Vivek just released a new ad with Acton’s estranged mother that cut out the part where she claimed Acton lied about living in a tent after proof came out that she did live in a tent, so basically the bitter old hag is now just saying Acton lied at 12 about being sexually abused.

REPORTER: "Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad?" TRUMP: "No. I don't care."

The Trump family has financial ties to a Russian oligarch close to Putin. That should alarm every single American. Why does this family keep cutting deals with foreign adversaries? Oversight Democrats are investigating, and we will get the truth.

“The secretive, close relationship between the son of a sitting U.S. President and a member of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s inner circle raises serious national security and public corruption concerns,” Rep. Robert Garcia wrote.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

"Mister Trump, there are still some MAGA voters who are stubbornly standing by you. Can you say something to alienate them too?"

For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president) When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point

It's crazy to me that this is not leading the New York Times, NBC News, CNN, etc. If you're that numb, maybe think about a field other than journalism.

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

Donald #Trump is a promoter of international alliances and a nation builder... but that nation is not #America and the alliances are not with the United States but among countries who are looking to reduce the influence of the US, but it's a slow process. The list is long and covers six continents.

Canada fought beside the U.S. in both World Wars, the Korean War, and Afghanistan. Their National War Memorial stands as a reminder of what that cost. You don't walk away from an alliance like this. I'll keep fighting to protect it.

Well, everyone…here’s your president. Aren't you proud? He has absolutely no empathy, and is mean spirited to the core. I hope when he dies, no former presidents and no representatives from foreign countries attend his funeral. He is vile.

It's just insane that the president tells absurd, easily disproven lies on a daily basis, and at this point we all just expect it.

Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has custom meals and a comfort puppy in prison. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick kept his job after lying about his ties to Epstein. Todd Blanche was OKd as AG after his Epstein files cover-up. Clearly, Republicans think the rape of children is no big deal.

Wonder if his recent FIFA gaff played a small role. He totally tipped his hand. 1 - The ref cheated & was doxxed. That ref is a pretty shady character. 2 - He coerced FIFA into reversing the call. 3 - We lost anyway & the Belgian players mocked him. Worse than when Stormy mocked his mushroom.

Vaccines work! 🧪💉

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

The anti-immigrant, Islamophobic hate film CITIZEN VIGILANTE is #1 on Amazon after the world's richest racist, Elon Musk, spent the weekend using his captured platform, Twitter, to promote it. The reason Germany banned it is because they fear, rightfully so, it will incite hate crimes and violence.

Washington turned public office into a money machine. They trade stocks, cash in on connections, disappear behind closed doors, and somehow leave office richer than when they got there. Meanwhile, the people footing the bill are told to just work harder. I’m done with that game.
