An egregious scheme to profit off the presidency and enrich Wall Street while doing nothing to help Americans.

Sen. Alsobrooks tells Vought "I have been waiting for the opportunity to come face to face with you" and repeatedly calls his actions "depraved" and "evil"

Warnock: "Look at this from a common sense perspective. I won two elections -- in '21 and '22. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican, so are you saying that on the same ballots that elected my R colleagues, their ballots are legit and the ballots that elected Ossoff & myself are not?"

Just want to say that @jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book on the wrong candidate’s dementia and that should be obvious to every American.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

The federal immigration agent who shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford has been identified as David Michael Brouillette. Brouillette, who is 37 and lives in Manchester, was identified by an ex-wife as the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

This is quite clearly a total lie. The story quotes a "draft press release." This is why we meed to support independent pro-democracy media rather than the stenographers for the administration. Begin by subscribing to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

DHS says it found thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls in four states

The only thing Trump’s document dump proved tonight was that there was Russian collusion. That’s fucking hilarious to me.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

The only election interference happening in this country is coming straight from the White House, and no amount of pathetic late night rambling from a failing, fading president will change anyone’s mind

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

"World's most Famous Sore Loser"

Ooh, Burn!

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”

Trump’s shocking “bombshells” about China are totally bogus. The fact is our intelligence agencies unanimously agreed that China did not even try to change a single vote in the 2020 election.

Watching the bullshit. Not one shred of evidence of vote manipulation. Same shit we've already heard over and over.

It's important to step back for a moment to realize that the duly elected President of the United States is doing a prime time White House address claiming that his country has the most corrupt election system in the world

This speech is quite literally an impeachable offense. The President is trying to undermine faith in US elections and to delegitimize the elections of public officials.

this is the fox news version of "he's fucking lying"

"Fox News has not seen the evidence yet and is not in a position to evaluate the accuracy of the president's statement and claims"

He feels cornered. He sees what will happen when we take back power, so he’s lashing out the only way he knows how.   Election conspiracy theories didn’t save him in 2020. They won’t save him in 2026.

Anyone else find it suspicious that the White House is releasing a bunch of “newly discovered” findings concerning the 2020 election weeks after they conducted mass firings of career intelligence officers? 🙋‍♀️

Well folks, as expected, Trump revealed essentially nothing new. His speech was just lies & long-debunked conspiracies about the 2020 election. This is all just a prelude to interfere in our midterms — don’t fall for it.

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

one of the supposedly damning docs the White House released tonight says Russia tried to undermine BIDEN. Also says China "prefers that President Trump be defeated" but actually "Beijing did not intend to try to affect the election" (!)

Trump's speech tonight was a 5-alarm fire for our democracy, our Constitution, and our country. No matter your political party, we must stand together for our democracy & fight back against this attempt to undermine it. No Kings.

President Trump’s blatant disregard for the will of the American people was on full display during tonight’s speech. His sweeping, recycled claims are an attempt to undermine previous results and sow chaos into our current election processes.

Tonight seems to be the ceremonial kickoff of President Trump’s campaign to interfere in the November election. Trump has badly lost independent voters, even MAGA is disheartened; he is failing and unpopular, and he’s dragging his party down with him in the midterms.

Minnesota will always protect your right to vote. We will continue to have the freest and fairest elections, and we will continue to lead the nation in voter turnout.

Ossoff: "Tonight I heard a failed president desperately casting out for excuses to meddle in the upcoming election if he can, or to discredit the result when he loses decisively as I expect he will"
