Michael Cohen: “Mr. Trump claimed [his medical deferment] was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery…He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.’”
(February 2019)
Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton writes in his book that Trump encouraged the Chinese dictator to continue building concentration camps used to detain millions of Uighur Muslims:
“At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang.
According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China."
BREAKING: Legendary shock jock Howard Stern showers Joe Biden with praise and tells him that "we're lucky to have" him as president — and BRUTALLY tears into Donald Trump.
Stern has known Trump for years, so MAGA is furious...
"What are we debating!? A man picked up the phone and wanted to say 'fake the election, give me eleven thousand votes," said Stern during an interview with Biden.
"I don't know how any American who loves this country... That's the end of the debate! You don't get to run if you're going to fix an election," he added.
"Look, I think I said on January 6th when they were storming the Capitol and he would say nothing," said Biden. "He was sitting in that dining area off the Oval Office for three hours and said nothing."
"It was derelict. It was almost criminal," he went on. "He did nothing. He just sat there and watched what was happening. Now he calls them 'patriots' and 'victims' and says he's going to pardon them all if he's reelected."
Elsewhere in the interview, Biden really laid into Trump, slamming him for promising a "bloodbath" if he loses in November.
"We have a fundamentally different value set," explained Biden. "For example, when he was in Paris, he wouldn't go to that gravesite and said they're ‘losers.’ These men and women who were killed in battle, defending America. I'm glad I wasn't there because I think I would have... My son's in one of those graves, in one of the graves back here, not there. The idea that they're losers and suckers?"
"I can't fathom a President of the United States saying that the folks who died defending this country were ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,'" Biden added.
Towards the end of the interview, Stern thanked Biden for all that he's done and listed some of his key accomplishments.
"I want to thank you for doing this today. I want to thank you for your compassion," said Stern. "The reason I'm so excited to talk to you was because I wanted to understand the tragedy in your life and how you dealt with it."
"And you're the kind of leader I love," he went on. "We're lucky to have you in the Oval Office and serving as the father of the country because if you're a good father to your family, which you are, I know you'll be a good father to the country."
"And I want to thank you for providing a calming influence, an organized administration post-COVID, getting that vaccine out," Stern continued. "I remember what the world was like at that point, getting NATO, getting us to feel comfortable, standing up to Putin. I could read you greatest hits but I'm being give the 'hi sign' but the incredible, large growth in the jobs, unemployment rate down."
"I don't know what people are looking for in a president or maybe it's that people don't feel like they're getting enough," he said. "I don't know what it is but I'll give you your greatest hits..."
"The lowest uninsured rate in history, four out of five Americans are covered for less than ten dollars a month," Stern said. "Knocking off a few ISIS leaders. Cutting the emissions in half. I mean you've always been an environmentalist. Even the marijuana reform laws. Enough with the sitting there and fighting that battle! Respect for Marriage Act. What the hell is wrong with people with this gay stuff? Who cares if someone's gay. How is it affecting anybody. People in love, it's good right?"
Stern's genuine admiration for Biden couldn't be clearer.
Biden's administration has been a historic success and the responsibility now falls to us to ensure that he gets a second term. Democracy depends upon it.

I find it incredibly inspiring that a guy who
- struggled with a stutter his whole life
- lost his wife and daughter in a tragic car crash
- lost his son to brain cancer
- was on the verge of losing in the 2020 primaries
He kept getting knocked down by life, but Joe Biden overcame adversity, rose to the occasion, and WON the presidency.
And then he got right to work with transformative, consequential actions that helped save America:
- Created 15 million jobs
- Created 800,000 manufacturing jobs here in U.S.
- Lowered unemployment and kept it under 4% for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT
- Forgave $142 billion in student debt for 3.9 million borrowers
- Passed MAJOR bipartisan Infrastructure bill
- Reduced insulin to no more than $35/month
- Historic funding for HBCUs
Meanwhile, his opponent:
- lost popular vote TWICE
- lost the House and Senate
- cheated on all of his wives
- squandered millions he was given
- committed and was indicted for 91 felonies
- sexually assaulted women and BRAGGED about it
- called our fallen soldiers "suckers and losers"
- stiffed a ton of blue collar workers and contractors
- stepped on little guys on his way up (including the co-founders of Truth Social that he's suing)
- totally BOTCHED the response to COVID, with lies that led to the deaths of over a million people
- managed to lose more jobs than any American President since Herbert Hoover
- tried to extort the President of Ukraine
- incited insurrection at the Capitol.
- wanted to nuke hurricanes
- rage tweeted and golfed
- Lied 30,000+ times
Biden is a better human being, a better leader, a better President.
He's more mature, compassionate, and responsible.
He's a few years older, but way more experienced and capable.
That's why I'm voting for President Biden. 🇺🇸💙
BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin goes for Donald Trump’s jugular and demands that he return the $7.8 million his companies corruptly received from foreign governments while he was president.
This is perfect…
Taking the gloves off, Raskin sent a letter demanding the money be returned after a bombshell report from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee revealed that Trump used the White House to enrich his companies.
Twenty different foreign countries funneled money into Trump businesses — including China and Saudi Arabia, a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
"Your acceptance of foreign emoluments while in office was a stunning violation of the U.S. Constitution — and a profound betrayal of the interests of the United States and the trust of the American people," wrote Raskin.
Crucially, Raskin pointed out that the $7.8 million is just the tip of the iceberg because Republicans scuttled the investigation before it could uncover the full extent of the corruption.
"Critically, the report was unable to provide a full accounting of the total amount of foreign emoluments you accepted as President, and thus, was unable to determine precisely what you owe to the American people," Raskin wrote. "You spent years litigating against the Committee to prevent us from obtaining any documents regarding the foreign emoluments you received while in office."
Raskin put the problem in simple terms: these countries gave money to Trump's companies because they wanted "favors and specific policy outcomes from" Trump and his administration, many of which they obtained.
Returning the money is a good start, but justice will not be served until Trump is prosecuted for turning the White House into a personal moneymaking scam.

