The President of the United States had to pay nearly $6 million to a woman he raped and it barely made the news for a day.

The people who promised to 'Make America Healthy Again' have given America:

The worst measles outbreak since 1991
The worst screwworm outbreak in 60 years
The worst cyclosporiasis outbreak in years

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

[Sam Youngman @samyoungman]

How do you think it would have been covered if President Obama had to pay $5 million to a woman he sexually abused and defamed?

Do you think the White House press would have asked him about it?

An amazing yet totally accurate quote. There is no deep state, no grand conspiracy, no one steering the train, no smoke-filled back rooms filled with people secretly running the world.

DC consists mostly of people faking it 'til they make it and then trying to beat the traffic.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

The idea that this "celebrates the strength of American values" is laughable. George Washington vehemently (and successfully) opposed a plan to put his face on a coin because he didn't want to be treated like a king. This embarrassing worship is *antithetical* to American values.

[Jeff Timmer @jefftimmer]

Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.

Biggest theft of our lives. That was our money and they handed the refund to corporations instead of back to you

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. @Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

DNI nominee Jay Clayton: I'm not going to do this with you

Ossoff: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee.

Clayton: I'm not gonna get into that with you

Ossoff: You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the president's delusions?

The complete and utter lack of interest among the BIDEN IS TOO OLD TO BE PRESIDENT School of Journalism to get to the bottom of this (not to mention the constant napping in public, swollen ankles, two trips to Walter Reed in 46 days, etc) annoys me to no end.

Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

A reminder on the evolution of 2020 "stolen election" theories: First we had mail-in fraud + Dominion + "illegal law changes" (Nov–Dec 2020) then → Georgia election workers + foreign interference/Italygate (Dec 2020–Jan 2021, concurrent) then → 2,000 Mules (ballot stuffers) (2022) then → social-media-censorship revival via Twitter Files (Dec 2022) then → renewed foreign-interference claims (2024–present).

Through all this, we've had:

1. Dominion getting $787 million from Fox News for defamation

2. Rudy Giuliani admitting he lied about Georgia election workers (and the jury awarding the workers $148 million)

3. Sidney Powell admitting in court "no reasonable person would conclude" her claims of election fraud “were truly statements of fact"

4. The Gateway Pundit retracting claims of election fraud in Atlanta

5. The Media company that put out D'Souza's 2,000 Mules film apologizing and removing it after law enforcement proved it falsely accused people of fraud

6. Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) settling with Smartmatic

It is NOT true that none of these allegations have seen a court room. Most have. Of the 64 cases of fraud that Trump and his legal team filed in court, 30 were dismissed that included a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his allies before a hearing, and just 20 were dismissed for lack of standing before a hearing on the merits. One case, involving far too few votes to impact the election, prevailed in Pennsylvania. That case was about voter ID deadlines, not election fraud.

Those are the facts.

Whatever happens Thursday night, please try to remember them.

We are in dark and dangerous times. Selective declassification to support debunked claims, in order to justify meddling in the midterms.

[Sir Humphrey 🇺🇦 @bdquinn]

I've known he would go down this road of trying to use the federal government to "prove" 2020 was stolen for a long time. It was so obvious he would do this. It's an obsession.

It's also going to be a big vote loser.

[Chris Mowrey @chrisdmowrey]

things are about to get very, very, very bad.

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

The rigging of the midterms is happening in real time.
