“We are deeply disturbed to learn so many senior members of the Trump administration gathered in the Situation Room to discuss the release of the Epstein Files as a reputational problem… we are separately concerned Todd Blanche was at that table.”
Lieu: The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night.
The White House needs to explain why Donald Trump keeps going to the hospital and taking cognitive tests.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Donald Trump is preoccupied with pet projects like securing taxpayer funding for his gilded ballroom, plastering his face everywhere, and renaming airports after himself.
Our focus remains on everyday life, which gets better and more affordable when we replace this corrupt administration and its enablers in Congress with serious leaders ready to deliver.
If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.
Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
Why do they make signing in to play Nintendo games so freaking difficult?!?! Can we just have a family game time without spending several minutes logging in.
I am actually speechless. She bought a $6.99 bag from Goodwill, but she had NO idea she was taking home a 30-year-old family secret.
The note she found hidden under the flap explains everything... and let’s just say Martha is the undisputed queen of petty.
You have to watch until the end. I promise you won’t see that plot twist coming. 👜☕️
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Donald Trump is so fucking crazy that he can't even admit the Strait of Hormuz is currently closed, though that's 100% the reality we live in based on every conceivable metric capable of human measurement
You can't have a president who lives in his own reality, you just *can't*
Dear @FLOTUS: Actually, Congress did act. But @DAGToddBlanche is violating the law and refusing to release the Epstein files as required by law. He’s also the guy that said “I love you, sir” to your husband. You may want to talk to Blanche and ask him to act.
America is now on the clock.
We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment.
Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.
The United States is at war. Whether legally declared or not, we are at war. Personally, I am a huge supporter of Israel. In fact, right now several of my closest friends are in Israel and hiding in bomb shelters. I also am a person who firmly believes that Iran is evil, finances terrorism, and is a threat to America, Israel, and others. I support removing the Iranian regime. And yet, I find myself struggling to make sense of what is happening today.
Simply put, a Commander in Chief who lies as he breathes and who cannot be trusted told us only months ago that the nuclear program was obliterated by our last strategic attack. In fact, I supported that limited strike. However, the President lied about the result. As this attack today is not a limited strike, but what does look like an undeclared war, why didn’t the President prepare the nation for what is to come in his State of the Union this week? Why didn’t the President make the case to the American people? Why didn’t the President fulfill his constitutional obligations to the Congress and to America by starting this undeclared war?
While I support the effort to remove Iran as a threat, I also worry about the motivations of those who started this war. Does this have anything to do with knocking Epstein and the claims that the President raped a 13 year old off the front page? I don’t know. But the cover up in this administration is so big, it is a question that must be asked.
This week, the President announced that he is looking into executive actions to interfere with the upcoming elections. Does this undeclared war have anything to do with that? Will this war be used as the rationale for interference? Will they do interfere behind the news of this war with the assumption that they will not be held to account? Recently, the President joked that we do not need an election. This would be the moment that an untrustworthy Commander in Chief might engage in a growing attack on our Democracy and Constitution. Again, I support action against Iran but I don’t trust the motivations of this administration and worry about what is to come next here at home.
Finally, this war is not being executed from the secure White House. It is being executed from Mar A Lago, a facility that is simply not as secure as the White House and not a place where an American war should be waged. Why is the President not in DC prepared to act like an American President ready to answer to Congress and the American people?
