The mental image of Trump hiding from Iran in a catering cart is devastating. A weak, stupid old man hiding from the consequences of his own decision while endangering others.
Dear @TheJusticeDept: Any federal prosecutor who tries to prosecute David Hearn again will be sanctioned and disbarred.
They will also be served with congressional subpoenas next term.
Take your authoritarian shit and shove it.
November is coming.
WaPo reports Trump secretly funneled almost $1B into the White House “housekeeping” account for renovations.
Without asking Congress.
Feels like the right day to repost this video & remind him: we’re undoing ALL of it when you’re gone.
So I discovered something interesting today.
I keep hearing Francesca Hong is running some innovative campaign where she isn’t spending money on TV and it’s working like a charm. This confused me because I have family in Wisconsin and I know for a fact there are tons of Francesca Hong ads on TV - there actually seem to be more ads for her than any of her opponents. So I thought "gee, if Hong isn’t spending money on TV and the Democratic Establishment hates her, who is paying for all this ad time?”
A lot of Hong’s direct TV advertising came from a super pac called Middle Class Priorities. Middle Class Priorities only has one donor, Progressive Prosperity Caucus, Inc. And what is Progressive Prosperity Caucus, Inc? A fake GOP slush fund run by Republican operatives that’s spent millions of dollars getting leftists nominated in swing districts. Most leftists who have won swing district primaries are being funded by the GOP btw, that’s why so many of them claim they won despite being outspent. William Lawrence had massive Super PAC support from an organization called Michigan Sunrise that came out of nowhere and conveniently timed its inception so it did not have to disclose its donors until after the election
On top of that, another Republican Super PAC spent 2.2 million dollars “attacking” Francesca Hong starting in early July. That’s weird - why would you waste money attacking a candidate who was barely leading in the polls at the time in a crowded primary? Because their “attack ads” only ran in extremely Democratic areas like Dane County and they were all about how you shouldn’t vote for Francesca Hong because she opposes Trump’s immigration agenda.
They were fake attack ads meant to improve her standing with Democratic Primary voters. Francesca Hong’s spike in support happened in mid-July, at the exact same time a GOP Super PAC launched an ad campaign meant to make Democratic Primary voters think the Republicans are scared Francesca Hong will stop their immigration priorities
The Republicans have spent more money on TV advertising for Francesca Hong than every Democratic candidate has spent combined. Literally her entire TV footprint is Republican Super PACs. She currently has zero dollars of her own television ad buys lined up, has spent zero dollars on TV ads the entire campaign, has no support from outside money that isn’t a Republican psyop, has one-tenth of Tom Tiffany’s cash on hand, and can’t receive support from the DNC because the party is broke
People are underestimating what a blood bath this is going to be. She’s already behind in the polls and the second the primary is over every penny of Francesca Hong’s TV advertising disappears and the GOP will spend tens of millions of dollars on ads about how she’s a radical police abolitionist who hates Valentine’s Day, is grotesquely obsessed with her son’s ethnic heritage, and pals around with a guy who said America deserves 9/11. There will be no response to these ads because Hong doesn’t have any money for ad buys and all of her Super PAC support came from Peter Thiel
Todd Blanche has made it crystal clear: he’s Trump’s personal lawyer, not the American people’s. Bragging about “canning” the prosecutors and agents who held January 6th attackers accountable. Hollowing out the DOJ of experienced talent while crypto crime, Medicare fraud, cartels, and sex trafficking go under-enforced. Turning an independent agency into a sword for Trump and a shield for his allies. This is a danger to public safety and the rule of law.
I knowingly handed the microphone at my event to a Republican activist because I believe we have to listen to each other. I shared in my answer to his question the pain of our miscarriage. My opponent’s campaign then edited our personal pain down to a sentence to exploit and misrepresent. That's not leadership, that's politics.
@SenThomTillis@Tom_Winter Senator, I hope you use your power and platform to this corrupt administration to account. They are destroying our country and rule of law. You and many other Rs KNOW what Trump, Blanche et al are doing is destructive. Do something about it.
The striking 19-page legal document undermined everything that President Trump has been saying about the damage to the Reflecting Pool for the past six weeks, including the claim that vandals had used a box cutter to slash the floor of the pool https://t.co/uiXercOo8J
The Dem race for governor in WI feels like a slow-rolling car headed for a cliff.
If Dems there don't figure it out, they'll endanger a potential House pickup opportunity and risk installing as governor an election-denying, Freedom Caucus member just in time for the '28 election.
This is really incredible. Docs released by Trump tonight confirm RUSSIA tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity vis-a-vis Burisma and that it advanced those narratives "with US officials" and planed a "high-profile corruption scandal... at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign."
This is a 25th Amendment moment.
I just watched the ramblings of a mad king and what else can I say — the only thing missing was tin foil.
Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections and we have to stop him.
Show up and VOTE this November.
Trump will lie about the 2020 election.
Trump will lie about the 2026 election.
But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win.
If you doubt me, take a look at my record against him and the GOP in court.
Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.
I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.
Our answer will be overwhelming.
Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.
The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.
