Trump got badly played by Iran, but not as badly as Trump supporters got played by voting for him.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Just putting this out there - which one of these world leaders looks fit, alert, healthy, groomed, and engaged, and which one is hunched, oblivious, decaying, slovenly, and staring into space.

Today, an out-of-touch president spent $60 million celebrating his birthday while many American families are struggling with the cost of living.

June 14 is a good reminder of why so many people appreciate Obama.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

I’m fighting to protect our planet and bring down costs. 

I just introduced a set of bills to stand up to Trump’s climate-killing energy policies, support affordable clean energy, and help lower energy costs for everyday Americans.

Trump exhibits all the signs of having a previous stroke with visible right sided weakness (floppy arm and foot drop,) slurred, incoherent speech. This administration is lying and covering up his health issues. Why did he have an annual physical three times in only 13 months, and why did he need 22 physicians for one exam? 🙄

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

-war will tame Iran
-mass deportations will help native-born Americans
-blowing up boats will stop
drugs
-foreign countries will pay the tariffs
-tax cuts will pay for themselves
-cutting fraud will balance the budget

it's all wrong, as Trump 2.0 shows

The last time I was at the White House I made a beeline for FLOTUS portrait.

SEN. KELLY: Trump kissed Putin’s ass over the years in a way that I just find... like, why? Why do you have to suck up to this guy? Putin played Trump in a way that benefited Putin and Russia, and put Ukrainians at further risk. Ukraine is our ally under attack by our adversary.

The war in Iran has taken the lives of American service members, driven up the cost of living, and left our country less secure.

Ashley Moody has voted for it eight times.

We need leaders who will hold this administration accountable, not ones who give it a blank check.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with Michelle Obama!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom says that Trump is using the Justice Department to investigate him and his wife because he is running for president in 2028.

“Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere.”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨WTF! Donald Trump seems to LACK the strength in his right arm today to do his signature pulling handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron.

He also looks GRUMPY as hell today. What’s going on?

[Trump Lie Tracker (Commentary Account) @MAGALieTracker]

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just issued a defiant response to Trump after he sent federal agents after Newsom and his family. Trump continues to weaponize government to go after his political opponents. Everyone needs to watch and share this video.

[Tim Hogan 浩勤 @TimInHonolulu]

Dems have to stop putting all the blame for our surrender to Iran on Trump. Put it on blast for every GOP House member and the twenty or so GOP Senators running in November.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

The cost of living in Florida has skyrocketed — I’m running to fix that.

So young people like my 15-year old daughter can afford to build a life here, and folks like my 94-year-old dad can afford to stay here.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

So we spent 80 billion bombing them, just to pay them 300 billion to rebuild?

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

We have sacrificed trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of American lives in a series of Middle East wars, and all we've accomplished is making some executives at Raytheon and Lockheed Martin very, very rich.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. 

The country is watching.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Wow.

Confirmed that we’re going to give Iran $300 BILLION.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

This is a portrait I painted of one of many heroes of mine from the Civil Rights movement. The Rev. James Zwerg, circa 1961. He was one of the Freedom Riders, along with John Lewis, William Barbee, Catherine Burks, and many others, who pulled into Montgomery, AL on a bus May 20, 1961.

He volunteered to step off first.

The mob was waiting with baseball bats, chains, and clubs. They beat him until three of his vertebrae cracked, his nose broke, and every tooth in his head was fractured. They beat him unconscious on the pavement. A Black stranger in coveralls walked up and said, “Stop beating that kid. If you want to beat someone, beat me.” And they did. He saved Zwerg’s life.

White ambulances refused to take him. He lay in the street for over an hour. That is the moment I painted. Bloodied suit. Head bowed.

At Martin Luther King Jr.’s urging, Zwerg later went to seminary and was ordained in the United Church of Christ.

Rev. Zwerg is now 86 and lives in Tucson, Arizona. His courage and conviction, alongside that of countless others, helped save this nation. These are the people I celebrate as we near our 250th anniversary as a nation.
