP]

First, law enforcement should be coordinating and supporitng one another, not intentionally denied the opportunity to do so.

Second, why should ICE be banned from polling places? What are illegal aliens doing at voting locations anyway?

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

Wait, why are gas prices up? I’m confused.

[Rob Ortt @SenatorOrtt]

Families are feeling pain at the pump. It's time to provide real relief.

The @nysenategop is calling on Governor @KathyHochul to work collaboratively with our Republican caucus to immediately suspend the state gas tax.

Our full letter is in the first link in the comments.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

The most corrupt administration in US history.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

The top lawyer at the Treasury Department stepped down in the wake of the creation of that $1.8 billion 'slush fund' that could soon be making payments to Trump's political allies — and reportedly even Jan. 6 insurrectionists, according to three people familiar with the move.

Brian Morrissey, the Treasury's general counsel, resigned from the position just seven months after he was confirmed. https://t.co/c9ihfUg3oc

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

Yes. This.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I think American taxpayers are upset because you took a 7 month family reality show road trip subsidized by the American taxpayer and paid for by corporations you regulate, while not doing your actual job—which incidentally is also paid for by taxpayers who are paying an enormous amount for gas because of a war your boss launched and can’t get out of.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

This is an insane (and embarrassing) headline, @13WHAM.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

It’s hard to be a proud American while a dipshit like this is in office.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Trump on his call with Putin: "Ukraine, militarily, they're defeated. You wouldn't know that by reading the fake news."

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. https://t.co/ehhCCzys1D

But Hunter’s paintings…

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Eric Trump -- the president's son -- is on Maria Bartiromo's show bragging about one of his companies landing a $24 million Pentagon contract

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

If the next president (a democrat, god-willing) got 8 straight years with democratic majorities in both houses of congress, I’m not convinced they’d be able to undo the damage a Trump has done in his first 15 months in office.

[Sean Parnell @SeanParnellASW]

STATEMENT:

Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately.

On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy.

We wish him well in his future endeavors.

Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy.

[Matt Leader @Leadermeister]

Deep corruption from Trump’s lapdog.

Midterms can’t come fast enough.

Yesterday’s news: Allegations of drinking on the job and disappearing without explanation.
