Trump loves to talk about the problems ruining America: immigrants, mail-in voting, and felons. Well, Trump married an immigrant, is a felon, and votes by mail.

@Tarquin_Helmet @twoshedsjohnny I’m Bob Ross and I approve this message.

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

When they’re out of power we have to listen to Republicans yammering about the national debt ad nauseum, including pretending Social Security is part of it when it’s not.

Donald Trump is now responsible for an astounding 27.7% of the national debt!

Stop electing these liars!

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

Here’s the part no one is saying:

The next president won’t get a real first term.
They’ll inherit a repair job.

Rebuilding alliances.
Restoring credibility.
Undoing damage.

An entire presidency spent fixing what Trump broke.

I wish conservatives understood one thing:

If it weren’t for blue states, the U.S. would be a third world country with broadband holes, broke schools, and zero innovation.

Red states take the federal money. Blue states make it.

You don’t fund the country, you drain it.

Bad ideas. No revenue. And the loudest voices are always the ones who bring the least to the table.

So in case anybody’s counting, today he called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.”
He is going to continue to do this.
He’s going to start calling them far worse.
Because nobody fucking stops him.

Total Jobs Created by Party (1989-2026):

Democratic Presidents
50,600,000

Republican Presidents
1,469,000

The biggest scam the GOP has ever pulled off is convincing people that Republicans are good for the economy.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

None of this means anything to MAGA. They will just keep claiming “fake news” until they literally have nothing left to call their own.

[Mark Zandi @Markzandi]

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy. Since that day, job growth has come to a standstill, with only the non-traded healthcare industry adding meaningfully to payrolls. Also, since that day, inflation has accelerated, with the consumer expenditure deflator increasing at a 3% year-over-year pace, up from 2.5% before the tariffs and well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. And the trend lines don’t look good, especially as the economic fallout from the Iran War hits with full force. The higher energy and other commodity prices caused by the war threaten to do even more economic damage than the tariffs, further undermining growth and pushing inflation higher. The U.S. economy is resilient, but just how resilient is set to be tested.

Spirit Airlines says in court papers that it was forced to ground its fleet for good over the weekend because "recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices." https://t.co/O77K08ey3c

Kamala wanted to give first time homeowners a $25,000 credit towards the purchase of their home.

Trump started a war, has no healthcare plan, caused food and fuel to skyrocket, and raped little girls.

Great fucking job America.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

@atrupar Spirit Airlines specifically blames Donald Trump's Iran war as the cause of their bankruptcy. High fuel costs were the nail in the coffin for the company.

When Democrats get power they immediately help people in big ways.

When Republicans get power they immediately nuke every program that helps Americans and use the money for war and billionaire tax cuts.

@KenRoss53 @ESPNCleveland @MoveTheSticks 100% agree. 🤮

We, Ohioans, voted to give women the right to choose, and you trashed it. We voted to give Ohioans fair districts, but you trashed it. You stole the votes from Ohioans.

AOC 🎯🎯

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.

And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.

So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Oh no — next comes free preschool, free school meals, higher wages, and tuition-free community college.

Truly terrifying stuff.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

5 years ago, Democrats introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering in every state nationwide.

Every single Republican voted against it.
