[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Ossoff, to conservatives:

"Why are gangs of masked men... [in our cities] shooting people? What happened to 'Don't tread on me?' Are there any principled conservatives left?"

Good question.

Conservatives cannot claim a belief in liberty if they refuse to speak out against ICE.

[@jason @Jason]

ICE under @StephenM has lost 90% of its cases.

Let that sink in, folks.

These are the facts.

They’re breaking the law with violent, and often untrained, masked agents — who don’t wear body cameras.

This should be concerning to freedom-loving Republicans most of all.

Why aren’t any of you speaking up?

Nothing?

Cowards!

If you’re in Trump’s circle, you’re not allowed to criticize anything this administration does.

You must exhibit TDS at all times: Trump Derangement Syndrome

This incompetence is a major contributor to @realDonaldTrump’s plummeting approval rating, and why the democrats will likely dominate the midterms.

We must hold @EnvoyNoem @StephenM @PamBondi and @RealTomHoman accountable

… but they’ll all get pardons.

How you treat the meek is the best way to judge a person's character, as is staying silent in the face of injustice.

Cowards!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Don't get TRAPPED paying for subscriptions you don't want anymore.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

We must take back the House or we will lose this republic.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Nick Shirley gets pressed on why he doesn’t go after Trump and all the people he’s pardoned for billions of dollars in fraud.

He had no answer.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: While hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their health care, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom.

They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill.

And while you pay more for everything, the Trumps are raking in billions from all over the world. Illegal tariffs, failed war, health care cuts, and unmatched corruption.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Mamdani is a genuine asset to the Democratic Party because he drives very online Republicans insane, and they spend more time focused on finding dumb things to hate about him than messaging to actual persuadable voters.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

$1 million. That's the going rate lobbyists now openly quote to get a pardon case in front of Donald Trump. 

The pardon power exists for one reason: to let a president correct cases where the justice system got something wrong. That’s NOT what’s happening.  

Trump is creating an under-the-table business where wealthy criminals can buy their way out of a sentence. 

That is corruption, plain and simple, and it is an egregious abuse of the presidential pardon power.  

Enough is enough. We need legislation permitting Congress to overturn a presidential pardon with a two-thirds vote.

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

It isn't surprising that the administration that thinks prescription drug prices can be reduced by 600% also thought immigrants increased housing costs by 30% and had to revise down its beef export numbers by 90%.

Please hire some mathematicians.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

A reminder: the bipartisan housing bill passed the Senate 85–5 and the House 358–32.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about the American people.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Tucker Carlson: “The truth is, after this war, it’s impossible to say Trump’s Republican Party, MAGA is acting on behalf of the US. It’s acting on behalf of Israel, that’s just a fact. That’s the opposite of what they told us we were getting. It’s such a betrayal. We really believed you were gonna at least try and in the end it’s all about cryptocurrency scams and wars for Israel? I can’t believe you did that. I’m outraged that someone I supported would betray the country and his own voters and then to whip around and say I’m not loyal? You’re disloyal. You sold out the country to a foreign nation”

[Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein]

The average American needs to know:

1) Data centers are the best thing that's happened to you since fossil fuels.
2) All of the alleged problems with data centers are either fake or solvable.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Donald Trump on housing affordability.

"It's so unimportant."
"It's a yawn. Just about everything is a big yawn."
"I don't think about Americans' financial situation."
"I don't think about anybody."
"I don't care about the midterms."
"I love the inflation."
"I don't want to drive housing prices down, I want to drive housing prices up."

[autist @litteralyme0]

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

again, big picture, donald trump won an election about affordability and then he

- passed tariffs (which raise consumer prices)
- expanded the deficit w a ginormous corporate tax cut (raises interest rates)
- waged a stupid war (raises gas prices)
- and now refuses to sign a bipartisan bill to reduce housing costs bc he's protesting senate republicans for failing to pass voting restrictions

... while making $2 billion from crypto rug pulls that transferred income from his supporters to his bank account

americans hate the president for very good reasons

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Republican Party 4 months before midterms: "You're not getting affordable housing unless you give up your voting rights"

Great message.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump's DOJ is obstructing the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's ranch.

If you don't understand that Trump's DOJ is protecting Trump and his billionaire pedophile friends, then you haven't been paying attention.

There is no communist threat.

Voter fraud is not a real issue.

Immigrants are not the source of your problems.

These are merely the lies told by the corrupt and incompetent Republican politicians who are failing America.

[PresidentLinkin @Linkin1319]

Once you accept that Donald Trump is simply a mobster who does not care about any social issues, any geopolitical issues, any economic issues, etc., and that his sole, reptilian purpose is to enrich himself by any means, legal or not, it all makes sense.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.
