Today is our 51st wedding anniversary! Franni’s been my life partner from the time we met freshman year of college to this day. We’ve grown up together. She’s the best girlfriend, wife, mother, grandma, and friend. Thanks, honey. Here’s to another 51!

Holy shit Biden tears into Trump and he sounds great:

“The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption. The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.

Trump has made billions of dollars since returning to the White House. Simply stunning to me.

He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing for the country. Trump couldn’t care less.

Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president.”

Wishing Christine Wells Wonsley a beautiful birthday. She is a mother whose love for Nolan shines through everything she does, and her strength in carrying his legacy forward is something we are honored to witness. We see you, Christine. We stand with you. We will always continue saying his name. Nolan Wells.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The President of the United States of America blocked access to the free press and launched state-run media.

This is authoritarianism in action. 

We can end his unchecked power when we take back Congress this November. VOTE.

🚨TRUMP IS GOING TO LOSE HIS MIND: JB Pritzker says Trump is “everything that the founders warned us about” and calls him “an uncontrollable, narcissistic, authoritarian president who thinks he is a king.”

Trump is a DEMENTED TYRANT.

You’re damn right Stephen Miller, because absolutely no one is above the law!

Our national symbols matter, and they belong to all of us—not just one man.

A big thank you to everyone who turned out to protect the Kennedy Center this weekend. Keep going.

BREAKING: LOL! Trump gets publicly humiliated at his big White House helipad event after the major outlets refused to give him a press pool — resulting in a lack of audio for his ranting remarks.

This one really backfired bigly on him...

"Yeah there— Okay, so there is no microphone because... There's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there," said a Newsmax host reporting on the incident. "So maybe, Tim, this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit."

The video showed Trump cutting a ribbon to celebrate his hideous new White House helipad, but viewers couldn't hear what he was saying because of the press pool's absence. Since the reporters didn't show up, there were no high-quality professional microphones present.

On Friday, Trump barred CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House on the grounds that they're supposedly "fake news," which just means that they accurately report on his disastrous administration.

In retaliation, CBS News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News banded together to announce that they would be suspending press pool coverage of Trump.

"The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should reject a news organization because it objects to its reporting," they said in a joint statement.

The press pool is a dedicated, rotating group of journalists, complete with cameras and audio equipment, that travels with the President to provide outlets with a steady stream of updates on his latest remarks and actions. They also provide video footage when he delivers a speech or attends a noteworthy event. It's clearly something that the attention-obsessed Trump took for granted. He failed to game this attack on the free press out and now he's paying the price.

And you just know that this is exactly the kind of thing that gets under his skin. He's fixated on all of these "renovations" and building projects, and he was presumably looking forward to this helipad unveiling. What should have been a moment of gloating and self-congratulation turned into a display of muted helplessness.

Please ❤️ and share to thank the news outlets for taking a stand!
