trump is lying hard now.

If @WhiteHouse had evidence of a long gash (that magically went from 250 feet to 350 feet depending on the day trump talks about it), then trump would be parading those pictures around.

Reporters on scene couldn’t find any gash. Because trump is lying.

Americans realizing it is illegal to touch water in public but if you touch children on private islands you will become the president of the US

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

So he can in fact call in the National Guard whenever he wants. He just refused to do it to protect the Capitol on January 6th for 187 minutes. Glad we cleared that up.

[𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖋𝖊𝖗 @LucifersTweetz]

I can't believe I have to say this, but arresting civilians for collecting paint chips and not arresting the people in power for raping children is fucking evil.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[Drew Bricks @DrewBricks]

This was swept under the rug so fast

[J-L Cauvin @JLCauvin]

One of the worst arguments I hear from pundits is "The system is stopping a lot of what Trump is doing (therefore the Dems are too alarmist)."

Oh, so let him keep trying?

If your dog walker were caught stealing from your home would you keep him as dog walker because a neighbor caught him before he could get away with it? Of course not. But for the President, he gets unlimited chances at crime and degrading our country because he gets stopped a lot? Absolute stupidity and civic suicide.

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen.

trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at @TheJusticeDept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego.

Best portrait of Trump I've seen yet.

Let's see how people defend this one. No slurs. No insults. I want to know what part of making medicine more expensive for the world at large does in benefiting anyone that isn't in the 1%

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

It’s a public library, museum, playground, and public park with walking trails.

All privately funded, and for the public.

Cope harder bro.

[jezz @JezziiB]

The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.

No, Secretary Kennedy

NO child should die from measles.

Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

The U.S. have won Group D at the World Cup, keeping a path for a Round of 16 match in Seattle alive.

They can sit Christian Pulisic and the four players on yellow cards for Thursday's match vs. Turkey without issue.
