So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Trump: "The military conflict — I call it that because it's really not much of a war."

Trump 39 minutes later: "I have to get back to fighting a war in Iran."

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Rep. Angie Craig: "Do you know how much money farmers lost last year?"

Brooke Rollins: *doesn't answer*

Craig: "It was $28 billion. You're the Secretary of Agriculture."

266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”

172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”

This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The “bad moment” was confirming that Donald Trump wasn’t releasing the Epstein files because he’s in the Epstein files.

Extraordinary Letter.

Points to Bill Pulte appointment as national security danger.

"The undersigned include twenty-eight former service secretaries and retired general and flag officers who
collectively served under every president from John F. Kennedy to Joseph R. Biden, Jr"

[Senator Molly Cook @MollyforTexas]

Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced that she would be resigning from her role - effective July 17. This is a concerning situation given that the Secretary of State oversees every election in Texas, and we are months away from the midterm elections.

Trump issued a full, unconditional pardon to former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff, Cade Cothren. They were convicted of fraud, bribery, theft, conspiracy, and sentenced to federal prison. https://t.co/xLad3PTCBx

LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .

[Rep. Vikki Goodwin @VikkiGoodwinTX]

Our schools are in a dire situation. Bob and I agree, something must be done! A vote for Dan Patrick is a vote to send billions of Texas tax dollars to private schools. A vote for Vikki Goodwin is a vote to keep those dollars in public schools. Time for change. #Goodwin4Texas

[Kristy Greenberg @KGreenberg_]

The Trump administration wants you to believe Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund is dead. It’s not. The Acting AG didn’t kill it. A judge didn’t kill it. The plan to use your taxpayer money to pay Capitol rioters is still very much alive.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @WhiteHouse: Please send trump to EVERY SWING HOUSE DISTRICT. He can tell folks the affordability crisis is made up and that the higher bills we are paying are fake.

And make sure he gets an energy drink to stay awake. Red Bull HQ is in my district, so happy to ask them.

[Senator Jacky Rosen @SenJackyRosen]

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is taking donor money and depositing it into a private JPMorgan account – and we have no transparency about who is overseeing these funds and how they will be used.

Secretary Rubio refused to answer my question when I asked him if Donald Trump or any family member could access this money. I am deeply concerned by what the Administration plans to do with these funds, which are meant to support the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and help Palestinian civilians.

[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

Watchdog group Public Citizen found that White House ballroom donors won more than $50 billion in government contracts after giving to the project. One of the authors of the report says, "the donations from these companies... are no gift, they're a grift."

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @SecretaryWright: Some deep questions for your deep thoughts:

-Did you know the sun still shines during winter?

-Did you know that solar panels rely on sunlight rather than warmth?

In fact, solar panels can operate even more efficiently during the winter.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Cramer: "There's are people who are not doing well in this country, and I am surprised you are not addressing those people…who have seen SNAP benefits decline, who have higher gas prices because of the war in Iran."

Hassett: "We care about everybody."

Cramer: "Oh?"

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The President is not well. He can’t stay awake at important White House events and cabinet meetings.

@WhiteHouse needs to come clean about why trump takes so many trips to the hospital and why doctors keep giving trump cognitive tests.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Things your legal department has to do when you are a propaganda outlet peddling lies for a corrupt regime nonstop… Fox is poison…
