WELKER: Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on J6 should get taxpayer money?

TRUMP: I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I'd have to see it. They had FBI agents ushering them into the building.

WELKER: There's no evidence of that

TRUMP: Try looking at the tapes one time. Many of those people should be compensated.

@cozzmo73 Good question! Trump thinks his presidency is a popularity contest so let's show him otherwise come November '26 and in November '28!

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

@AntiTrumpCanada Hegseth needs to SHUT UP! Why ANYONE invites him to speak to WW2 events is beyond me!

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

Speak for yourself, @realDonaldTrump! You know EVERYTHING about "stolen elections"!

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

Trump attacks Kristen Welker after she presses him on his false claims of rigged elections, abruptly ending the interview: "You're either crooked, or you're stupid."

@DianaCialino People in Maine have the POWER to end Susan Collins' political history - VOTE HER OUT!

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

@TheOnlyEsta U.S. voters need to do all they can to STOP Trump from adding his name in the first place!

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

Vote solid BLUE as if your life depended on it - because it does!

[Willie Ross Jr. Knee Deep @RossKneeDeep]

He really does think that they're all imbeciles.

Donald Trump has sparked outrage yet again after telling America’s farmers their lives are “better than mine” - despite a poll showing millions are facing financial problems.

Speaking at an agricultural roundtable in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, the president told farmers: “You have a nice, safe beautiful life. Your life is much better than my life.”

Addressing the crowd of farmers, Trump told them: “You have a way of life that sometimes you’re land rich and cash poor, sometimes you’re - lots of different conditions - but people that are on farms love being on farms.”

Right now they're broke.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP JUST HAD HIS WORST MELTDOWN EVER.

Trump completely unravels when Kristen Welker challenged him on his California election claims.

Instead of providing evidence, he called her "crooked" and "stupid," attacked the press, and abruptly WALKS OUT in the middle of the interview.

She did what every journalist should do every time Trump spews his unfounded bullsh*t.

Thank you, Kristen.

@joncoopertweets Father? Make him PROVE it!

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

@TheJFreakinC Maybe U.S. born citizens should ask/demand ICE agents to prove they are U.S. citizens first! It seems that to be questioned legitimately, ICE agents need to go through the same process!

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works.

Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this."

That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door.

Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply.

Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

Colbert got cancelled because CBS’ owner wanted to suck up to Trump.

Over and over, billionaires are auctioning off our 1st Amendment.

This isn’t about the rights of a TV host.

It’s about all our rights to live in a country where the president doesn’t dictate who says what.

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

@RepMikeLevin The "lasting" question I have is what happens when Trump dies?

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

@Suzierizzo1 One way to deal with the time our democracy was held hostage by Trump & Co. is to keep it in place but use it as an example of how the Founding Fathers DID NOT expect criminality and corruption to happen in America! WE should NEVER forget what happened!

[SilenceBeDamned🇺🇸🦅 @SilenceDamned]

The January 6 crowd and their MAGA cheerleaders are running one of the most shameless propaganda campaigns in modern American history.

These people smashed their way into the Capitol, attacked cops, hunted lawmakers, and tried to overturn an election they lost — and now they want taxpayers to treat them like oppressed heroes. It would be laughable if it weren’t so disgusting.

Every day it’s a new fairy tale. “It was peaceful.” “It was staged.” “It was Antifa.” “The FBI did it.” Anything — literally ANYTHING — to avoid admitting they were part of a mob that disgraced this country on live television for the entire world to see.

Now the same people who screamed “back the blue” are pretending the police officers they assaulted were the real villains. The same people who called themselves patriots are begging for pardons, donations, sympathy, and even taxpayer-funded rewards after attacking the seat of American democracy because their guy lost.

They are trying to rewrite history because the truth humiliates them.

No amount of MAGA spin changes what happened on January 6. Americans watched the violence. Americans saw the broken windows, the Confederate flags in the Capitol, the beatings, the chaos, and the cowardice. The footage exists. The arrests exist. The convictions exist.

You don’t get to attack democracy, lie about it for years, and then demand the American people pay you for your failure.

@therichfromca Who says the incident was an "assassination attempt"? I've heard that the shooter had mental illness. Sounds more like a "suicide by cop" incident!

[Paul Demler @pldemler]

@RossKneeDeep Who knew that a stroke could adversely affect one's "thinking cap"?

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

“If we erase January 6th, it didn’t happen”

“If we don’t release certain inflation data, there’s no inflation”

“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry”

“If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence”

“If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases”

The Trump administration wants you to believe their propaganda is fact, and control the majority of mainstream media and social platforms to reinforce their lies.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.
