An insane accusation from an insane man

[Democracy Must Prevail ❌👑 @eadyer]

$14M of our money. Many Americans scant afford food, healthcare, or their utilities. GD disgrace.

Yes there is a small section of the reflecting pool sealant that has ripped up.

The United States has been defeated by Iran, and Sunday evening found Trump out on the lawn waiting for the rain to clear so he could begin his party.

Reflecting Pool, looking good, sir!

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

[New York Post Sports @nypostsports]

Crowd at Bryant Park watch party also booed President Trump.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ

I’ve watched this eleventy million times and it’s my favorite thing on the Internet.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

"The president’s sons are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon. Powerus, a drone roll-up company in West Palm Beach, is merging with a publicly traded GOLF-COURSE HOLDING COMPANY backed by the Trumps."

average us gas prices

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If the Democrats don't make rebalancing and expanding the Supreme Court a top priority for whenever (if?) they next get into power, then I don't know what to say anymore. The GOP-packed court is the biggest block on progress in this country and has been for a while.

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

New research from North Carolina finds body-worn cameras reduced black incarceration rates by 10.5%. When prosecutors see what actually happened instead of relying solely on police reports, racial disparities in convictions and sentencing shrink, explains Cato’s @jeffreyamiron.

We live in a world where Trump can post this, but James Comey apparently gets indicted for laying out some seashells saying 8647 and then apologizing and deleting the image.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I’m sorry, I was reliably told this was going to be privately funded.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

But he can’t go anywhere so he needs a ballroom bunker fortress.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

New in PN: A more secure ballroom will not stop the madness

"Trump is to individual acts of political violence what climate change is to hurricanes: We may not be able to blame global warming for a particular one, but we know it creates the conditions for hurricanes to be more common and intense." https://t.co/ZQ3BdFkLz1

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.
