I don't know what Max Miller is guilty of. But he's now been accused of throwing boiling water on his wife, holding a gun to her head, breaking their 2-year-old's collarbone, and putting hands on her attorney. Not sure why this shouldn't get as much attention as Graham Platner.

[Rodger Williams @kiddwikked]

@Acyn The real story should be that Trump lied out his ass and got an innocent man arrested. This is all because of Trump's ego..

@TheJFreakinC How’s Homan going to justify this? He’s going to say that she was obstructing them. I hate him

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @RealTomHoman: Below is more evidence that ICE is an out of control, rogue agency. A civilian was exercising her First Amendment rights when an ICE officer casually assaulted her with pepper spray.

You should be ashamed of what ICE has become: thugs.

November is coming.

@ChristopherHale I just love their obvious delight. If you had told me that in 40 years Patty and the Pope would be hanging out together, I’d ask for some of the drugs you’re on.

[Kristy Greenberg @KGreenberg_]

Yesterday your daughter got a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller to stop him from harassing her lawyer—after accusing him of abusing her and your 2-year-old granddaughter. But rather than condemn him, you’re on a press tour harassing an 85-year-old scientist. Shameless.

@RpsAgainstTrump Good thing the president is letting the Iranian military plans. Forget about the element of surprise

@Rep_Clyde Hey aren’t you the guy who spent the money you collected for a children’s monument. So where’s the monument?

Fact check on some of President Trump's comments at his Cabinet meeting:

- On the cyberattacks against local water systems, there’s absolutely zero basis for Trump’s bizarre assertion that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was “behind it.” Trump made no mention of the governors of the six other states the FBI says have been targeted this week. CNN reports that US and state officials consider Iran a suspect in the attacks.

- Trump said Iran still has “some” missiles and “some” drones but then said a bit later, again, that “everything is all gone,” which he had implicitly fact-checked himself with his acknowledgment that not everything is all gone...

- Trump said he’s “ended eight wars.” He simply hasn’t; his list is wildly inflated; see my previous tweet.

- Trump said, “We're building more factories and plants in this country than we've ever built before.” The White House could not identify any source for this claim when I inquired this week. Federal figures show that spending on manufacturing construction has declined month after month this Trump term after a spike that occurred during most of the Biden presidency.

- Trump said, "When we took office, we inherited a total catastrophe. The last administration created the worst inflation in 48 years.” The inflation rate did hit a 40-year (not 48-year) high under Biden, 9.1%…but that was in June 2022, two-and-a-half years before Trump returned to office, when he inherited a rate of 3.0%, which was lower than the 3.5% rate of this June.

- Trump said, "This month, it was announced that inflation is dropping at the fastest rate in more than six years.” *Did* drop last month, true, but not “is dropping” now; the steep decline of June was largely because gas prices fell sharply amid the ceasefire with Iran. In July, gas prices have jumped back up.

- Trump said, as usual, that Biden let in “25 million” migrants, a massive exaggeration even wilder than the previous “21 million” figure he has further inflated without explanation; he also said, as usual, that Biden let in 11,888 murderers, a gross distortion of federal data on people who entered over the course of decades including Trump’s own first administration.

The craziest thing about the Fauci hearings is that Donald Trump is accused of raping children.

@atrupar “…and stuff like that” where does he get his info, since none of what he says true.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

A Missouri couple who had illegally immigrated to the United States were killed after the husband was deported and the wife self-deported back to Guatemala.

The deaths are shining another spotlight on the Trump administration’s deportation policy, and now two communities in two countries are reeling and searching for answers.
