It has been the law since 1868 so this is the right thing to do…at the very least to put Trump’s abuse of power in check.

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s proposed limits. https://t.co/RqBi4UDJAY

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

@LauraLoomer Are you really this afraid or is it just for clicks? Chill and enjoy life. This has been the law since the 1800s and America has done just fine. Or, maybe I misunderstood, are you leaving America? 🤣🤣🤣

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

@RepFine Stop with the scare tactics and political theater. They’re not “foreign invaders” and it’s not a “left” issue. It has been the way our system has worked for longer than either of us has been alive.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

Anyone who buys that the reflecting pool damage is solely from a nearly 300’ razor cut and not shoddy work, isn’t using their critical thinking skills. Think of paint on a car. A scratch won’t cause the entire coating to come off.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

Wrong and sketchy on so many levels. Once again, THIS is why he forgoes his salary. Who needs it when you’re corrupt and benefitting every other way? 🤦‍♂️

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This would be a scandal that would have ended any other presidency.

Qatar gave a $400 million Boeing 747 to the Pentagon. Trump calls it a “free” gift. It is not free. The Air Force just spent months retrofitting it with secure communications, missile defense, and electromagnetic shielding.

The cost of that work is classified.

Estimates say north of a billion.

The number is enormous, and you are paying it.

Now the part they bury.

Under the memorandum signed by the Pentagon and Qatar, ownership of the plane transfers to Trump’s presidential library foundation when he leaves office. His own son says it will sit in the lobby of a future Trump hotel.

So follow the chain.

A foreign government hands a luxury jet to a sitting president. American taxpayers rebuild it from the inside out. Then Trump takes it home.

A gift you use for four years and then keep is still a gift. The Constitution bars foreign gifts to a president without the consent of Congress. This one never got that consent.

We are paying a fortune to gift wrap a luxury jet that ends up in his private collection.

Grift in plain sight.

@WhiteHouse Will he be explaining how we’re back to where were started before the war (or worse) except for American service members being dead and us paying them billions of dollars? Art of the Deal my foot…what a phony.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

Wasted money with people tweeting things like “Trump is an expert builder” - such a waste for the sake of political theater. I’ve been to many times and the pool was always just fine.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Paint has begun stripping off the Reflecting Pool just days after Trump's $14 million repainting was finished

@LangmanVince Character matters. I’ve been a Republican since turning 18 & the GOP claimed that when Bill Clinton did what he did. Now, MAGA has abandoned any semblance of character & decency. So no, it’s not just the “radical left” - it’s decent GOP humans who believe character still matters

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The gathering on the National Mall on July 4 is now being called a "TRUMP RALLY." Because any moment that should be for you, America, he has to make about himself.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

@WhiteHouse This night, and this presidency, will go down in the history books as shameful and un-American. As we say in Kentucky, y’all need Jesus.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

“We’re a Christian nation”

Meanwhile, a tasteless, trashy, disgraceful, and anti-Christ display to celebrate the person who pretty much embodies all of those qualities in the @WhiteHouse

Christianity is lost on them. Really is heartbreaking.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨OMG. A fighter just declared “Michelle Obama is a man” on the White House lawn as Joe Rogan chuckles.

Tonight is a DISGRACE to our country, not a celebration.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

Saw a social media post about the UFC event saying they understood why Rome had the colosseum. They left out the fact that they eventually used it to entertain the emperor while the empire collapsed. Such a pathetic and tasteless display….Marines saluting UFC guys? NOT patriotic

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

The opening round is LIVE. LFG. 🔥

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.

After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

My family attended our first ever @Reds game today & had a great time, & they won!! Parking & traffic were no problem whatsoever. The only drawback were no players staying after to sign autographs (multiple @Dbacks players did). We will def be back!

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

Glad they removed his name from the Kennedy Center. It’s not politics for me…just the right thing to do. A memorial is just that…Kennedy was assassinated. Nobody from any party for any reason deserves to be on there….Kennedy alone.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

MAGA has gone from “airline passengers should dress up for their flights” to having a UFC gladiator-type fight on the grounds of the White House for the emperor’s birthday.

They need to just stop acting like they care anything about professionalism and decorum.

@potus

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

The fact that he pardoned people who laid hands on police officers that day is shameful. To think they deserve any compensation is a further insult. The fact that it isn’t a deal breaker for a lot of people speaks volumes of their integrity.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Trump Says Many January 6 Defendants "Should Be Compensated."

In other words:

Not only should they avoid punishment.

Taxpayers should pay them.

That's a remarkable position.

For years, conservatives argued criminals should face consequences for their actions.

Now the conversation is whether the public should reimburse people convicted in connection with January 6.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

It should’ve included just military bands and solely focused on our great country.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I’m actually pretty pissed at how badly they’ve bungled America 250. First they tried to invite Milli Vanilli and a bunch of other absurdly washed up geriatric one hit wonders. Then when that didn’t work they decided to convert the event into a Trump rally where Trump will talk about himself for 90 minutes. This should have been a massive, raucous celebration of the country and its 250 year history. Now it will be a political rally identical to the ten million other ones we’ve already seen.

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

@potus I’m paying $300 more per month in gas alone since the war started. Get your head out of the sand and acknowledge that it’s NOT okay. If this is “booming” to you, I guess that explains all of the bankruptcies. 🤦‍♂️

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "We have a war going on and the economy is booming. Today, we just hit another -- number 69 is all time high. Today. And we have a war going on."

[Mike Gross @mikegross]

Yes, we must reject right-wing extremism AND left-wing extremism. Whether it’s a Republican or Democrat, we must push back and they must be held accountable when they commit crimes, break the trust of the people, etc. Character matters no matter your political affiliation.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The answer to right-wing extremism isn’t left-wing extremism. We should reject both
