No less that 10 articles about Platner in the Hill. Republicans are great at destroying a person's credibility. I'd have been more likely to believe if it wasnt such an obvious hatchet job. I know everyone will jump all over me. But we have a president who was found guilty of rape.

Ald. Reilly has introduced an ordinance to give the stretch of Wabash Avenue, in Chicago, in front of Trump Tower an honorary designation honoring the former president — timed to the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. Asked whether that includes Trump’s building, Reilly answered: “Of course.”

President Donald Trump mentioned his disdain for communism multiple times in his July Fourth speech. His comments are the latest in a series ..." Did he think it was 1980 and he was Ronald Reagan?

National Mall evacuated as storms slam the District; Trump's speech and fireworks delayed. According to ABC news. Too bad.

I have read that apparently Trump syphoned off money Congress appointed for the original great American fair for his freedom fair and much of the money was diverted to Trump's and his cronies pockets. It was meant to launder money which is why they don't care if no one showed up.

"Republicans are criticizing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) after he suggested residents set their thermostats to 78 degrees to help conserve energy in the city as it braces for triple-digit temperatures this weekend." What nerve! Suggesting people should conserve energy.

"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is warning that Democrats are “taking out their own” by supporting democratic socialist candidates in primary races across the country." Its already starting and the Democrat dont even have more than a few Democratic Socialists running. We're doomed.

"Ocasio-Cortez — widely floated as a possible 2028 presidential or Senate hopeful — said the former health official “gives” the Democratic Party its best chance at winning the seat in the fall." Are the Democrats trying to lose? This isn't the answer to the far right fascist party.

"Sen. Warren (D-Mass.) is locked in a contest for influence with Senate Minority Leader Schumer (D-N.Y.) over the future of the Senate Democratic caucus as the two battle to shape the outcome in this year’s primaries." This is NOT a problem. I love that the Dems make room for everyone.

"President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said not enough “reasonable” Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) are there to save the Democratic Party from a takeover by socialists." Now we know Fetterman is a true Republican Trumpy.

"Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is offering a warning about the rise of a “dirtbag left” within the Democratic Party, a reference to candidates on the left who have run and won primaries while identifying themselves as democratic socialists." Why does this Senator call himself a Democrat?

"Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, on Sunday said her office would prosecute individuals caught vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after the Trump administration spent millions on renovations." Yes, sue the damn bacteria and algae!

So polls I've read say that Trump still has 36 to 38%. How is this possible. Who are these people.

WTF "Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Sunday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would “only” be deployed at polls during the midterms if a “threat” arises." WTF! I told people they are going to harass voters. Aholes!

From the Hill: "The deal with Iran is not complete but is three quarters of the way there and a signing should take place within the next few days, according to a senior Trump administration official." Haven't they been saying this everyday since the beginning.

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts. The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

In The Hill, "Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner went after Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Sunday during a town hall, calling the Pennsylvania senator “an a--hole.”" Good enough for me.

Who will continue to watch 60 Minutes after the takeover by Trump propagandists?

Senate Democrats and 3 Republicans Friday blocked a motion to begin debate on extending the nation's enhanced surveillance authorities, which are due to expire in a week, to protest Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. Except Fetterman.

The Hill. "This president is more laser focused and more dialed in on domestic issues here in the homeland than any president in memory,” [Mike] Johnson said. “He spends more time working on domestic issues in one day than Joe Biden did in four.” Yeah, Mike, no one believes that. Nice try.

Fighter Rejections: Former flyweight champions Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval publicly stated they had no interest in fighting on the card. Moreno indicated he would rather fight elsewhere, while Royval mentioned he would rather perform in front of traditional, relatable fans.

@repcohen.bsky.social Representative Cohen, Thank you for writing articles of impeachment against Justice Roberts. He is corrupt.

For 235 years, no Chief Justice of the United States has ever faced articles of impeachment. On Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen filed six of them against Chief Justice John Roberts. They won’t pass with this Republican Congress. But they are now permanent in the historical record.

The United States and Iran reached a tentative agreement on Thursday to extend the shaky ceasefire in the Middle East and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but President Trump’s approval remains pending, according to U.S. sources. Trump will sign it if he can a cut or a payoff.

From the Hill: A small band of House Democrats has formed a new group designed to combat corruption in Washington — a move that comes amid growing criticism that President Trump is abusing his powers for personal gain.

🔥 @repcohen.bsky.social : “Don’t tell me, John Roberts, The Supreme Court is not political. It is an arm of the White House. 🇺🇸 is being destroyed from within 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” #Memphis #JimCrow #RacistRedistricting

"AG Blanche signed off on a new provision as part of Trump’s “settlement” that FOREVER prohibits the IRS from investigating or prosecuting the president, his family, or businesses for pending tax claims, including a current audit that could have reportedly cost Trump more than $100 million" WTF!!!

From the Hil. The EPA will revise Biden administration-era technology and emissions that limit the type super-pollutants used in grocery refrigeration.

The Hill, "President Trump’s decision Tuesday to snub Sen. John Cornyn and endorse state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Republican primary was met with frustration, anger and even sadness by Senate Republicans." Aw kissing Trump's ass for years and yet not good enough.

From Fox News poll 83 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons. I wonder how many think the rioters should each receive a million taxpayer dollars. Although I doubt once Trump gets his hands on the 1.7 billion dollars from taxpayers, he will give any of it to the Jan 6 folks.

If you told me in 2021 after J6 that one day Trump would have a $1.776 billion slush fund of taxpayer $$ to hand out to his fellow insurrectionists who committed a heinous crime against America, I wouldn’t have believed it. But the story of Trump has always been a crime story with many accomplices.

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

Sad & #Unfollowed 🤮

Agree 💯% With Elizabeth Warren !

So you are going to start calling the State Department the "Imperialism department" then? Because it is more "honest?"

From the Hill, "President Trump late Thursday invoked his predecessor in attempting to explain comments by Chinese President Xi Jinping as the two leaders meet during a high-stakes visit, blaming former President Biden and his administration for the U.S.'s "decline." " He sounds like a 5 year old.

From the Hill, "Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton (Ariz.) cast doubt on the suggestion that China would place pressure on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing." Why would they? Trump should pull everyone out and say he won.

Contacting your representative. This from a survey of staffers. One phone call counts the way a hundred to a thousand angry voters count. One personal email counts the way ten to fifty voters count. One form letter counts for one voter. Contact your Senator and Rep. Your voice matters.

Many supporters view Trump's wealth accumulation as a sign of his success and business skill, often dismissing concerns raised by critics as partisan attacks. So they live from hand to mouth, but Trump uses his position to extort billions because people attack for dishonesty.

From the Hill. "Centrist Sen. John Fetterman is pouring water on speculation that he might switch parties by declaring that he’s a Democrat at his core and that he would be “a terrible Republican.” He is also a terrible Dem, too. But as long as he votes with them, he is an extra Republican seat.

It’s so hard to believe that a group of corrupt politicians, with an idiot front man, could destroy 250 years of sweat and tears that went into building a democracy in just a year!🥺🥲

Every American should be fighting MAD about this! Call your Senators and Congressmen!!

And, there you have it…👇 Trump has fucked up, BIGLY! Enjoy. 😎✨
