After listening to the president’s rambling address, I want him to know that the SAVE America Act is going NOWHERE in the Senate. It belongs in the trash with the rest of Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories. America, use your vote & your voice to save our democracy. 🇺🇸

President Trump’s blatant disregard for the will of the American people was on full display during tonight’s speech. His sweeping, recycled claims are an attempt to undermine previous results and sow chaos into our current election processes.

Let’s be honest, if tonight’s speech proves one thing it is that the 25th Amendment was an empty exercise, a sad waste of ink.

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

Tonight, America and the world saw the most desperate and failing President in history propagating endless false stories in a failed attempt to convince people he is not the loser and incompetent fool that everyone now knows he is. I have to say it again, he is America's Shame! Bon nuit...

One thing is clear from Trump's speech: whoever was in charge during the 2020 election belongs nowhere near the presidency. That person sounds as corrupt as they come!

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.

This is a horrible, horrible man.

Casually threatening mass rapes

Maine ICE shooter has history of severe mental illness, multiple psych hospitalizations, mil PTSD, chronic violence agst at least two wives, and threats against mutiple family members and more. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-mus...

Timeline cleanse 😂

........is it over?

Feels like tonight was a turning point for many (not all, but many) mainstream media orgs. They knew in advance that Trump would spew lies, and they were ready with deep skepticism and thorough factchecks. Even Fox (for its own reasons ofc) was like “whoa fella” Good to see. Hope it keeps up.

Our election system isn’t compromised. Trump is just crazy.

Great work by Zachary Cohen at CNN.

Tonight seems to be the ceremonial kickoff of President Trump’s campaign to interfere in the November election. Trump has badly lost independent voters, even MAGA is disheartened; he is failing and unpopular, and he’s dragging his party down with him in the midterms.

Trump said in his speech tonight that seniors aren’t taxed for their Social Security, then why in the fuck am I and all other seniors still paying tax on our Social Security?? He’s such a lying asshole!

🍊🤡💩 started with zeal tonight to make Americans question the elections. That, I think, was the purpose of tonight's whining. He has 3 1/2 months to continue to lie over and over again. Tonight is the beginning of that project. I didn't watch the tyrant speak, but from what I can see so far,

That's the plan. If he were smarter he wouldn't be telegraphing it so obviously.

Ossoff: "Tonight I heard a failed president desperately casting out for excuses to meddle in the upcoming election if he can, or to discredit the result when he loses decisively as I expect he will"

OSSOFF: I heard a president who is, as always, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Although Trump speech was a predictable mash of recycled lies, one encouraging note was how little coverage it got. The major networks passed and some cable networks broadcast parts of it only to debunk them. @nytimes.com coverage was refreshingly straightforward, calling out the malarkey.

Ossoff: "We restore checks and balances by winning this election overwhelmingly"

What’s that amendment again? Oh, yeah 25!!!...🤔🤔🤔

This was the biggest threat to the 2020 election.

If Trump wins, it’s a fair election. If he loses, there was fraud. Does he realize the election he’s talking about happened under his watch as President? The only reason Trump is bringing this up now is to distract from the fact he’s failed to make Americans' lives better.

Just want to say that @jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book on the wrong candidate’s dementia and that should be obvious to every American.

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

Blanche is only meeting with Epstein survivors to get Tillis' vote. He doesn't give a shit about the Epstein survivors. If he did, the proper thing to do would be to release the Epstein files, investigate, and jail Epstein's co-conspirators.

The Blanche meeting with Epstein survivors went as expected. "Lip service", "deflating", "no real commitments", "a lot of diversions", and "it felt like he only had it because his hand was forced." www.rawstory.com/todd-blanche...

ICE officer who shot Colombian man in Maine has history of threatening behavior and mental illness, family and court documents say.

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."

CNN is NOT airing the Trump address live. They join ABC and NBC.

NYT nails it.

Pretty strong summary from election security expert and former Justice Department official (under both parties) David Becker about Trump’s speech tonight “This wasn’t new information”

Whoopsie daisy. 🤣😂🤣😂

CBS just cut away and dispelled all the lies. Total failure. Nobody cares.

The only thing Trump’s document dump proved tonight was that there was Russian collusion. That’s fucking hilarious to me.

Trump's latest election claims aren't really about 2020. They're about creating a pretext for what comes next. He's done this before: invent a crisis, then claim extraordinary powers to respond to it. This time, the target is your vote. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Well, that was ....something. Article about to drop. But that speech was not only bonkers, the documents prove, in some places, the OPPOSITE of what he's claiming.

I know things are heavy right now, and we have a lot of work to do. Voting is one important step we can take to make our voices heard, prove that we are still in this fight, and put a real check on this corrupt and cruel administration.

Because if the people vote in their numbers, Republicans will lose.

The president is scared of your power, and he wants you to believe your vote does not matter. He wants you to lose confidence in our electoral system so you stay home this November. He knows how discontent the American people are, and he wants to make sure that you do not vote.

Donald Trump and his administration have done nothing to bring down the cost of housing, health care, child care, food, or gas. Donald Trump and his administration got America into a war the people do not want. He is attempting to distract you from that reality.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. It is part of a larger agenda of conservatives trying to steal power from the people.

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

I tell ya, there's no President in American history that's been better at wasting its citizen's time and money than Trump.
