While you struggle to afford groceries, Melania is planning a lavish state dinner this week for the leader of China, where Trump can regale him with stories about his ballroom, Qatari jet, helipad, triumphal arch, and brag about how much he’s scammed off crypto & insider trading.

A shocking win! Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh just rejected Missouri Republicans’ last-ditch attempt to force through Trump’s gerrymandered congressional map for the November midterms. That means the old 2022 map stays in place, and the GOP’s attempt to redraw

LISTEN TO THIS. Trump falsely claims that he was pulled from the rubble of the twin towers by firemen on Sept 11, 2001 Not "fake". Speaking live, on camera. Not "out of context". MAGA, please reply here why you think this is OK. Why are you not embarrassed and ashamed? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Every one of these states has flippable Senate or House races, and Trump’s trade war with Canada just gave Dems a boost. Voters are looking to punish Republicans in power, and GOP candidates are privately furious with Trump. #8WeeksToABlueWave

Ever known as a humble and modest man who’s notoriously reluctant to take credit for anything, much less brag, Donald J. Trump showed such admirable restraint and humility by never mentioning what a hero he was on 9/11—FOR 25 YEARS!

The biggest political obstacle in Texas is voter apathy. About HALF of voting-age Texans didn’t vote in 2024. Republicans won the votes cast, but they didn’t win a majority of voting-age Texans. Texas is red, but turnout is a HUGE part of that story. So let’s FLIP Texas. 🔥 #8WeeksToABlueWave
