It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million.

Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

He took America to war - killing 13 soldiers, thousands of Iranian civilians and costing taxpayers $60 billion - to get rid of Iran’s missile program.

And now that he’s lost the war, he pretends like it’s no big deal.

Just unforgivable. What a charlatan.

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

Don't forget, Republicans SLASHED health care funding to afford tax breaks for the wealthiest people in our country.

So while Americans go into debt to afford the life-saving care they need, Trump and his billionaire buddies are getting richer every day.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Joy Behar: “I’m so tired of Donald Trump, I can barely talk about him anymore. I am so sick of his stupidity, his dishonor, the way he talks about people, the way he presents himself to children, the way he curses and swears about people, the fact he’s so incompetent at what he does, the fact these Republicans stick by him no matter what. Why are Americans putting up with this?”

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

President Obama masterfully negotiated an agreement that prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Trump tore it up and went to war—only to lose the lives of 13 brave Americans, raise prices at the pump, and sign a failure of a “deal” that costs taxpayers billions.

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

To conclude this is a cult at work is too simple.
Trump isn't dragging a cult around.
He just happens to speak for the part of America that is hateful, racist and selfish. If ignorance is a cult he joined theirs. Despicable ill mannered children who are frightened by kindness and empathy.
Here is the bad news. They are never going away. The wealthy have adopted them for their own selfish purposes.
We outnumber them .
Kindness wins over time.
Hatred backed by billions is still hatred and anathema to peace.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

No truer words...

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

AI deepfake videos make candidates appear to say things they never said. We’ve seen that in Kentucky, Texas and now in Vermont.

These outrageous lies are a direct threat to democracy.

Congress needs to act NOW.

How do I tell neighbor that her frequent screaming at her dogs to be quiet is more annoying than the dogs barking?
Am thinking about anonymously send copy of "Dog Training For Dummies" to her.

Scammers might contact you on the phone, over email, on social media, or with a text offering “free” medical supplies in exchange for your Medicare Number. Don’t respond! Report them online at https://t.co/yEi6sbcpv2 or call 1-800-MEDICARE.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.”

It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home.

Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨JB PRITZKER EMBARRASSES TRUMP:

This is huge! JB Pritzker just BALANCED the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit.

$0!!!!!

The media won't tell you about Democratic accomplishments, so SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE:

While Trump is cutting SNAP, Pritzker is helping families put food on the table.

While Trump's Iran war is driving up energy costs, Illinois is pausing the gas tax increase.

While Trump is building a ballroom, Illinois is funding schools, building housing, wiping out medical debt, and helping working families.

That's what Democratic governing looks like.

Pritzker is lowering costs.

Trump is RAISING them.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Asked today how he feels about negotiations with Iran collapsing, Trump said, "I couldn't care less."

You'd think the president of the United States would care about service members dying and millions paying more for gas because of his illegal and unconstitutional war.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Putin slaughters innocent Christians in Ukraine every day. He has killed more Christians than any leader in the world.

You know that, right?

As a fellow Christian, I find it appalling what Putin is doing. He could end this barbaric war in a day. If you get the chance to talk to him, please urge him to end his war against Christians.

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

“Trump has wrecked it. He has debased the People’s House with the aesthetic sensibilities of a pimp turned bankrupt casino operator and reality television performer, who confuses excess for greatness and spectacle for dignity. It’s appalling.”

Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. We will not stand by when comedy and journalism are censored and criminalized.
