Tulsi Gabbard: "Russia did not appear to have any preference for one candidate over the other." (Putin said publicly he was happy Trump won!)
Liar
Hannity asks Gabbard if the intelligence community rigged the 2020 election for Biden (Trump in fact was president in 2020)
Liars never give it up

An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed a baby girl and her parents on Saturday, Nasser hospital officials and witnesses said, while families of hostages called for a “nationwide day of stoppage” in Israel to express growing frustration over 22 months of war.
Israel outrageous
Trump thinks Putin is his friend. He's a moron.
Idiot being played 😡
The Trump administration's move to take control of the D.C. police department and appoint an emergency commissioner will "endanger public safety," Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said in a court filing Friday.
As Netanyahu starves Gaza, there is a whole new battle to be fought in Israel – against complacency | Aluf Benn
Disgusting dictator
Incredibly revealing moment here from Pirro. For a brief beat she is flummoxed and doesn't have any answer to the question... then, zero interest in preventing crime, only in performatively signaling how tough she is (for an audience of one)
War correspondents are protected by the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Journalists are considered civilians so they have all rights related to the civilians in a conflict. Nevertheless, 176 journalists have been targeted and killed in Gaza
Disgusting… All Israel
Leavitt: "The president is very honored and looks forward to hosting President Putin on American soil."
Putin knows that Trump is weak and easily manipulated. I fear Trump will emerge from their Ukraine meeting fully supporting Putin’s position.
Oh ya two traitors to their own countries
Just cruel
Leavitt confirms that monthly jobs reports may be suspended "until they can get the data and methodology in order"
She’s a little idiot
Traitor trumpie
Who needs to cook the books when you can disappear them?
Many of the details the president cited do not stand up to scrutiny. (via @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/4mjC4FY
Liar, liar
Leavitt says that Trump will imprison homeless people who refuse to go to shelters
They are heartless and cruel

Idiot
This is real life.
Disgusting

I think the clear playbook is to come up with a pretextual justification to federalize the national guard in every major US city and just have them never fully leave, like in Los Angeles
Disgusting traitor
This is just a straight up confession.
Freak speaks
-Schumer wouldn't advance Trump noms without an end to illegal withholding of federal funds,so Senate Rs left town -Trump couldn't do recess appointments because House Dems would force an Epstein vote if Rs returned to adjourn -Texas Dems fled the state to deny Rs a quorum Is our Democrats learning?
We must stand up to President Trump’s harmful economic policies, from his reckless tariffs to his continued immigration raids.
Where is the worthless GOP ??

New in PN: The looming Trump-cession "No administration in history has done so much so quickly to immiserate the American people. And no administration since Herbert Hoover’s seems less willing to change course as it barrels over a cliff."
Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"
So blame trumpie
President Donald Trump was fuming about the July jobs report signaling a significant slowdown in the economy when he recalled one of his simmering resentments: the statistician overseeing the tabulation of the monthly figures was appointed by former President Joe Biden.
Lies and divisions

Texas Democrats left the state Sunday in an attempt to prevent the state House from holding a vote Monday on new congressional maps that Republicans hope will net them several additional U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
This is the guy who knows what the real BLS numbers are.

We’re defying basic number theory at this point—riding roughshod over the intrinsic properties of integers.

Virginia Roberts was 16 and working at Trumps spa when Epstein “ stole” her and other girls. ( as Trump puts it). He claims that is what broke his close friendship with Epstein. Not the daily child rapes, but “stealing” girls or a girl from his spa
Disgusting… where’s the outrage maga and GOP. Let all this be their demise
BLITZER: Trump said that Epstein 'stole' young women who worked as employees at his Mar-a-Lago spa, including Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. What's your reaction to Trump's comments? REP. ERIC BURLISON: Trump did not visit Epstein island. I take him at his word for that.
BLITZER: Why hasn't the president explicitly said he won't pardon a convicted sex trafficker? REP. ERIC BURLISON: I think he's keeping his powder dry
Stupid response 😡
Texas Republicans have released a plan to redraw congressional districts to try to gain five more US House seats in 2026. cnn.it/4mnhEeM
