@maischberger@SZekri@DasErste Quatsch. Egal ob hier geboren oder nicht. Es gibt einfach schlechte Menschen, die voller Hass sind und gute Menschen, die voller Liebe sind. Das ist der einzige Unterschied zwischen Menschen.
President Biden: Americans never bow. We never bend. We never break when confronted with crisis. We endure, we overcome, and we always, always, always move forward. We are America, second to none, and we own the finish line.
Toddler Trump had a major meltdown and became “enraged” after seeing aerial photographs of the sparse crowd at the opening of his Great American State Fair on June 24, prompting the White House to scrap all the images from all their social media accounts! 🤣😂🤣
Please don't forget the Trump family is barred from ever running another charity in NY because they stole from a Children's Cancer Charity. A Children's Cancer Charity. A FUCKING CHILDREN'S CANCER CHARITY!
"The vet looked at me and said, 'It might be time to think about saying goodbye.'" Max stopped eating four days ago. Stopped getting up. I'd already started preparing myself. Then Buddy did something I will never forget. He climbed up on that exam table — something he's NEVER allowed to do — and he wouldn't stop pressing his face against Max's. The vet tech tried to gently move him away. Buddy wouldn't budge. And then, for the first time in four days — Max lifted his head. The vet just stood there. Didn't say a word. We're not out of the woods. The vet wants to run more tests tomorrow. But tonight, Max ate three bites of food. Tonight, Max is still here. I don't know what tomorrow holds. But I know I watched a Labrador refuse to let his best friend give up. If you believe dogs fight for each other the way they fight for us — drop a ❤️ for Max and Buddy tonight. He needs all the strength he can get.

BREAKING: WE LOVE IT! Pope Leo beautifully trolls MAGA racists by celebrating America's 250th birthday with a heartfelt celebration of immigrants.
Just when you thought you couldn't possibly like him even more...
"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence," stated the first American Pope. "This semiquincentennial marks that defining moment in the history of the United States of America, July 4, 1776, that gave enduring voice to the ideals of liberty, equality, the pursuit of happiness, justice and democratic self-government."
Tragically, those ideals are under constant assault from Donald Trump, a President who has marked this Pope as one of his primary antagonists on the world stage. Leo has dared to criticize Trump's brutal treatment of migrants as well as his illegal war against Iran. Trump has attacked him, but clearly Leo remains unbowed.
"For two and a half centuries, generations of Americans have worked together to carry these principles forward — through sacrifice, service, innovation and civic participation," the Pope continued. "This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today."
He went on to celebrate America's tradition of religious freedom, another principle that's under attack from a MAGA movement that wants to install a fascist Evangelical theocracy. But it was the section on immigrants that really has Republicans incensed—
"Defending human life also includes welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants, whose hopes, sacrifices and contribution have formed part of the history of this country from its very beginning," said Leo. "In every generation, those who have arrived seeking freedom, opportunity and a place to belong have helped to shape the nation’s character. To receive them with compassion and generosity is not only an act of charity, but also a recognition of the dignity that belongs to every human person."
Contrast this patriotic message of inclusion with the hateful vitriol that constantly spews forth from the White House. Conservatives have been raging all week over the Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, Trump will deliver a Fourth of July speech that will be partisan, self-aggrandizing, bigoted, and completely divorced from the eternal ideals that guided this nation's Founders.
As far as American leadership goes, Pope Leo puts Donald Trump to shame every single time.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Leo!
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.
Powerful: instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Trump's America, Pope Leo XIV chose to stand at Lampedusa's Gate of Europe, the monument dedicated to those who rescue and welcome migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
#BREAKING: Rep Garcia: “I think broadly speaking, as an American, I think all of us should be horrified by what’s happening, that ANY American president, even a corrupt one like Donald Trump is going to be flying around on a jet given to us by a foreign nation, and he’s going to be flying this jet on #July4th over the mall, celebrating a foreign nation’s jet, that then he plans on keeping? That is NOT patriotism. That is not feeling proud of our country, and every American should be sickened by this action by Donald Trump.”🤦♀️
The fact that Todd Blanche has refused to comply with the court order to release the Epstein files following Katie Phang's lawsuit, should be a more significant story.
