Crowds flock towards the exit in the middle of Trump's speech.

“Advice to Democrats:

Make Republicans—from the Trump administration to members of Congress to House and Senate candidates—talk about Iran. Make them defend their misbegotten and failed war.

This shouldn’t be hard.”

Wow

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump’s son-in-law is soliciting $5 billion from Middle Eastern oligarchs who want political favors from the Trump administration.

These are not business deals.
This is an open call for bribes.

Maga is boycotting the Obama Presidential Library... as if they have ever even stepped foot in a library anyways lol

Did you guys see this?? There are projected images popping all over D.C. adding to the swamp theme. 🤣

🚨🚨🚨

Pulte begins a purge of the intelligence community. Add it to what Hegseth is doing w/ the military, Blanche w/ Justice, Patel w/ FBI, and hirings at ICE, and we’re entering a very dangerous period, one that makes Watergate look like child’s play.

If the reflecting pool taught you anything DO NOT RIDE THIS

Imagine being so far up Trump’s ass you believe any of this.

Dismantling the Dept. of Ed and distributing its duties to a half dozen different agencies is foolish.
Handing responsibility for Special Ed to RFK Jr. is downright perverse.

And it’s NOT front page news because Trump allies are also buying the media.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.

Think about that.

At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.

Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.

Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.

Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.

Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.

Governments usually spend money to build things.

This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

He broke every promise. Remember that in November.

NEWS: I’m calling on the FAA to reject any pressure to rubberstamp Trump’s “Triumphal Arch.”

The safety of the flying public should not be jeopardized for a vanity project designed to stroke the President’s ego.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Giorgia Meloni ftw:

"Trump’s remarks are fully made up. I don’t know why the president of the US behaves like this with allies. It’s regrettable he doesn’t have the same determination with the enemies of the West, the enemies of the US.”

"A business tied to a longtime supporter of Trump was given a no-bid contract to install a water-purification system in the Reflecting Pool. The Park Service bypassed the competitive-bidding process...Cafaro was once involved in a bribery scandal."
