The president’s primetime address was a smoke screen to distract us from new foreign wars, unsafe food, and high prices squeezing everyday families.

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

“Nothing in this speech lowers gas prices. It doesn’t make groceries safer. It doesn’t stop wars. Americans are tired of distractions. We need leaders focused on making life better today, NOT yesterday’s grievances." - @KaseVirginia, President and CEO of Common Cause

🔥🔥🔥 “Nominating a staunch, sycophantic loyalist as attorney general right before the midterms isn’t a coincidence. It is a nefarious and calculated decision. It’s no secret that undermining the DOJ’s integrity is part of President Trump’s broader playbook to subvert the midterm elections.”

"Our democracy deserves an Attorney General who serves the people—not the president."

Our President & CEO @KaseVirginia lays out exactly what's at stake in her latest @DemocracyDocket op-ed.

The Senate must reject Todd Blanche's nomination.

@KaseVirginia @CommonCause The person who tried to cover up President Trump’s association with Epstein, demonized survivors, and undermined Congressional oversight should not be the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.

I feel seen—as someone who has used em dashes liberally since law school.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

You've probably heard the theory that em dashes mean someone has used AI.
AP Stylebook Editor Anna Jo Bratton disagrees in a blog post that acknowledges it would be helpful to have a clear and obvious tell when AI is the author. She writes: Unfortunately, that tell is not the em dash, which has been around for many years. In fact, they are so ubiquitous in AP lingo, we just call them dashes.

Is it really too much to ask for both? 😓

[David French @DavidAFrench]

How about we stop looking for "authenticity" in politicians and instead look for virtue?

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

This is horrible. And it’s not a coincidence that this kind of attack making false claims about child safety was targeted at a gay marriage.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

@DavidAFrench 💯💯💯

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

This made me LOL. But I desperately wish we were in a different timeline.

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

This is the plan. It’s always been their plan. Hate. Subversion. Oppression.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Change the voters, change the country.

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

Nixon resigned because members of his own party concluded he had abused the presidency and broken the law. Calling that an overreaction doesn’t rewrite history. It reveals just how far the Trump admin and today’s GOP has moved from the basic idea that no one, including the president, is above the law.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

Sounds like the Democratic Party needed some shaking up! Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

I love this look!

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

He said it. Not me!

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[Omar Noureldin @OmarCommonCause]

The president’s statements are becoming progressively harder to follow and understand. He appears unhinged and unfit to serve. The cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump was just pressed at length by @edokeefe on his claims that vandals are responsible for the state of the reflecting pool, and it did not go well

REPORTER: 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.

REPORTER: But National Guard and police have been all over the Mall. How would these vandals have gotten so close to do something like that?

TRUMP: ... ... ...

REPORTER: In April said the guy was gonna do the reflecting pool in a week for about a million dollars. It's been two months and $16.5 million

TRUMP: Are you ready? Barack Hussein Obama
