Hey folks. This is a lie. I've never proposed a hurricane tax. In fact, my plan repeals the hurricane tax Byron plans to continue.

Never trust a liar.

Trump could ask the governor of South Dakota, but then the governor would have to get permission from the Lakota Nation. Because we still OWN the Paha Sapa, Black Hills.

It’s gonna be wild when people figure out this is the same agreement we’ve had with Greenland forever

My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be!

For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself.

We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Kennedy Memorial is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy.

Matisse tapestries found throughout were gifted from France.

The massive starburst chandelier in the Opera Hall, and lights along walkways, were a gift from Sweden.

The record-breaking stage curtains were a gift from Japan. They had to build special looms to weave them because of how big they are.

The grounds are beautiful with displays of art.

This is what Trump is destroying.

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war.

High school requires girls to disclose their menstrual cycle—or lose a grade.

Parents must send a note in writing to gym teacher with "suspected length of their cycle."

If female student does not participate—it will result in "loss of points toward final grade."

Students who bring in the required note from their parents will then be required to complete "dry land" exercises—to make up for the missed swimming.

"For sure against privacy for the young ladies that are going to class," said a parent.

"And they shouldn't have a grade reduction."

Lakeview High School says they plan to "engage parents in a conversation" about the new policy.

The school is located in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.

This teen boy has now been in an internment camp for 165 days. His birthday is coming up. He has been accused of no crime, was here legally, and has no deportation order. Just indefinite detention at the discretion of Marco Rubio.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually
great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this.

It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership.

Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump’s DOJ issued a felony indictment over this.

The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool told Trump errors in their work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose.

My Lord.

@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.

Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.

One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.

Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.

Really says it all.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

On a flight from Boston to Phoenix and this note was in my seat when I returned from the restroom. I think this shows how much an entire generation is struggling. Whether it’s my own kids or a random person on a random flight, young people are frustrated. There is massive anxiety and uncertainty about the future. This government hasn’t done jack shit for hardworking young Americans who have done everything right…..but if you are a billionaire with a big stock portfolio and a bigger tax cut, Trump’s "Golden Age" has arrived.

Hello, Twitter.

We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become.

If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It's even worse than you thought.
