Ossoff: "Hurricanes, diabetes, and gas leaks don't check party affiliation when they hit. And when it comes to serving Georgia, I don't either."

Ossoff: "Our whole government made a corrupt tool of one man's vengeance and power and wealth ... in one month, Athens, we will vote to rebuke him so decisively, no president will dare such abuses again for centuries!"

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

@snipy.bsky.social is highlighting the most catastrophic press failure of our time. #TrumpIsUnfit What legacy media leaders don't understand is they are enabling and complicit in America's descent into authoritarianism by normalizing, sane washing and democracy washing POTUS.

“Trump has always had a problem with the truth. Now that he’s increasingly detached from reality and completely surrounded by sycophants, his lies have gotten downright bizarre.”

Here's what I think about Trump's pledge to give everyone $5,000 if he wins the midterms: It's as real as Trump's promise to lower costs on Day 1. Check the receipts from Groundwork for the 15 times Trump promised Americans $$$. Remember the DOGE dividend?

Trump's 250-foot arch is twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe, and is set to go up in the sightline of Arlington National Cemetery. Our lawsuit is still unresolved in court, but the Trump admin is breaking ground anyway. Sacred ground doesn't get a vote, apparently. #CorruptTrumpRegime

NEWS: Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump, is publicly calling out his uncle’s lies about 9/11, saying Trump’s claim that he brought a crew of workers to Ground Zero “so offends me that I need to speak out.”

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X from Fred Trump (@FredTrump_) that reads:

“There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a “big building “ at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers- the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy- not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.

🤡 Jeanine Pirro puts on her clown suit 🤡 Pirro just held a presser to warn Americans about cryptocurrency fraud - never mind that her boss is one of the world's foremost crypto scammers - then had a series of performative meltdowns as reporters tried to ask her about the reflecting pool Supercut:

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

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Ruby Bridges, age 6Ruby Bridges flanked by three U.S. Marshals on the steps of her schoolNorman Rockwell’s painting depicting the event, “The Problem We All Live With,” originally published as a centerfold in the January 14, 1964 issue of Look magazine. Ruby Bridges talking with President Obama as they look at Rockwell’s painting while it was temporarily displayed at the White House in 2011.

The only reason that some people are demanding Mayor Mamdani skip the 9/11 ceremony is pure Islamophobia. Period.
