Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”

Can’t believe the GOP is redistricting the entire country just to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Tennessee has released their new redistricting map.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

“There is really good reason to think that any savings from rolling back all of these pollution limits would be more than offset by the higher cost of medical bills and lost productivity from people getting sicker and dying earlier.” RFK Jr. is on board with it, too.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.” This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

America vs. the World
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.
