Republicans distancing themselves from Trump ahead of the midterms is the same as an asshole trying to suck a fart back in. 🍑💨 It can't be done. The stench of Trump lingers—literally. *sips*🔥☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Trump-endorsed candidates are scrubbing him from websites and breaking with him on Iran. His grip on the GOP is slipping, but it's not gone yet.

So let me get this straight: Eric Schmitt saw the Jack Smith texts, knew they weren’t real and used them anyway to push lies and attack Smith. Deliberate deception! Chose to lie… they don't care about facts…only care about power and are all a threat to democracy. #USDemocracy
