Once again Trump’s DOJ spends tax dollars to sue another state. The constitution makes it abundantly clear that states shall monitor and count their own votes. Funny how they never ask for an ID to take 37% of your income tax.

abc7.comAppeals court declines to rule on federal bid to set aside California ballots of alleged noncitizensAn appeals court declined to rule on whether California elections officials can count roughly 20,000 ballots that the Justice Department alleges belong to noncitizen voters.

If Trump cared so much about voter fraud he would use ICE to help collect votes, not to intimidate people from voting. The guy literately wants you to get a whole separate ID just to vote. When has adding more bureaucracy made things easier, answer that! Registration requirements already exist.

OBAMA: That just feels a little bit different… where people are so sick and tired of being sick and tired. After 2 years of chaos. and cruelty. and corruption. and incompetence—you get a chance to say enough's enough.

Trump has convinced his cult to ignore an affordability crisis. That it’s a made-up word, so much so, that he even managed to sell them $25 worth of coins with his face on them for $65. High prices won’t change these people’s minds. They’ve been thoroughly groomed to prop up the rich.

During his campaign events Trump claims prices are way down, he’s been in office for nearly two years.

this answer about what issues matter to him from a college student waiting in line at the Trump rally wasn't what the Fox correspondent expected to hear. She moved on with swiftness

1/3 of voters literally voted for an asshole that gave them a $30 dollar tax break, while he gave millionaires $Million dollar tax breaks. Guess which one is adding more to the debt and deterioration of our society.

How in the world are we even in a place where Republicans are polling almost as good as democrats. Inflation is out of control, wars are ongoing, food is not safe to eat, and the cost if living is almost out if reach. Republicans have created this in just two years. Why would anyone vote for them.

DHS reports over 600,000 deportations. Trump reports more factory construction than ever before. Yet, job numbers are way, way down. The last time I checked MAGA claimed that immigrants were taking all the jobs.

The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing he called “deceitful and potentially criminal.”

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

During a CBS News town hall with Michigan voters, Vice President JD Vance said "I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself."

Taylor: He has turned the presidency into a side hustle. He has turned the White House into a deposit box for bribes, and he has turned your government into, forgive my words, a fucking ATM machine. So no, we don't want his name on the buildings.

You know white nationalists are having a hard time seeing minorities in the town hall. They love that he says whites are being criticized and demonized because they’re white. We live in a majority white country, it’s almost impossible for white folks to be discriminated against.

JD Vance makes excuses for white nationalists: "When you demonize a guy because he's white, it's just as evil as when you demonize a guy because he's Black. When you demonize a guy because he's white ... some people will get radicalized into some very dangerous ideas."

JD and Trump funding ICE with millions of dollars to round up brown folks. Claiming brown illegal immigrants are taking jobs and benefits. Now that thousands have been deported, where are the jobs, and why have benefits decreased?

Q: Why are you scapegoating immigrants for the issues you're supposed to be solving as the vice president? JD VANCE: To the extent my rhetoric has been imperfect, that's on me

JD is as full of shit as Trump is in his town hall. Dokoupil: “it’s been a couple years, at some point it’s the Trump economy” JD: gives a random answer, dodging the question as to not offend Trump.

A car that floats by ejecting nitrogen gas is seen as a miracle of science by gaslighting crew. Not sure how this helps stagnant wages and high prices.

Trump: "Jon Ossoff has spent more money on makeup -- and by the way I wear very little and I do it myself. Yaaaaaaaaaaahhhh. Because if you don't put a little on, you look a little bit like a dead person. I don't want to look that way. But he goes full bore."
