Donald Trump cares so little about bringing down YOUR housing costs that he’s refusing to sign the biggest housing bill in 30 years.
The good news: it’s going to become law anyway.
VANCE, LAST WEEK: “I’d love it if Democrats were willing to work with us on lowering housing prices…”🤔
His ridiculous gaslighting looks even worse today, as Trump declares the bipartisan housing bill dead. (Because he doesn’t get to cheat and block millions from voting)
“The President is right that his tariffs are at work—in destroying U.S. jobs and raising prices. The U.S. has lost some 75,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2025, including 25,900 in motor vehicle and parts production.”@WSJ https://t.co/QVLG6tlJkV
Every American — regardless of political party — should be horrified at yet another blatant effort by President Trump to eradicate every safeguard of free and fair elections.
If Republicans remain silent in the face of his obvious attempts to rig the election, they are complicit in allowing our democracy to crumble.
Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.
If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.
All the signals are flashing red, the latest being @POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.
Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.
So he's setting up Plan B--do whatever you need to do to win. Anything.
Anyone who says "Well, he wouldn't do THAT" hasn't paid attention. He's already proven he will!
So the period AFTER the Midterms may be even more turbulent than the run up to them.
The courts are going to be very busy this fall.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family called him "El mundo entero" — the whole world.
Two days ago, he was shot and killed by ICE agents on his way to work. Many of us have seen the horrifying video of him crying out in pain, and we continue to be outraged by the horrific and cruel actions of ICE under the Trump Administration.
Doug and my prayers are with Lorenzo's wife, his three sons, and all those who loved and knew him. I join his son Ronaldo in calling for an immediate, independent, and transparent investigation.
"When the Roman Empire was collapsing, they instituted a system called bread and circus. Whenever shit gets really bad, you hand out free bread and you have a free circus to distract people from what's really going on. The UFC fight was the circus. They haven't handed out the bread yet"
Sen. Coons: "This war has made clear that the mullahs have the ability to shut the Strait of Hormuz using mines and drones…My hunch is we will soon see the prices of oil, and gas, and fertilizer go back up as we go back into active fighting tonight and tomorrow."
This is all just ballooning foreign policy malpractice. The negotiations are a “waste of time” because Trump’s negotiators change by the day. So do his goals and demands. It’s all gross incompetence that is costing American taxpayers and consumers billions.
Hey Republicans: We found that VOTER FRAUD y'all have been obsessing over.
But it wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
It was former Texas AG Ken Paxton.
So, you'll be holding him accountable, right?🙄
This is strange because I was told by @JDVance that the "cool" thing about the negotiation was he realized the Iranians were actually really great and dumb American leaders of the past didn't understand how easy it was to end wars with them.
Democrats should fight fire with fire. If there’s no proof of life, Kentucky is required to have a snap election and Thomas Massie should be able to run for his seat. Mitch McConnell called himself the Grim Reaper, make sure the real one hasn’t visited him. Otherwise, it’s fraud.
