So the evil masterminds who supposedly rigged the election to defeat Trump in 2020 because he was a threat to the Deep State then let him win in 2024 and allowed his party to also win the senate and house?

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

The most sober, terrifying thing I can say as a Trump presidential historian is that what happened tonight was not about you, me, or America.

He's going to do what he's going to do based on how he convinces *himself* to do it.

Nothing else matters. He's not listening to anyone.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

CNN's Kaitlan Collins: "We'll be monitoring what the president says tonight, as we always do, but aren't taking it live, given the president has a well documented history of saying blatantly false things about elections."

Reminder that when the White House website says "please wait while we check your browser" it's data-mining the daylights out of you.

Best practice is to only access the site through a secure browser that saves no info and automatically deletes browsing data.

Not only did tariffs do a doozy on the economy, jacking up prices for Americans, the country has now lost tax dollars by @SecScottBessent screwing up the refunds.

Bessent needs to be fired for this.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The most breathtaking part of tonight's insanity is this. He claims a conspiracy that was allegedly so perfect it leaves absolutely zero proof, and demands you believe he found it.

This man intends to hand American democracy like an accused witch in late 17th century Salem.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol.

Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

[Cuckturd @CattardSlim]

Wut?

Trump accidentally released intelligence that shows Putin trying to help Trump frame Biden on Burisma.

I knew Trump was working with Russia to steal the election!

Lock his traitorous ass up

[Prez @PrezLives2022]

If anyone truly wanted to make a case for election interference and wanted to appeal to the people of this country with a live speech, here’s some sound advice.

Never let Trump be the voice to sell that claim. All that guy did was make a fool out of all the idiots who thought they discovered something useful.

If the US was under attack, never let Trump speak. If the banking system collapsed, don’t let Trump speak. In any emergency never let Trump speak and never let a criminal (alleged😂😂) criminal like him try to find crimes.

All Trump discovered was that Russia tried to help him win in 2020, like they did in 2016 in my opinion.

The man is a first world idiot with a 3rd world mentality. America is laughing at the 💩show, as is the world.

Republicans could release the entire unredacted Epstein files and find a way to phuck it up. The entire administration collectively has a two digit IQ.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Boy he must have really been hoping no one would look at the documents he talked about tonight because they underscore what I've been saying for 6 years, which is that the Trump-Ukraine Scandal was infinitely worse than people thought from the facts revealed during Impeachment #1

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb:

“I think tonight's speech is intended to add to the predicate that he needs to declare an emergency at or about the time of the elections”

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The declassified documents Trump just released tonight to “prove” the 2020 election was “rigged” actually show that Russia tried to interfere to hurt Biden and help Trump.

@PressSec The Voter Suppression Act… that disenfranchises women in particular.

Republicans can’t win so they have to cheat!

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Every American has the right to vote.

But the President continues to attack that right, including once again voting by mail (which he has done himself).

He's relitigating an election he lost six years ago instead of focusing on what he should be fixing: costs are up for families across the country and his war has no end in sight. Despite everything he said tonight, Americans will go to the polls this fall because they don’t want more rubber stamps of Donald Trump.

EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch has learned new details of what really happened inside Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein survivors today. One survivor noted Blanche was "abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal." Here are the full details. https://t.co/B5OXq1xfpX

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

It is tempting to simply view this speech with derision. A feeble demagogue lying over and over. It is far more dangerous and insidious. Trump is trying to lay the predicate to declare a national emergency and seize control of the election machinery. Potentially to seize control of television and radio outlets. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

At a time when millions of Americans are finding it harder to pay for groceries, housing and healthcare, when the climate crisis is causing record heatwaves and forest fires, Donald Trump felt it appropriate tonight to spew conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

Pathetically, in true authoritarian fashion, he even threatened to revoke the licenses of ABC and NBC because they would not cover his speech. Insane.

Too many Americans have fought and died to defend American democracy.

All of us, regardless of our political views, must stand together against this dangerous president who is seeking to undermine our Constitution and our basic freedoms.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche:

"After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General.

"I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors — a marked contrast to his public testimony during his confirmation hearing.

"While quick to point to the failures of previous administrations, he refused to take accountability for mistakes made under his own leadership. Specifically, he would not commit to an inquiry into why my sister Maria Farmer's 1996 report went uninvestigated; he refused to release documents related to internal discussions about charging Epstein that would provide important clarification about previous errors, and his explanations for his nine-hour interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and her subsequent transfer to a less secure facility were wholly dissatisfactory and contrived.

"His evasiveness felt like a deliberate attempt to claim the Attorney General's office is powerless in this matter. By passing the buck once again, he is leaving survivors trapped in the same endless loop of searching for answers and receiving none."

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

The documents are so damning in refuting Trump's own case that I wonder if anyone in the White House actually read them (or understood what they were looking at)

Pete Hegseth’s senior yearbook pic has me cackling because he looks like the lead singer in a 90s pop punk cover band called All Time Low-T
