This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

TRUMP: Look at the real corruption—Democrat corruption—that includes Jeffrey Epstein. All Democrats involved.

[Brett Erickson @BrettErickson28]

NEW: The entire world is being held hostage right now by Trump's desperate attempt to save his own crumbling legacy as a result of the Iran War.

Unfortunately, Iran is quickly realizing that the only way to TRULY end this war is by making any continuation more damaging to Trump's legacy than a total surrender would be.

And the only way to do that? Impose a LOT more damage on the global economy.

[Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski]

Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.

🚨 WATCH: Gavin Newsom says the flood of right-wing disinformation during the California wildfires made him realize he had to completely CHANGE his approach.

“They were controlling the narrative. They were dominating the narrative. The facts didn't matter. Narrative mattered.”

“I had to do something more smashmouth. I had to lean in. I had to take risks.”

“Clarity. Conviction. If we have a point of view, let's express it.”

ALL HANDS ON DECK

Angie Nixon: Yesterday I met with a Republican citrus grower and he told me he's voting for me because he is tired of the chaos and corruption coming out of Washington DC

[Acyn @Acyn]

Gavin Newsom on Trump’s Bizarre Behavior: You’re observing the end of a presidency as we know it. His time is up. People around him are starting to jump ship. You saw the act of desperation with Alaska. It’s the beginning of the end.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Newsom on Prop 50: The politics had changed, which means we need to fundamentally change. And I think it was reflected in terms of those lines that were redrawn. But we also drew other lines—lines of consciousness across this country about so many of the previews of things to come…

[Acyn @Acyn]

Newsom: Just a week ago, he threatened to arrest me and other election officials just a week ago in California if we count all the votes, including 20,000 that he identified as votes that he says are “illegal.” So this guy’s not screwing around.

We can’t take the eye off the ball. Even after we crush it on November 3rd, we have to be vigilant because I could see some mishigash with Johnson, and I could see some assaults on truth, trust, and the rule of law that will make all the rest of this look like it was spring training.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Newsom: We’re seeing this tsunami but.. he will do anything to maintain his power. 

Mike Johnson is, as you suggest, completely supine.

I ran out of the knee pads. We’re on the third printing of the knee pads to send to Johnson and his colleagues in Congress

And so we have to, right after this election’s done… have our legal teams focus on making sure that the folks that are congressional elects across this country all get actually sworn in the House of Representatives, and what I believe will be a majority in the Senate.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump started a war with Iran with no workable plan to protect our troops, diplomats or billion dollar bases. Every citizen should be furious about this. Just total, utter incompetence.

“His ears grow every time he tells a lie. Soon he’s just going to be ears.”

[Abigail Hauslohner @ahauslohner]

Amb. Waltz is very upset by this headline. He claims that I "fabricated" it. I appreciate that the ambassador took the time to talk to me, but it's unclear what he thinks was fabricated, given that his team also has a copy of the recording...
Me: "How long do you think it'll take to get Iran to capitulate under this status quo pressure?"
Waltz: “Well, we'll see. The president and the U.S. Navy can maintain this blockade for the foreseeable future, the maximum pressure campaign is only tightening. The regime, which controls 40 to 50% of the Iranian economy, continues to, to, to suffer under the pressure. So again, our pursuit, our, you know, our pursuit of a diplomatic solution is bolstered and backed by both economic and military, if necessary–that’s the president’s decision–pressure."
Me: “Do you think it could–this could still be largely the status quo a year from now?”
Waltz: “Uh, I’m not going to put out hypotheticals. One would hope that they'll come to the table in a, in a meaningful way before that.”
Me: “But if they don’t, we will be?”
Waltz: “Well, again, that’s, these are decisions for the president: how long he wants to sustain the blockade, how long he wants to pursue a diplomatic track with a mix of economic, diplomatic, and military pressure. Those are, those are the decisions and the tough decisions and the hard truths that the American people elected him to follow and to do.”

Leader @HakeemJeffries lays out House Democrats’ agenda:

We’re gonna work hard to drive down the high price of gas, groceries and housing. We’re gonna fight to make healthcare affordable, end this war, get ICE under control and reverse the Medicaid cuts.

We are going to engage in aggressive oversight so we can hold the crooks accountable who’ve been robbing the American people blind during the first two years of the Trump cartel’s reign of horror.

[Team Hakeem @teamhakeemhq]

Leader @HakeemJeffries: We will relentlessly focus on making life more affordable for the American people and holding the crooks accountable.

We’re gonna follow the facts, apply the law, be guided by the Constitution and let the chips fall where they may.

If you have folks who have been stealing from, shortchanging and screwing over the American people — we are going to hold you accountable using every tool available to the United States Congress.

[Chetter @ChetterHub]

The United States Navy exists to defend the nation, not serve as an armed escort for Trump’s oil schemes.

When a president starts bragging about piracy and turns American military power into a tool for moving oil, that’s not strength.

It’s a disgrace to the uniform.
