[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

It’s D-Day. Trump’s first post on Truth Social is a bizarre AI video about how much people love Donald Trump. Not a word about the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy.

That tells you everything you need to know about Trump.

Dallas Stars announce intention to build new arena north of downtown https://t.co/baUA3aRR3X via @NYTimes. Illinois legislators hoping for an in-City Bears stadium; take note.

@SNYGiants I also respect the Presidency, and those who respect and live up to the importance of the office.

Sen. Tim Scott said on TV today that “gas prices continue to come down.” They’ve actually gone up over the last day, week, month, year, and since the Iran war started in February.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said on TV today that gas prices are way down from “two years ago,” when they were “$6.” They’re actually up substantially from two years ago, when the national average was $3.66.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested at a hearing yesterday that California’s average gas price the day the war started was “$8.” It was actually $4.64.

Wow.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out

[Chris Bowers @cbow70]

Yep. He said it. But he didn’t mean it.
He means very little of what he says. He just makes shit up.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

Then you never were one.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

This man exhibits the supreme confidence of someone who has no idea that he has no idea what he's talking about

[Chris Bowers @cbow70]

If you look at all the senior advisors to POTUS and at Trump himself, a common denominator is that all are reality show wannabes. They are actors pretending to fill the roles to which the Faux President has appointed them. No relevant qualifications , experience or aptitude.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

No greater metaphor for this entire week than Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from the movie Pulp Fiction to Pentagon staff.

🚨 Flashback to 2008:

Donald Trump said it loud and clear:
"Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached."

Words matter. Consistency matters.
Let’s push this everywhere 👇

The President, who has openly lobbied for a Nobel Peace Prize, escalates his self-declared war. Many who voted for him weren’t expecting this —

Rubio: Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military

Trump, two days later: We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military

[Chris Bowers @cbow70]

Your President, a self-proclaimed ‘doer’, puts waging war ahead of daycare, Medicare & Medicaid for Americans.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
