U.S. President Donald Trump:
"We are made in the courage, fire, flesh, and blood of the best and the bravest people this world has ever produced. Tonight, we pledge allegiance to the flag they gave us - and we say, "God bless the immortal patriots of 1776, and LONG LIVE THE CAUSE OF INDEPENDENCE!""
.@POTUS: "We can only lose the midterms if we allow ourselves to lose the midterms—if we are foolish, stupid, and unwise. But if we terminate the filibuster as we should do, and immediately vote for the SAVE America Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years...
The Communist Party is made up of illegal immigrants, criminals, and everybody that doesn’t want to work."
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just went full-blown WAR MODE for the SAVE America Act, telling Congressional leadership the rule will be DEFEATED unless SAVE is attached to the NDAA
"I don’t care who in this chamber hates me for it."
"We have feckless leadership in the Senate refusing to pass the SAVE America Act."
"Should I also mention there are members in my own chamber who are more concerned about putting Senators in a “tough spot” on the NDAA than passing SAVE America. Did you not all run on this and promise this to your voters?"
"So yes, 1,000%, the rule will go down until you attach the SAVE America Act."
The current plan being proposed by HOUSE GOP to “MIRV” NDAA + SAVE AMERICA is a procedural head fake. This does not do anything but guarantee the Senate will EASILY TAKE OUT SAVE America from the NDAA.
HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP SHOULD allow an AMENDMENT to ATTACH VOTER ID + PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP or SAVE America to the ACTUAL TEXT of NDAA.
IF IT IS NOT DONE THIS WAY, IT WILL EASILY BE TAKEN OUT.
If we do it as an amendment, the way that I proposed it, the Senate would need 60 votes to pass the legislation without SAVE America attached. Meaning it would be harder for them to TAKE it out.
I shot this video 14 years ago today from inside the Jefferson Memorial, showing the Derecho of 2012.
Driving home took a few hours that night because I had to wait for crews to clear fallen trees from the roads. It was really weird to see the entire area blacked out due to a widespread power outage. @capitalweather
Happy Father’s Day from the White House!

while we're improving washington dc, there's literally no downside to replacing this useless field with a greco deco gladiator arena made of hand carved marble
