Donald trump just criticized the existing trade deal, and asked "who the hell came up with some of these trade deals?"

I'll just leave this here.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

A senior in Washington just called my office, terrified of the repercussions of Trump’s funding freeze.

“I’m on SNAP and Medicaid. I don’t know what I’m going to do or how I’m going to live.”

People are legitimately scared for their lives, and it's Trump’s fault.

Hey MAGAS,
Remember when Donald Trump told you that your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were safe?
He was lying and 75 million of us knew he was lying.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, on serial lying sociopath Trump devastating people's lives. Medicaid is a life saver for approximately 72 million Americans. What Trump is doing is unconscionable. 😳👇

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

This latest move by the Trump Administration may impact everything from veteran programs to Medicaid to disaster relief. This isn’t just chaotic, it’s hurting Georgia families.

The Trump administration must rescind this federal grant freeze *now*.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Republicans lied about lowering the high cost of living for everyday Americans.

Far right extremists have instead issued an illegal OMB order.

They are stealing money from Medicaid, SNAP and Head Start in a scheme to reward their billionaire friends.

We won’t let this stand.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke."

School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants.

Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people.

All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump's government funding shutdown - Medicaid, cancer research, elementary schools - is cataclysmic by itself.

But together with the pardon of the rioters, the firing of the IGs, etc. it's a brazen, transparent effort to seize power.

Let's start acting like it.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you."

Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid.

This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Look, I'm not trying to take a shot at the military service of either one of these gentlemen. I respect the sacrifices BOTH of them have made in defense of the country. I was using this as an example of the hypocrisy of the "outrage" of DEI and the fake beIief in "merit".

Regardless of how you personally feel about the guy on the right he is clearly unqualified to hold such a high position. He has no experience in Ieading any organization anywhere near the size and budget of the Secretary of Defense. His nomination has nothing to do with "merit". If "merit" was the standard he would be no where near the conversation for Secretary of Defense. No knock to him but it's the truth.

For any BIack person to even be mentioned in the same breath as "someone" as unquaIified as him, weII they wouId have to have heId damn near every Ieadership position possibIe in muItipIe organizations to even be CONSIDERED.

That's the onIy point I was trying to make. l'm not advocating for DEl, Democrats or RepubIicans.
Thanks

Donald Trump did absolutely none of the things people are saying Kamala needed to do to win.

None.

At this point I am not buying any of the arguments being made about why we lost other than this one. I didn’t go full @ElieNYC but I’m trying.

Truth.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Vance is mad that he just got factchecked by moderator Margaret Brennan over the legality of Haitian migrants in Springfield.

Think about the world we live in - where Republicans openly get MAD at the prospect of FACTCHECKING.

Tells you everything.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Blocking idiot Republicans is not a threat to Democracy as JD Vance suggests.

Trying to disenfranchise voters is.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Trump’s most self-damaging lie of the night…

“He said Democrats and everyone wanted Roe v. Wade overturned. Here’s the problem with that lie: it was his worst lie of the night because he was lying to the voters about the voters. He was lying about you, and you know it.�� @Lawrence

[Haitian American Foundation for Democracy @weare_haffd]

Statement of the Haitian-American Foundation for Democracy

Once again, the Trump/Vance team shamelessly exploits Haitians as scapegoats during their bid for the presidency.

Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance and several congressional leaders have spread dangerous falsehoods, demonizing Haitian immigrants as homeless and hungry invaders that represent a threat to Ohioans — even suggesting they pose a danger to pets.

This reckless fear-mongering puts vulnerable communities at risk, stokes division, and incites hate crimes. Local law enforcement, faith communities, and social services must be supported in protecting these new community members from harm.

The simple truth is that towns like Springfield, Ohio, whose economy were in decline, have been revitalized by the influx of Haitian and other legal immigrants. As these communities adjust to demographic changes, this transitional period should be viewed as an opportunity for growth and collaboration, not for sowing confusion and fear.

We urge all Haitian-Americans and our allies to counter these vile attacks by actively engaging in the democratic process, promoting inclusivity. By doing so, we can help ensure that all members of society are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect.

For more information, please contact Ariel Dominique, HAFFD Executive Director, at [phone].

We are witnessing, in real time, one of the biggest failures of curiosity in the history of journalism.

Katy Tur, squatting in the same building as trump at the RNC, is practicing her best tone of respectful reverence and fangirling as she looks at the mattress-sized gauze on the side of trump's head, and it doesn't occur to her to inquire what he was treated for.

Did he get stitches? If so, how many? Why is the bandage so insanely huge? The photographs didn't appear to show any discernible wound whatsoever.

No, these jackasses are reserving their most harsh interrogations for President Biden, demanding to know if he watched the entire debate from 14 fucking days ago, and who is he listening to, and for the 100th time, is he sure he doesn't want to drop out.

In fact, President Biden has politely attempted to steer the press' focus back to doing their jobs, asking Lester Holt why nobody's asking trump about the 28 lies he told during that debate.

It's outrageous. If you're going to subject one candidate to a body cavity-exam level of scrutiny, subject BOTH candidates to it.

Come on, you can't adequately or honestly "both sides" anything if you're only scrutinizing one side.

Nobody has even asked trump about the discrepancy of denying his involvement with Project 2025 and the fact that he knows many of its planners, and it mentions his name hundreds of times. FAILURE OF CURIOSITY.

Where are the questions about his weird fixation on Hannibal Lecter, or sharks, or any of the other batshit things he gets away with saying at all times?

How about asking him why he admitted to a discussion with Putin BEFORE the Ukraine invasion, or why he said Putin would release hostages to him, and not President Biden?

What about asking him why he was tooling around with the authoritarian leader of Hungary?

It does seem like, even prior to the shooting this weekend, the press has wrapped trump in a protective gauze as ridiculously oversized as his ear mattress.

He's not even the sitting President, but many members of the press have granted him immunity from asking him any fucking questions.

They're even allowing non-doctors to accuse President Biden of having dementia, while saying that trump DOES NOT -- and not an iota of pushback.

Once again, it's a disgraceful display of burying Biden under an avalanche of insipid inquiries and bullshit while extending utmost deference to a would-be dictator who plans to lock many of them up if he wins.

And they are shamelessly helping him.
