If Joe Biden did this: impeachment. Trump? Another Thursday.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

The fact that Blanche refused to terminate the slush fund in writing for Trump’s criminal cronies as well as his IRS immunity deal proves that his testimony at his confirmation hearing that these things were “dead” was always a lie. They were dead only until he got confirmed.

"I am calling katie frequently to check on her couple time per day. She is very anxious about getting very ill since she is 10 weeks pregnant," Fauci wrote in 2020 about Katie Miller https://t.co/Ea48EK5W4n

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Literally this. They’re acting like people didn’t die. Like we all didn’t live through it and see it with our own eyes, and Trump wasn’t President at the time.

It’s wild to watch.

[DC Native 🇺🇸🦅 @dcnative2020]

@RadioFreeTom The GOP and Trump have normalized this language. I’m no prude but I find this offensive in a hearing. Just abysmal leadership.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

You have much more power than the people in charge of Washington want you to believe.

100 days from today comes the best chance we’ve had in a long time to use it. Let’s get to work.

@azsweetheart013 So sweet! I lost my soul dog last week and he used to this. 💔

[Dittie @DittiePE]

Heritage Foundation’s government-relations director for defense and foreign policy — Matthew Christopher Wingate, who was previously the national security adviser to Ted Cruz and Joni Ernst — was arrested at the Russell Senate Office Building on July 14 after security found a loaded 9mm pistol magazine in his briefcase, plus pressed pills that tested presumptive positive for cocaine and fentanyl.

His explanation: He forgot the mag, and the drugs were “prescribed.”

The think tank that built its brand on law-and-order and family values had its top defense lobbyist walking into the Senate with fentanyl-laced pills and ammo.

That absolutely tracks.

I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.

Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.

Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.

People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.

Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.

He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.

That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.

There is a name for it.

So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.

The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.

And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.

Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.

And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.

Just another joke at our expense.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

This dinner is a disgrace. Trump’s rambling, unhinged speech is full of hate and spite. Just spewing nastiness at his usual targets. Let’s not sanitize how truly ugly it was. This would be a great moment for members of the press to get up and walk out.

[Acyn @Acyn]

FOX: At this point in the war, I know you've been very critical of how long we've been in it and you feel President Trump has broken his promise to the American people.

Buttigieg: Not I feel. He made a specific promise and did something else.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

This is reaching Soviet "name everything after Lenin" levels of ridiculous

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

"That's almost word for word what they told us when we were sold the war in Iraq. Remember 2003?" -- another Pete Buttigieg masterclass on Fox News. There is no Democrat better at communicating to that audience.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Pete Buttigieg: “The outrageous news that we just got with the Trump administration removed the names of four of our service members who were killed in action, apparently because the fact that they were killed in action goes against his fiction that sometimes he says we are actually not in a war, even though everybody knows we are. What I would say to him is when I was in uniform, when I was deployed, I knew that on some level my life depended on the credibility of the people running our government…American lives depend on him telling the truth even when it's hard.”

Number of depositions and interviews the House Oversight Committee has conducted in the Epstein case: 19

Number of criminal referrals: 0 🤔

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

My Republican colleagues love to accuse Democrats of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

But the real Trump derangement is from Republicans, who swallow all of their pride to satiate the insecure, narcissist in the White House who needs to have everything named after him.

Sad, really.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Rare moment of truth from the President