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and now we found out he was, should be a more significant story.
The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup should be the most significant story of all.
And when you combine ALL these stories and add to it his hiring of Alex Acosta, the birthday card, the movement of Maxwell to a more lenient facility, and then - especially - his panicked behavior on all things Epstein, it really should be the end of his presidency.
BREAKING: TORCH HIM! Jen Psaki unleashes a blistering takedown of Trump's failed "two-bit" fair with its "janky Ferris wheel" and "Temu" Victory Arch — and exposes the jaw-dropping corruption involved.
He'll be calling for her show to be canceled any second now...
"Donald Trump's celebration of America's 250th birthday is, in many ways, a reflection of the Trump administration itself, a bizarre two-bit, right-wing circus that is deeply unpopular with the American people," Psaki said on MS NOW. "And just like the Trump administration itself, this event is also rife with corruption."
She's right that the Great American State Fair is deeply unpopular, which is why social media is rife with photos of its incredibly poor attendance. Nobody wants to go to this thing except for the most diehard MAGA lunatics. And it seems that Mother Nature herself has also turned against the fair, because it had to be temporarily closed due to the historic D.C. heat wave.
"Now, in order to put on this celebration, Trump is using $68 million of taxpayer money, at least some of that money is being paid to a company called Event Strategies Incorporated," Psaki continued. "It's run by a group of Trump allies, and it's the same company responsible for organizing Trump's Ellipse rally on January 6th. We've talked about them before."
"We don't know how responsible they are for the $68 million of your tax dollars going towards this event, but so far, that money has paid for a janky Ferris wheel plagued by power outages, a couple of tents with chairs in them, a Temu version of Trump's planned arch — which appears to be falling apart and seems like it's being held together with a slapdash sealant job — and, of course, some bizarre entertainment, half of which seems to just be Trump officials sitting on stage basically filling the time," she continued.
The mockup of the Victory Arch has been particularly embarrassing. In addition to being cheap-looking and poorly constructed, it has begun to ooze a disgusting yellow substance that is either caulk or expanding foam. The fact that Trump is fantasizing about a Victory Arch at all is astounding. He lost his Iran War and has not a single real victory to his name.
"So how much of that $68 million actually went to the state fair, and how much to Event Strategies Incorporated did they get to keep for themselves?" Psaki asked. We don't actually know right now. The New York Times reached out to Event Strategies Incorporated, who declined to tell them how much money they are being paid."
"They later said the firm was making a profit of 3.5% on that payment, which we could see what that meant, and the Trump-backed organization running the event declined to say how much the events thus far have actually cost to put on in total," she went on.
"But it actually gets worse, because that $68 million in taxpayer money is not the only money going to this event. Trump's organization also solicited donations to help pay for this half-assed celebration," said Psaki. "And a new report released today by Congressman Jared Huffman alleges that some of those donors were misled about where their money was actually going."
It looks like we have yet another massive cesspit of graft, theft, and criminality to investigate when Democrats retake power. We demand a full forensic investigation of this fair and an explanation for where every single tax dollar went.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation!
BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Jared Huffman just EXPOSED how Trump hijacked our nation’s 250th anniversary celebration and turned it into a political project to enrich himself.
Retweet so every American sees this blatant corruption.
Una norma de 100 años prohibía enviar pistolas por correo postal. Trump la eliminará para beneficiar a la empresa GrabAGun, que vende armas en línea, y donde su hijo adquirió más de 300.000 acciones. Esto tiene un nombre: corrupción. La derecha lo corrompe absolutamente todo.
Powerful moment in Lampedusa today as the Pope Leo climbs to the highest rock overlooking the Mediterranean where thousands of migrants drowned while seeking a better life.
