Ludicrous.

The South Lawn of the White House is for the people, not for making profit.

[Congressman Christian D. Menefee @RepCDMenefee]

They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled.

There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.

1 year ago, DOGE slashed $250M in funding including New World Screwworm prevention programs.

Now, the Trump admin is spending $1B to combat the outbreak.

Don't let your dog drink out of the reflecting pool!

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Leaked memos reveal that the White House seriously debated suspending Habeas Corpus much more than originally reported.

The suggestion to end the Constitutional right was led by Stephen Miller.

Talarico: The fact that politicians, including Ted Cruz, are throwing embarrassing, cheap nicknames at their political opponents instead of focusing on improving Texans’ lives—that is that's everything that's wrong with our politics.

It looks a lot more like professional wrestling, right? You've got these old guys lathered up in their fake tan, throwing cheesy nicknames at each other. And those nicknames, they don't lower the cost of groceries.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

During Trump's most recent event, he:

—Said he "loves inflation"
—Claimed he drew a larger crowd than MLK Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech
—Asked why Democrats are talking about "Epstein, Epstein, Epstein"
—Told reporters he plans to resume bombing Iran
—Alleged that he has proof that the 2020 election was "rigged"
—Compared Graham Platner to the terrorist who planned 9/11, saying he's "actually worse"

Senator Jim Justice is a GOP Senator, a coal baron, and a friend of President Trump.

Earlier this year, his coal company found out it was under criminal investigation for environmental crimes.

But then Todd Blanche's office got involved & told investigators: pencils down.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

IT HAS NOW BEEN 100 days since Trump launched a war on Iran with no plan and sent gas prices spiking nationwide.

FACT: Americans have been saddled with an extra $55.6 BILLION (and growing) in fuel costs.

That’s over 3 months of pain at the pump, increased grocery prices, and more — all eating into wages as inflation grows!

And yesterday Trump said he was “in control” of the war. Clearly that’s not true.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

We’re all supposed to pretend this isn’t happening a lot?

How does this make us look to the rest of the world?

Screwworms are maggot-looking parasites and they affect humans by latching HARD onto your flesh with their sharp mouths and literally burrowing deep into your skin and body, eating your flesh as they go. You can literally feel them burrowing under your skin.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Boyle: "Kevin Hassett said, 'People are spending more on gas, but they're also spending more on everything else…I think that's a sign you see when people are optimistic about the future.' I was wondering if you agree with your White House colleague?"

Bessent: "I think high discretionary spending is likely what Director Hassett meant."

Boyle: "Do you consider spending on groceries discretionary? Or gas discretionary?"

Bessent: "I didn't say gas. Did he say gas?"

Boyle: "Yes."

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Rubio: "I’ve never seen [Trump] fall asleep."

Rep. Lieu: "I’m going to show you…a video that shows you just lied to Congress."

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

The Trump administration is DISMANTLING the network of buoys that help California monitor for major tsunamis and earthquakes.

Cool.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

President Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. That means it has now been one week since he has appeared publicly for anything besides a pre-taped interview. His last public event was his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, one day after his trip to Walter Reed.

[Rep. Brendan Boyle @CongBoyle]

This is the most hopelessly out of touch administration in American history.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Psaki: “…I have to start tonight with a story that in any other administration, would be grounds for opening an impeachment inquiry, because today ProPublica reported that the White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to President Trump’s adult son @DonaldJTrumpJr…the deal in question involved a startup focused on rare earth magnet production called Vulcan Elements and last Summer, Don Jr’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in that company, and wouldn’t you know…three months later, the Pentagon announced that it was giving Vulcan Elements a $620 million loan.”🙄🤦‍♀️
