Feels like this photo of Susan Collins standing proudly behind Trump in the Oval Office, red MAGA hat in hand, really deserves to go viral.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

I gotta say these reporters alongside her are fucking assholes. You watch your colleague being treated like that being disrespected like that and you just stand there and let it happen and then ask your question. Fuck you — you fucking cowards fuck you — go get a different fucking job nobody trusts you pathetic pieces of shit anymore anyway.

BREAKING:

Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.

It must have struck a nerve.

Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

The new Melania movie chronicles the adventures of a Slovenian hooker who f*cks her way to the top, marries an adjudicated rapist, and together they fraternize with pedophiles, complicit in the knowledge that girls who the adjudicated rapist employed, were being trafficked.
The film is directed by a sexual predator, and by all reports, is absolutely awful - possibly the worst film ever, nobody's seen anything like it.
The film was financed by a mega-billionaire in exchange for political favor from the adjudicated rapist, who has also filed bankruptcy six times; accordingly, the film's woefully dismal financial performance to date, is understandable.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.

@maxnesterak This man is a murderer.
It was caught in broad daylight by this now traumatized woman.

Actor Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”

I like immigrants.

I like their food.

I like their work ethic.

I like it they are different from me.

I can’t be the only American who feels this way.
