Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight:

Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

[E.M. Wheelwright @emw76]

@PMastersMusic @HunterBiden Take some time to reflect on how badly you are getting demolished.

[TheFrenchie @ML3democrats]

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

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@BasedMikeLee @JaniceWill47400 It’s bread and circuses,

and decadence for the ruling class paid for by the working class and foreign lobbies.

If history teaches us anything, we know what comes next.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

The very lowbrow TV shows they watch in Robocop feel prescient, but this kind of satire easily ends up predicting the future when:

1. Shareholder capitalism necessitates market expansion
2. Companies lower taste standards to bring in customers with less sophistication

@WUTangKids @AntiToxicPeople How are none of those people standing up when the president of the United States walks in the room? These people obviously do not respect the office.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Martin Luther King III @OfficialMLK3]

58 years ago today I was only 10 years old when my father was taken from us. I remember hoping it wasn’t real, that I would wake up and he’d still be there. Even then, I understood his life was about something bigger than all of us. I carry that responsibility with me every day, guided by his unwavering belief that love is the most powerful force we have.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I miss you, Daddy.

Remembering you today on the 58th anniversary of your assassination.

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

To honor President Jefferson, Congress erected the Jefferson Memorial. To honor President Lincoln, Congress erected the Lincoln Memorial. To honor President Kennedy, Congress erected the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

No president, no board of directors, can change the names or send in a wrecking crew under the guise of “repairs.”

Stand down, President Trump. You are no king, and you don’t have the power. Only Congress can change that.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

[Robert E Kelly @Robert_E_Kelly]

The alliance which beat communist tyranny is collapsing because of one man’s petulance. Unreal

Future historians will be flabbergasted that Americans gave away two generations of alliance goodwill and friendship for MAGA’s weird cult leader. What an absurd trade…

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

Congress designated the Kennedy Center as a living memorial to JFK — by statute

Neither Trump nor the Board has the power to rewrite that

Only Congress does

We're asking the court to enforce the law & reverse an action that was unlawful from the start

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Donald Trump called mail-in voting “mail-in cheating” on Monday. That same day, news broke that he just voted by mail in a Florida special election.

His polling place is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago.

He spent the last two weekends there.

He mailed it anyway.

He is now holding the entire country hostage to pass a bill making it harder for you to vote the way he just voted.

Shameless hypocrisy.

[Alan Eyre @AlanEyre1]

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum
Money quote:

"Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places."

"He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before."

trump this morning: "If the Prime Minister of Norway had given me a Nobel Peace Prize, our submarine wouldn't have needed to sink an Iranian ship." On what planet is this even close to a sane statement?
