Karoline Leavitt: “The president will be taking a few weeks off because he won the war with Iran, solved inflation, eliminated the national debt, and gave everyone jobs and healthcare.”

When the Japanese live translation goes silent because the translators are too stunned to repeat your Pearl Harbor “joke” to the Japanese PM, you’ve officially reached a new level of diplomatic failure. Those seconds of silence were the most honest reaction of the day.

BREAKING: Workers at CBS are walking out. The unionized team that works CBS' streaming service are going on a 24 hour strike in New York and San Francisco. The walkout comes after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly imploded.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

The SAVE Act forces citizens to register in person, track down birth certificates or passports, take time off work, find childcare, and drive hours just to get on the rolls. Trump’s own commission didn’t find fraud. MAGA just wants fewer voters🤬

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

French President Emmanuel Macron says France would never take part in operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz: "We are not party to the conflict and therefore France will never take part in operations to open or liberate the Strait of Hormuz in the current context”

Because it’s already been litigated. 63 times. And Trump lost all 63.

Q: Can you give one example of fraud in a previous election that the SAVE America Act would stop? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we're not gonna litigate all that

Let’s be clear on what’s happening here. They’re trying to steal the next election and this is a smoking gun. GOP Senator Mike Lee sees polling that shows Dems gaining ground and the solution isn’t better ideas or better leadership. The solution is rushing to pass the SAVE Act. #SaveActTaxesVoting

Europe has rejected Trump's demand to help him with the Strait of Hormuz. "Europe has no interest in an open-ended war," EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas said. "This is not Europe's war, but Europe’s interests are directly at stake."

Donald was worried that attention on the Epstein files was the thing that was going to unravel his administration and his MAGA support. So he started a war with Iran. Be sort of ironic if that war with Iran *is* the thing that unravels his administration and his MAGA support.

New Dem ad just dropped

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

We’re finally respected around the world.” 🥴 Canada, Japan, and the UK want nothing to do with this, and public opinion is deeply negative across the board. Less popular than Iraq in 2003. That’s hard to do.

If Paramount can shell out billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, then they can pay their unionized CBS staff a fair wage. I stand with the CBS staff who walked out today as they fight these corporate giants for essential protections and fair contracts.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Bessent: "That was always in our planning -- the chance that the US Navy or perhaps an international coalition will be escorting tankers through. There are tankers coming through now. We know that they have not mined the Straits."

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

DOGE canceled research grants because they mentioned LGBTQ. The person making the call had no experience reviewing grants and admitted no research informed the decision. And this is the incompetence making federal funding decisions. #SheShed #Voices4Victory

Popular podcast host Allison Gill consistently warned about war with Iran leading up to the 2024 election and never endorsed Donald Trump.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle. "That's just how it is."

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN. How do you think this all ends, folks?

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
