BREAKING: Mallory McMorrow just took to the Senate floor and destroyed Donald Trump for holding the housing bill hostage. Every American needs to watch this speech.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

What does this tell us?

[Glenn Tunes @glenn_tunes]

SPEECHLESS 🙄

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

The party screaming about communism is literally threatening to change rules so they can stay in power. Irony is dead.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Touch paint: arrested.
Touch child: elected.

[Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews]

I can recall about a decade ago some folks saying the threat of an ultra conservative SCOTUS was overblown.

Those people were wrong.

Thank you John Harwood for shoving a sock in this Trump’s talking piece trash mouth, Laura Ingraham! 🤣

Something something election fraud.

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

Basically

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Family members of US soldiers wounded in Iran were reportedly told by military personnel their loved ones only sustained 'minor injuries.'

Several families have said this was not true, and their loved ones were actually suffering severe shrapnel wounds and traumatic brain injuries.

Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Gavin Newsom is right. Not only is the SAVE Act a voter suppression bill, but if passed, it would give the loathsome piece of shit complete control of voter rolls, where he'd be able to delete registered Democratic voters. America has never faced an enemy as dangerous as Trump.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

[Mitch Jackson, Esq. @mitchjackson]

Let me be really clear about what just happened.

The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.

You don’t get to look away from this one.

This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.

Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.

Stay informed. Stay loud.

REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING NYT:

Government documents raise new doubts about Trump's unsubstantiated claim that "vandals" sabotaged the Reflecting Pool.

There's no indication the peeling blue coating and algae blooms were caused intentionally — and the Trump admin knew that.
