This is what the people of the United States of America voted for and what they want.

In other words, fuck ‘em.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Excited to hear from Trump and Republicans how this is all Biden’s fault.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

He's an idiot.

[Acyn @Acyn]

PabloReports: Do you agree with Senator Cornyn that there is nothing that can be done to constrain Trump?

Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, on these slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs.

@atrupar Please do and be sure to lock yourself in.

[Artie Vandelay @ArtieVandelay1]

@WhiteHouse Fixed it for you.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump knew the contractor when he was taking credit for the Reflecting Pool renovation.

But now that it's been botched, he’s never heard of him?

Funny how that works.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Vance’s boss, the president, has pardoned more than 70 fraudsters, some of whom defrauded people in the billions of dollars.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

🔥 Here's Sen. Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Todd Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50,000 that the FBI reported it handed to Homan in a bribery sting? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

WHOA!!! Cory Booker unleashed absolute HELL on the Judiciary Committee floor as they voted to advance Todd Blanche to the Senate. 💥

​No fluff, zero filter, just pure real-time accountability.

That's the fire we need. 🔥🍿

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Easy to see how he won 43 Club Championships with this masterful putting stroke.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

If the Democrats don’t run this shit as an ad from now until 2028 they don’t deserve to win.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

43-time Club Champion.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Just want to remind you all that if a Democratic president had referred to red states as "dirty" and "filthy" and smelly and gross, it would have led the entire media, not just Fox, for days on end, and screaming Republicans would have demanded a public apology.

[Acyn @Acyn]

CNN side by side video of Trump saying today he didn’t know the reflecting pool contractor and… 

Trump in April saying: I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools. I'm going to send my contractor over.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Speaking of lying.

RFK Jr just said:

“I have never questioned the efficacy of the MMR vaccine.”

Is he not aware that we all have Chat GPT?

“For many years, Kennedy repeatedly questioned both the safety and effectiveness of the MMR vaccine.

Examples include:

He has repeatedly promoted the claim that the MMR vaccine is linked to autism, despite extensive scientific research finding no causal link.

He has argued that immunity acquired through natural measles infection is superior to vaccine-induced immunity, implying that vaccination is a less desirable strategy.

During and before his tenure as HHS Secretary, he made statements suggesting measles vaccines have significant risks while questioning whether the benefits outweighed those risks in some contexts.”

Through his organization, Children’s Health Defense, he spent years publishing material that challenged the MMR vaccine’s effectiveness and public health value.”

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu: I need $12 billion
Trump: Approved

Elon Musk: SpaceX needs $4.16 billion
Trump: Approved

Jeff Bezos: Amazon needs $17.5 billion
Trump: Approved

Top 1%: We need a $1 trillion tax cut
Trump: Approved

Average Joe: My wife has cancer. Can we get Medicaid?
Trump: Denied

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

A plurality of the dumbest dumbfucks who ever dumbed put a rapist tv reality gameshow host back in the office he tried to steal and he put this bear dumping, whale decapitating, toilet coke snorting, brain worm killing, shit water swimming felcher in charge of our public health.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

😳 RFK Jr's epic CNN crashout 😳

Dana Bash pressed RFK Jr on Trump's culpability for mishandling covid and the misinformation he pushes about vaccines, and the segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog

Here's the full thing:

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up.

So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and independent fact-checks.

Here is a partial list of 86 lies:
1. He promised to bring prices down “starting on Day One.” Grocery prices remained high and continued rising.
2. After winning, he admitted that prices are very hard to bring down once they have gone up.
3. He said egg prices had fallen 93 percent. They had not fallen remotely close to 93 percent.
4. He said he inherited the highest inflation in American history. He inherited an annual inflation rate of 2.9 percent.
5. When corrected, he changed the claim to the worst inflation in 49 years. That was also false. Annual inflation reached 23.7 percent in 1920.
6. He said there was virtually no inflation during his first term. Consumer prices rose approximately 8 percent.
7. He repeatedly claimed he had already brought inflation down, including during periods when the annual inflation rate was higher than the 2.9 percent reported shortly before he took office.
8. He told Congress inflation was “plummeting.” Prices were still rising overall, including major household expenses such as housing, electricity and medical care.
9. He claimed to have secured $18 trillion in new investment.
10. He then raised the figure to $19.2 trillion.
11. Even the White House’s own tracker listed far less, and its total included multiyear pledges, purchasing agreements, previously announced projects and commitments that might never become actual US investment.
12. He said America was building more factories than ever.
13. He said factory construction was rising.
14. He said the country had achieved its highest growth ever. Manufacturing employment declined, factory-construction claims depended on cherry-picked categories, and economic growth was nowhere near a historical record.
15. He called the country he inherited a dead country. The US economy grew 2.8 percent in 2024, faster than every other major wealthy economy except Spain.
16. He says foreign countries pay his tariffs. American importers pay them and frequently pass the cost on to American consumers.
17. He said the evidence overwhelmingly showed consumers did not pay his tariffs. Economic studies found that American consumers and businesses absorbed nearly all their cost.
18. He said tariff revenue came with “no inflation.” Prices continued rising, and economic research found that the tariffs themselves increased costs for American consumers and businesses.
19. He repeatedly said drug prices were down 70, 80 or 90 percent. No broad measure of prescription-drug prices showed anything close to those reductions.
20. He said Medicaid was “left the same.” The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation would reduce federal Medicaid spending by roughly $930 billion over ten years.
21. He said Americans were “not going to feel any of it.” The Congressional Budget Office projected that the legislation would leave approximately 11.8 million more people uninsured.
22. He said the Medicaid changes touched only waste, fraud and abuse. Independent analyses found that the legislation reduced coverage and federal spending far beyond fraudulent claims.
23. He said he had eliminated taxes on Social Security. The law created a temporary deduction, unavailable to many beneficiaries, that expires after 2028. It did not abolish taxation of Social Security benefits.
24. He said taxes would rise 68 percent without his bill. No credible independent estimate came close to supporting that figure.
25. He then declared, “I’ve kept all my promises and much more.”
26. He publicly promised at least 53 times to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, or even before taking office.