Blake Corum: "I just want to be remembered as a Michigan Man. Someone who did good on the field, but also did good in the community, did good in the classroom and laid a foundation for the next generation. That's honestly how I want to be remembered."
This @UMichFootball team had an avg. recruiting class outside top 10 in last 4 years...Their talent composition was 14th in CFB...They had only two 5* players on the roster
These facts provide a tremendous boost to whole sport as many will now believe that can also win it all
BREAKING: Home Depot’s billionaire Founder drops bombshell, reveals that he will throw his money behind indicted 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — even if he’s found guilty and convicted of insurrection and trying to steal Biden’s win.
But it gets WORSE…
The Founder, Bernie Marcus shamelessly declared today that the Justice Department’s prosecution of Trump, although it has already produced mountains of incriminating evidence, is “all trumped up” — and that “of course” he will be “supporting” Trump in 2024 — despite the 91 felony charges against him.
Worse still, Marcus even published a fawning pro-Trump op-ed in which he urged voters to “not let Trump’s brash style be the reason we walk away from his otherwise excellent stewardship of the United States during his first term in office.”
The Home Depot Founder’s delusional remarks speak volumes — because there was nothing “excellent” about Trump’s presidential term — which culminated in a deadly insurrection after a ghoulishly mismanaged Covid outbreak that led to millions of Americans losing their lives and the alienation of America’s top allies around the globe.
Sorry, Bernie Marcus, but just because Trump showered billionaires like you with tax cuts doesn’t mean that he was a good president — and it certainly doesn’t mean that Trump deserves to become president again in 2024.

No, debt isn't out of control under Biden.
The debt as a share of the GDP has actually fallen since Biden took office.
A tax on stock buybacks. A minimum corporate income tax. Funding the IRS to take on rich tax cheats.
All of these things are, in fact, reducing the deficit.

As a direct result of Senator Tuberville’s dangerous blockade of military promotions—for the sake of his own personal political agenda—our Marines have no Commandant for the first time in 164 years.
This is a national disgrace.
BREAKING: Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie finally strikes a nerve with his arch-enemy Donald Trump as his latest line of attack causes the indicted ex-president to angrily lash back.
Christie found Trump's weak spot during a conversation with conservative hack Pier Morgan on Fox News Tonight. He slammed Trump for the Big Lie about the 2020 election and then went for the jugular.
"He didn’t build the wall in Mexico," said Christie. "He built 47 miles of wall and guess what? We paid for every nickel of it, we don’t have the first peso from Mexico."
The 47 miles bit is apparently a reference to the paltry stretch of new structures actually erected during Trump's time in office.
Trump blew his top when he heard the remarks and unleashed a furious rant on Truth Social—
"Sloppy Chris Christie, who is polling at 1% and left his State, New Jersey, with an Approval Rating of 9% (the WORST number in State History), was interviewed on FoxNews (of course!) and stated that I only built 47 miles of Border Wall, knowing that the actual number is 463 Miles, as reported by the Department of Homeland Security," Trumped ranted.
"This does not include many Miles that we fixed or renovated, or areas that I got Mexico to secure. BEST BORDER EVER!”
Not done there, Trump later posted to claim that Christie "desperately wanted to join the Trump Administration, but I said ‘NO!’" and "CHRIS CHRISTIE IS A TOTAL LOSER!"
Clearly, Trumps failure to deliver on his trademark campaign promise is an incredibly sore topic for him. We now know one reliable way to get under his skin.
