Trump: We are having the most successful eight months of any president ever. And that's what I want to talk about. That's what we should be talking about. Not the Epstein hoax.
REPORTER: On Epstein, is the DOJ protecting any friends or donors, sir? TRUMP: So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. It reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation ... we should talk about the greatness of our country
REPORTER: Why were the 11 men on the boat killed instead of taken into custody? TRUMP: On the boat you have massive amounts of drugs. Everybody fully understands that.
Trump says the Epstein victims are pushing a hoax and what they have to say is irrelevant. Proud day to be a Republican! bsky.app/profile/acyn...
It appears any effort to inform Republican voters about developments in the Epstein story will run up against the reality that their preferred news providers have dropped the story at Trump’s insistence. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/don...
the hand-picked crew behind him can't even pretend to pick up what this cartoon character is laying down
Alabama allows mail-in voting, too. 🤔
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
no.
Giuliani's medal. womp womp
perhaps...but pushing back on a claim that the DNC is now trying to convince Mills to run as reactionary due to this sudden emergence of a "less moderate"/"more progressive" candidate is totally warranted here imo
"According to CNN, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York has personally spoken with Mills about the race." far from even a potential endorsement
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
Fake Trump talks about trade policy. Real Trump talks about crowd sizes, hamburgers, and toilets that don’t flush.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
Tapper face.
'runs'
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Every single day the head of a national publication or cable network looks at this batshit insanity and just shrugs.
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
Trump says that DC having a week with no homicides was something that happened "for the first time in memory." The last time that happened was March, where there was a 16-day streak without a homicide.
It’s probably just a coincidence that Bolton’s home was raided on the day some of the Epstein files are due to finally be released to Congress. Is this that lawfare I keep hearing about?
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.
Trump claims his militarized takeover of DC has made people feel safer to go out to restaurants, but in fact restaurants in DC have seen the number of diners plummet more than 25% since he sent feds into the street. @jordanonrecord.bsky.social www.wusa9.com/article/news...
MAGA Media’s praise for Trump’s disastrous meeting with Putin shows it’s about propping up Trump and spinning his failures—no matter what. More in Status: www.status.news/p/trump-puti...
Yesterdays summit was a failure for Trump & America. While most are using this to make fun of Trump, I will not do that. Instead, this failure and how it continues to weaken America, should be blamed on the ENABLERS who continue to support what he is doing to hurt America.
I think an important thing for the nation is to know how many teenagers the President has raped
Remember, #MAGA Christians: Evil mass killer Putin gets a red carpet & unearned hero's welcome. His victim, our ally, is smeared & mocked for his attire; as Trump rewards Putin w/stolen land. Bc y'all found a messiah you prefer to Jesus, and this is the creed you've chosen.
Not only is this fucking embarrassing, I can’t imagine how much counterintelligence work is going to be required after this trip. Having a hostile head of state in the presidential limo is *insane*
US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.
Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right. This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.
Trump’s gutting of USAID will kill 15m of the poorest people in the world. He has turned the military on his own people, thrown innocent people into foreign gulags, fan boys Putin and supports Bibi’s inhumane assault on Gaza. Few recent world leaders have deserved the Nobel Peace Prize less.
Late last night at Union Station — via @flareusa.bsky.social ATF. FBI. DEA. Homeland Security. ICE. CBP. Police. A full-blown show of force under the President’s so-called “surge.” This isn’t safety — it’s intimidation. A smokescreen to bury the Epstein Files & takeover the country.
ICE isn’t going after violent criminals, they’re hunting down innocent people, including US citizens, based solely on the color of their skin. It’s vile and racist AF, but so on brand for Trump’s administration. These thugs aren’t wearing white hoods, but they might as well. ICE is the new klan.
What do you mean—the guy who didn’t pay his contractors, was convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying business records, and is grifting Americans about how great the economy is (it’s not)—canceled the $50K ICE sign-on bonuses and ended the $200-per-detainee incentive?
It's insane how this administration is shaking down colleges for admitting too many students of color by citing alleged racial discrimination while simultaneously petitioning the Supreme Court to allow them to profile and detain anyone with skin darker than mayonnaise.
Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable. By February, some golden urns on the mantle. April, gold adornments appear on the walls. By July, it's gold everywhere. Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.
I’m becoming convinced that the reason they keep making the White House look like Mar-a-Lago is that he’s slowly losing his memory and they keep trying to put him in places that seem familiar.
If Hegseth is “proud of our history,” why has the military systematically erased the contributions of women and minorities from the DoD website and prevented any celebration of them?
THIS🚨👇🤬🤬🤬🤬👇🚨
And yet the same poll has the 2026 generic congressional ballot at D+3, so that high disapproval is coming entirely from partisan Democrats themselves. If you've ever wanted to challenge an ineffective Democratic incumbent, you're not going to have a better opportunity than next year.
