Democracy requires truth, facts and civil discourse.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Trump doesn’t care about inflation because he has had no issues outpacing it with his personal wealth gains.

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

Trump on inflation: "I love it."

People can't afford to feed their families. Your struggle is a joke to him.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Okay, if Colin Jost isn't writing this one up right now, what's the point of the SNL cold open

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Pres Trump just said 200 ships have secretly passed Hormuz since the war began

That’s compared to over 10,000 in the normal 100 days since the war

200 is 2% of the norm

World heading to historic energy crisis

[Shawn Harris for Congress @ShawnForGeorgia]

Trump was asked about inflation and said, "I love it."

Fuel is up. Fertilizer costs are up. Groceries are up. Families and farmers across Northwest Georgia are paying the price.

Maybe someone should ask Clay Fuller if he loves inflation too. He doesn't seem to disagree with Trump on anything.

Leadership Matters!!

A large military + strong alliances prevents war. One without the other doesn't. We've run this experiment before. We know how it ends. (link in reply)

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Inflation is rising and crushing American families at the pump and in the grocery store, all because of Trump's war in Iran that is continuing to spiral out of control.

The American people can end this chaos in November and elect Democrats who will stop the war and lower costs.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

So it looks like Trump flew pallets of cash to Iran? 3 billion?

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

TRUMP: "I LOVE THE INFLATION"

WOW. The President just admitted he loves when Americans pay more for the same things that used to cost less!

The @nba fix is in. These #referees are working against the @nyknicks in the #NBAFinals. Shame.

Sen. Ron Wyden in response to Bessent's opening statement: "Let's be clear here, nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history. We want to get some facts about this deal. That's what we're here for."

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

“The story of this era isn’t merely that powerful men demand obedience. History is full of powerful men demanding obedience. The story of this era is whether enough Americans still possess the courage to refuse. Scott Pelley did.”

60 doesn’t really have another Pelley in the pipeline talent-wise. Survival on reputation and ticking clock nostalgia has its limits. Only so many mid Bibi/Hegseth interviews before it turns into a Sunday morning show.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

MCCONNELL on PULTE at DNI:

“Very few Senate-confirmable positions come with statutory eligibility requirements. There are good reasons why the Director of National Intelligence is one of them. Anyone performing this role of such immense public trust must have the extensive national security experience required by statute, and no nominee who falls short of this requirement will earn my vote.”

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Kaitlan Collins: Is the $1.8B slush fund dead or is it on hold?

Trump: Uhhh I'd have to ask the lawyers, I don't know. It's a beautiful thing. It's the greatest thing. Be quiet. She used to be a conservative from Alabama

Collins: I'm still from Alabama

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump says the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports “Could” still be in place by Labor Day.

In March, Trump said this war would be over in 2–3 weeks. Now he’s talking about September and beyond.

He doesn’t have a plan.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: American politics is coin-operated. Money goes in, favors come out, and that's why spectacular wealth buys an ever-greater share of power over our national affairs, while the mere citizen is treated with contempt.

Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern American history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money on both sides.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

BESSENT: I believe the president's remarks were taken out of context

HASSAN: No. He said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody.' That's a direct quote

BESSENT: Groceries are going down

HASSAN: When was the last time you were in a grocery store?
