TRUMP: You know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch.

Sorry, Donald. Iran is laughing at YOU, as is the rest of the world.

Who agrees?

[Jane Heller @janeheller1]

@SpencerHakimian Who?

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Ok, so let me get this straight…the dude who puked on himself live on tv during his weigh in, is hurling insults at the former First Lady now?

Disgusting. Welcome to the Trump Administration.

@StephenKing Hydrox for me.

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.

After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Yes we will

It’s done! Trump’s name has been YEETED from the Kennedy Center like the failed grifter he is.

No more pretending he belongs anywhere near JFK’s legacy.

Bye, Donnie. Don’t let the tarp hit your ass on the way out. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: D-DAY DISGRACE! Pentagon Pete shames our fallen WWII heroes at the Normandy ceremony by comparing migrant boats to the Allied invasion against the Nazis!

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth delivered an incredibly disrespectful performance at today’s D-Day commemoration in Normandy, using the solemn event to push anti-immigrant rhetoric.

While standing on the hallowed beaches where Allied forces launched the largest invasion in history to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation, Hegseth said:

“Today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?”

OMG. D-Day was the moment American, British, Canadian and other Allied troops risked everything to storm those beaches and defeat fascism. A day when it really seemed the future of the world hung in the balance.

To cheapen the 82nd commemoration of that day with B.S. xenophobic political posturing about migration is just unconscionable.

On behalf of the handful of youthful heroes still with us at 100 years of age or more, we apologize on behalf of the American people.

At one of the most sacred and historic sites in the world, the Trumper Hegseth couldn’t even show some basic respect to the fallen by leaving politics the f*ck out of it for once.

Shame on you, Pete. Quiet, piggy.

Dear @realDonaldTrump:

Please do not come to Game 3. You don’t want to be the jinx.

Warmly,

Hey @nytimes - how about some clarification?

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

It's kind of wild to find out that the Republican in the NYT story that says she had a toxic relationship with Graham Platner is Lyndsey Fifield. Having been in DC for too long, I know a decent number of people who know her quite well. For a long time she was the co-host of a podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel, called Ladybrains, though she has also worked for multiple super PACs, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Heritage Foundation.

Some background, presented without judgment: In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.

In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.

The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was "a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns."

In an interview for a news outlet called Red Alert Politics that named her to a “30 under 30” list back in 2016, she said that she wanted to “emulate the late conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart’s approach to online activism.” Breitbart, known for pushing the boundaries when it came to political combat, is perhaps best remembered for having exposed Anthony Weiner’s penchant for sending nudes to young girls, and for his work elevating James O’Keefe.

That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it.

Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’”

Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back.

Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:

🇺🇦🎾 MARTA KOSTYUK SAYS RUSSIAN PLAYERS HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THEIR SIDE

“You know, after four years, I think they've made it very clear whose side they are on. So, again, this is their burden to carry and this is what they live with, not me.” - Marta Kostyuk 🇺🇦

Cold, direct, and impossible to dress up.

After four years of full-scale war, silence is not neutral anymore. It becomes a position.

Kostyuk is not carrying their excuses for them. She is leaving that weight exactly where it belongs.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.
