BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election?

JUDGE TRAYNOR: This issue has become a question of political controversy. Justice Jackson--

BLUMENTHAL: It's 'political controversy' only because the president refuses to accept the results. I'm asking you as a matter of fact. Who won?

TRAYNOR: As Justice Jackson stated, it is not appropriate to engage in discussion regarding that

BLUMENTHAL: So you're going to use the same script that other nominees have used before this panel to avoid the question?

TRAYNOR: I think the precedent established by Justice Jackson ...

BLUMENTHAL: As a matter of fact, which presidential candidate got more votes in 2020?

TRAYNOR: As I stated before, this is an issue that Justice Jackson--

BLUMENTHAL: You're adopting a script that has been dictated to you by the White House

Dear @SecRollins: You keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs.

Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days. The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.

If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign.

In 2016, Trump was asked why he had repeatedly attacked the press.

His answer:

“I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.”

When someone tells you exactly who they are and exactly what they’re doing, pay attention. Believe them.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

This should be a career-ending scandal. But life under Trump is so hellish, it's not even front-page news.

Trump returns to NYC tonight for the Knicks game, a city he is banned from operating a business in because a judge found him liable for major financial fraud.

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.

Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

As Trump screamed "Comey was a dirty cop" during "Meet the Press" questions about Trump's Jan 6 lies....

We should note:

1) Comey wasn't employed by FBI on Jan 6, 2021
2) The FBI worked for Donald Trump on Jan 6, 2021
3) Trump launched the Jan 6 prosecutions on Jan 7, 2021

In the new interview, Trump told NBC that “I didn’t guarantee no war” and that “I didn’t promise anything.”

Not true.

There was often some nuance to his rhetoric on this subject. He repeatedly promised in 2024 to avoid “endless” wars or “world” wars (not specifically all wars) or boasted (without an explicit future promise) about not having started a new war in his first term. You can argue the nuance was lost on a lot of voters, or that boasting about not having started one is a de facto promise not to start one in the future, but the nuance frequently existed.

In other cases, though, he was categorical.

At an August 2024 rally in Pennsylvania, he promised, “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.” That month in North Carolina, he pledged, “No more wars.”

And here’s what he said in two of his highest-profile speeches. In his July 2024 address accepting the GOP nomination, he said, “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.” In his November 2024 victory address, he said, “I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.”

President Trump said he has no idea “where the hell” he got his “stat” that Black unemployment is doing better than ever before. That’s probably because the “stat” is fake. The Black unemployment rate is higher now than it was when Trump returned to office…in fact, higher than it was in each of the last 34 months of Biden’s term. https://t.co/r3BentdjF3

Enough is enough.

At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?

At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable?

He has been doing this his entire life.

In business.

In politics.

In the courts.

In the Epstein circle.

And now, as president of the United States, he uses the most powerful platform in the world to attack women who speak out, women who stand up, women who dare to tell the truth.

Look at what he is doing to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her — and instead of accountability, he keeps attacking. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon.

And that is exactly the point.

This is not just about insults. This is about control.

He takes away women’s rights.

He attacks women’s credibility.

He covers up the Epstein files.

He protects the powerful men while attacking the women who survived them.

He wants women silent. He wants survivors scared. He wants the country numb.

I’m asking a simple question:

When is enough finally enough?

When do we stand together and say no more?

No more letting the media normalize it.

No more letting politicians excuse it.

No more letting powerful men abuse women and then call themselves victims.

No more silence.

I am calling on this community — women, men, survivors, parents, citizens, everyone with a conscience — to stand together as one voice.

Protect women.

Believe survivors.

Demand the Epstein files.

Hold Trump accountable.

And stop supporting any media outlet, politician, or platform that continues to sanitize, excuse, or cover for this madness.

Because this is not politics anymore.

This is about basic decency.

This is about right and wrong.

This is about whether we are still willing to stand up for the women of this country against a man who has spent his life degrading them.

Enough is enough.

It is time to stand up.
It is time to speak out.
It is time to fight back together.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.