The way you square low party favorables with an okay generic ballot and very strong special election performance is that the Democratic base is ready to crawl over broken glass to oppose Republicans and furious at party leadership for not feeling the same.
is this "he's playing golf" angle working? serious question. because attacking him because he plays golf and may have dementia seem like clearly losing strategies for us
no no no, we'd much rather point out that he's playing golf and that he may have dementia... we deserve all of this.
this could be seen from outerspace
nice try.
he may or may not have dementia. attacking him for it, when there is an unprecedented smorgasbord of wrongdoing to continue to expose and examine, is a typical dumbfuck strategy. also, falling asleep isn't a sign of dementia...you archetypal dumbfuck. do. better.
what did I assume?
fuck. you. OBVIOUSLY, you know no one with dementia. he's a lying enigma. hard stop. dementia is not a toy to be played with. do better asshole.
TRUMP JULY 15: "A very quick briefing, yeah." TRUMP JULY 25: "No, I was never briefed. No."
Oh hello there! Just sitting here really beyond pleased that Donald Jr reminded us that those who do not release the Epstein files are SCUM! I absolutely agree and appreciate his candor
i'm not sure who needs to hear this, but we're beyond fucked if we're counting on anything changing based the "Sunday Shows"
So, did Pam Bondi lie back in February on Fox News when she said Epstein’s List was on her desk and would be released? Or is she lying now, when she says there is no Epstein’s List? Or is she lying both times? Nothing that comes out of this Administration can be believed.
early stages of the Whitehouse Grounds UFC undercard
I obsess over the NYT because they normalize fascism while setting the agenda for Corporate News, while maintaining legitimacy with Democrats & independents, which makes them uniquely dangerous to US.
THIS. THIS. THIS...
that's helpful.
hmmmmm. but we rallied behind GA for some reason if memory serves...resulted in a Senate majority at the time, but let's just post Bugs Bunny memes about FL assholes. keep pointing your useless fingers. (this is why the left can't win elections btw)
Every member of congress who votes for this reconciliation bill will be voting to cut Medicaid coverage and food assistance for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. The impact of this vote would be devastating — and it will be on them.
trash
so, you, today, support Mamdami for POTUS?
be nice to think the reference was just to the fetid SWAMPS and not to Florida...it's not do better. please. no place for blanket Florida hate. FL swings back in '28 w/party support, but ya'll go ahead and keep posting those Bugs Bunny memes 🤡 you're just in a different cult...shame shame
The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
this can be seen from outerspace... but, thanks.
CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

This was….five months ago
Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.
What happened in Wisconsin is an example of what is most feared: That in a true democracy regular people have more power than a billionaire, that all the money in the world doesn’t change one person one vote.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
How is this legal?
She wrote a fucking op-ed.
'm not watching MSM anymore but they better not be normalizing the BIG LIE that the leaked war plans was some kind of "Witch-hunt" and a "hoax." This piece of shit needs to be called out on his shit.
I for one will never forgive or forget the people who ordered this - nor the people who voted for this.
by. design.
Mass shootings on a daily basis w 1000s being killed mostly schoolchildren-NOT domestic terrorism. J6 rioters overthrowing an election assaulting cops/ppl dying/a Capitol burned/destroyed w 1000s @ risk NOT domestic terrorism. Vandalizing Tesla locations w property damage only IS domestic terrorism
A 61-year-old man was shot and killed in a Texas McDonalds on Monday while he was picking up Happy Meals for his grandchildren, but you probably didn’t hear about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.
Folks, this isn’t about crippling “the left”. This is about crippling any American who dares to object or oppose him, by labeling them “the left”.
It was cloudy and I missed the eclipse the other day. But a different one happened this weekend. As @schumer.senate.gov gave up a bunch of the rest of us got louder. It could be we needed to see his weakness in order to recognize our strength.
Auchincloss on Fox News Sunday: "This economy is inflationary right now...you know what the GOP response is? Their response is, 'Well, get ready for a rocky ride & by the way, we're gonna give tax cuts to the top 20% of earners & pay for it by taking away healthcare from people who need healthcare'"
1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.
That is a word he has used mostly for women.
This is Chuck. Chuck is selling a book. Chuck also has a full-time job. I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not. Don’t be like Chuck. And don’t buy Chuck’s book.
For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." Un-fucking-real.
“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.
sounds best on endless repeat.
F.T.W.
"There is only one force in the world that can bring peace unilaterally, at any moment: Russia. Putin can order his troops to leave Ukraine and end the war any minute he wants. But Putin doesn’t want peace, he wants Ukraine" kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...
You could just feel yesterday how much Trump sincerely wanted to stop people in Ukraine from being killed. You could tell that his only motivation is to stop the bloodshed. It really seemed like his main concern - not his ego, minerals, past grievances, or his love for Putin.
Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.
