Erm, if criticizing David Ellison is now antisemitic and criticizing Hakeem Jeffries is now anti-Black, then - just to be clear - anyone criticizing me for anything is an Islamophobe.

I mean, apparently, them's the rules now. I didn't make them.

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

A Yale study just concluded that Medicare for All will save an estimated 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by $1 trillion.

Medicare for All saves lives, saves money, and covers everyone with every doctor being in network.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

On Fox News @RepLisaMcClain says "82% of women who got the [COVID] vaccine in their first or second trimester had a miscarriage".

Perhaps the Congresswoman would like to explain how then birth rates went up post vaccine.

Oh, that's right, YOU'RE LYING!

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

We live in very strange times.

The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.

Grift and racist all in one!!

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

That this outrageous statement celebrating imperialism was not page one news today underscores how numb we have become to Trump.

This is not normal!

In my view, this is un-American! We are not imperialists. Who believes, "to the victor belong the spoils"? I dont.

This money belongs to the people of Venezuela, not us.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Someone who wrote that "Muslim immigrants and their children seem prone to terrorism" for a white nationalist publication shouldn't be an Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ’s Antitrust Division.

The Trump administration nominated him anyway.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's okay and the day we confirm an AG who says that's okay is the day that the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

No. This is a bald faced lie.

You cut the agency that protects cybersecurity by $700 million and still haven’t nominated a permanent director for it.

You are grossly incompetent. You are responsible.

[Gene Trevino @GenoVeno73]

REMINDER — since that moron @RandPaul wants to revisit the covid pandemic era.

*️⃣ Trump inherited a fully staffed pandemic response team from the Obama administration called the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense ... TRUMP DISBANDED IT.

*️⃣ Trump inherited a complete scientific team to combat diseases and viruses from the Obama administration called PREDICT ... TRUMP DISBANDED IT.

*️⃣ Trump was given a 69 page, step-by-step manual in how to handle a pandemic by Obama ... TRUMP IGNORED IT.

*️⃣ In 2018, Trump ELIMINATED the position of senior director for global health security and biodefense.

*️⃣ Trump inherited a fully functioning CDC from the Obama administration ... TRUMP WANTED TO CUT THEIR FUNDING BY UP TO 20%. (Congress intervened)

*️⃣ Trump inherited a coordinating response with the World Health Organization from the Obama administration ... TRUMP BEGAN TO WITHDRAWAL THE UNITED STATES. (President Biden reversed this withdrawal notice)

Trump had inherited a fully functioning pandemic response team that could have battled the coronavirus in 2020; but instead, he destroyed our much needed disease and/or virus and pandemic response teams.

But @RandPaul wants to cast blame on Dr. Anthony Fauci.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Healthcare worker here. I worked the COVID pandemic front lines. I can testify with 100% proven reliability that the only patients who died were primarily the UNVACCINATED.

Dr. Fauci is a deadly pathogen professional whose efforts and efficacy saved countless lives. The man’s a hero.

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Billy Donovan reveals the real reason Florida’s NBA-bound stars returned to school in 2007 and repeated as national champions:

“The only reason they came back was because of Taurean Green. Taurean couldn’t go. He wasn’t going to get drafted. Joakim Noah and Al Horford said, ‘No man left behind.’”

“They felt like if they all left, Taurean would be left there unable to realize his dream.”

Mike Miller: “Sacrifice is an easy word to say if you know what the outcome is going to be. If somebody says, ‘Sacrifice and you’ll win two championships,’ I’ll sacrifice all day. But what happens when we sacrifice and lose? Then you start thinking, ‘I sacrificed for what?’ It takes a special person to believe in the sacrifice when you don’t know what the outcome will be.”

“Sacrifice isn’t picking and choosing what you want to give up. It’s sacrificing what’s important to you.”

“You never know when it’s going to be your turn. You never know when it’s going to be your night to pass the ball or accept a role you don’t want. That role may not be who you’ll become four years from now.”

Breaking News: Federal officials acknowledged in court documents that they canceled grants to states that didn’t vote for President Trump in 2024. https://t.co/FeH69OK3fq

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted.

Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship.

Where the hell is Congress?

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Buttigieg: This denial about the war is especially shocking when you look at the disrespect that has been shown to those who are paying the heaviest price for it.

The fact that the Trump administration deleted references to four American service members killed in action because that simple and tragic reality complicates their narrative that we're somehow not at war, when everybody knows that we are, shows you just how far from reality they are. And I think voters are fed up with it.

[M.S @MuradSh14951013]

This is how they celebrate 🍾 championships in Spain. It's crazy what's happening at Plaza Cibeles in Madrid, Spain, where people are celebrating with a drone show that's simply spectacular…

Pep Guardiola on why Lionel Messi broke down in tears after the final whistle against Spain in the FIFA World Cup final.

🗣️ “The whole world thought Leo was crying because Argentina had lost the World Cup. They were wrong. I know him better than most people. Those tears came from somewhere much deeper. They were the tears of a little boy who realized the dream he had lived for more than twenty years might have ended forever.”

“The moment I saw him standing there, I couldn’t watch anymore. I picked up my phone and called him. He answered, but he couldn’t speak. All I could hear was his breathing. We stayed in silence for what felt like forever because sometimes pain is too big for words.”

“When he finally spoke, he said, ‘Míster… it’s not the defeat that’s breaking me. I can accept losing. What I can’t accept is that this may have been the last time I ever wore the Argentina shirt. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.’ I completely broke down when I heard those words.”

“I told him, ‘Leo, listen to me. Millions of people aren’t crying because Argentina lost. They’re crying because they know they may never see you wear that shirt again. They grew up with you. They celebrated with you. They suffered with you. Tonight, they’re mourning the end of an era.’”

“He spent more than two decades carrying that badge with unbelievable pride. He gave Argentina his childhood, his youth, his best football and even the final years of his career. There was nothing left for him to give. He left every piece of his heart on that pitch.”

“I said to him, ‘Don’t ever apologize. Don’t ever think you failed your country. The only reason this hurts so much is because you loved Argentina more than anyone could ever ask. That’s not failure that’s the purest form of love.’”

“I’ve coached the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen, but that night I wasn’t speaking to a footballer. I was speaking to a man whose heart had been shattered because he believed his final chapter with Argentina had been written. That pain is something no trophy, no speech and no applause can ever heal.”

“One day, people will remember who won that World Cup. But those of us who love football will also remember another image forever Lionel Messi standing in tears, not because he stopped loving football, but because football was asking him to say goodbye to the country he loved more than anything in the world.

Spain the second they stopped calling up Real Madrid players...
