Trump: “Iran wants to make a deal with us very badly. We probably will. I think we will. The Strait is open”
Iran attacked a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz today. They’re laughing at Trump.
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
Column by Philip Kennicott: The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was meant to amplify the ideals of our democracy.
It’s now a police zone, where arrests are motivated by the president’s need to blame his own mismanagement on an imaginary enemy. https://t.co/wDcEi16R23
🚨TRUMP ISN’T SIGNING THE HOUSING BILL AS A FAVOR TO HIS RICH BUDDIES:
Trump’s rich friends in private equity purchased 25% of all homes for sale in Atlanta, and they’re doing it nationwide. That JACKS UP housing costs AND rents for all of us. SIGN THE DAMN BILL!
🚨 VOTER PURGE MACHINE KILLED: The regime handed 25 states a faulty database to secretly strip legal citizens of their voting rights before November. A federal judge just ordered a total freeze. RT to spread the word & read the ruling: 👇 https://t.co/CKLZbAKhBA
This dementia-ridden lunkhead will keep repeating the "nobody knew the word dumb has a b" lie forever, but WE'RE the ones with "TDS" for calling out how ridiculous it is.
8-year-olds know the word has a B. He's the President.
He is dumb, with a B.
Trump says a box cutter sliced the Lincoln Memorial pool. First 250 feet. Then 290. Then 300. Then 350. He says six thugs did it — a number he also just made up as he went. There’s a 24/7 camera that would’ve caught it instantly. Funny how that footage never shows up. No photos. No video. Just “you’ll see it in court.” If you’re still buying this, you’re not gullible. You’re just as full of it as he is.
THREAD: Tonight at the White House, Trump’s hosting a dinner to show off all his policy 'wins' for farmers. Too bad for him that real farmers know bullshit when they see it.
Trump claims farm bankruptcies rose to the highest level ever during Biden's last year in office.
(Under Trump, farm bankruptcies are 46% higher compared to Biden)

Donald Trump is fighting with Senate Republicans. Senate Republicans are fighting with House Republicans. House Republicans are fighting with each other.
Meanwhile.
Democrats are fighting to build housing that everyday Americans can afford.
Inflation hit 4.1 in May. Highest level in 3 years. Yesterday, Trump killed a bipartisan affordable housing bill designed to help Americans people struggling with rent, gas, energy bills, and the inflation he caused.
Had enough of this yet, MAGA?
776,134.
That is the exact number of children who have been stripped of their food assistance under the new Republican SNAP restrictions.
Make this number the only thing Republicans see today. Make it viral. #RepublicansStarveChildren
Out of 20,000 sex offenders incarcerated in our federal prisons, Ghislaine Maxwell was the ONLY one who the Trump administration moved to a low security prison camp.
Why isn’t this a bigger scandal?
Where is the press??
Yesterday’s abrupt retirement announcement by Gen. Chris Donahue, the Commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) and NATO’s Allied Land Command, was made at the request of the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, people familiar with the matter tell The Wall Street Journal.
Prior to this announcement, many believed Donahue was on a fast track to become Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, having led the Army’s Delta Force commandos in Iraq and Syria when it took the fight to Islamic State militants and was the “last man out” when the troops he commanded at the 82nd Airborne Division were called in to secure the 2021 evacuation of U.S. personnel and Afghan allies from Kabul, Afghanistan.
General Donahue’s removal is said to be part of an ongoing push by Hegseth to put his imprint on the military’s leadership, while squeezing out officers with track records of battlefield valor and command experience in favor of less accomplished political loyalists, officers that fully support both himself and President Trump.
Bipartisan rebellion. Sen. Tim Kaine lost 9 straight times trying to stop Trump's unauthorized war in Iran. He came back a 10th time and WON, passing a resolution 50-48 to bring our troops home. Trump is absolutely furious. 👇 🔗 https://t.co/CKLZbAKhBA
NEW: Hours after heated exchange with Trump, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) in memo to Todd Blanche seeking answers about Trump’s sweetheart immunity deal with IRS
PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?
POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No.
PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face the consequences of not being able to vote by mail
