😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

While Republicans parade around Hillary Clinton, they should remember that it was Ghislaine Maxwell who wrote to Melania Trump calling her “sweet pea.” While Democrats are content with having accountability for everyone, Republicans seem to be using the Epstein files as a political football.

Last night’s “affordability” rally was a gift to the Democrats. Trump championed austerity and said tariffs are making farmers rich. Midterm ads will replay it nonstop. You will not find a single farmer who says they got rich from his tariff policy.

Trump is getting pushback left, right, and center from the public and the courts. The judge who ruled against Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Oregon was a Trump appointee. Even Republicans know this is a gross overreach. He’s pushing all the wrong buttons.

Get ready for this to happen when Trump deploys the Guard to Chicago.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Gavin Newsom is not imitating Trump. He is mocking him. He is holding up a mirror to what Trump does and how blind his supporters are to reality. From the 3 hour North Korean style cabinet meetings to all caps nonsense tweets. It’s all worthy of mockery.

This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true. Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority.

The American people did not elect Donald Trump to become the curator of the Smithsonian - they elected him to lower costs. We have to talk about the horrors of slavery for what they are. They already tried this with the Florida curriculum that taught the ‘benefits’ of slavery for black people.

Donald Trump’s argument that Democrats have failed to take care of blue cities does resonate with 80%+ of the American population. These are real 80/20 issues that the majority of Americans actually agree on. Whether Trump is telling the truth, however, is a different story.

Today, Mallory McMorrow shared with us her definition of the new American dream and why she’s running for Senate to make sure every American has an opportunity to succeed in our nation:

Despite what Trump claims, there’s no manufacturing boom—we’ve lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs in just the last month alone and the industry contracted at its fastest pace in the last nine months. The hundreds of billions in investment? Just an “intention”

I also didn’t hear outrage when Mike Johnson decided to clock out early, saying Congress wasn’t in session because he didn’t want to vote on releasing the Epstein files. If you’re going to blast people for bailing on their jobs, at least be equal opportunity about it.

ICE claims to be going into only tough spots, but the “tough” spots are court hearings and car washes. And now, ICE has a budget larger than the IDF. Despite all that, we are cutting food assistance, SNAP, and health care. It’s outrageous.

Heartbroken for Julia, Wesley, and the two officers taken too soon. Heroes, parents, neighbors—gone because a man with a documented mental illness still got a gun. We had an assault weapons ban. It worked. We can save lives. Doing nothing is a choice.

Trump has been creating these trade wars that have resulted in Americans paying more. Tariffs are taxes on Americans — consumers pay, not foreign companies. If they really helped, why are Trump and Josh Hawley now pushing rebate checks? Because voters feel the rising cost of living due to tariffs.

Get just a taste of this “golden age”: GM profits down 35%. Trump’s tariffs costing Stellantis hundreds of millions. Beef prices highest since the '80s. Trump’s approval hits a second-term low at 37%—only president beating him is himself from the first term.

This is such old news it's absurd we're still talking about it. The Epstein situation is a real problem for the administration and keeps getting worse—but bringing up Hillary’s emails again? Come on. It's preposterous.

Trump wants us focused on Hunter and 2016 distractions instead of this: 52% think we’re in a recession, 64% say the economy’s getting worse, 70% say Trump hasn’t done enough on prices, and 62% say his policies raise food costs. His approval? Just 42%. The Golden Age sucks.

When Hurricane Helene struck, I did not hear Republicans tell Donald Trump to stop spreading lies about the Biden Administration and the FEMA funds. Even a Republican Texas representative is admitting that more funding is needed.

Hope all the no votes just run away like Brian Fitzpatrick and they all have some staffer that's recording them running through the streets of DC trying to avoid Mike Johnson. Fabulous content opportunity. Night!

As we wait to see the fallout from operation midnight hammer it remains true that Trump is underwater in polling on every major issue, from the economy to immigration. He’s losing the message right now.

The idea that Trump adheres to deadlines is absolutely ludicrous. The man promised us a healthcare plan over 450 weeks ago. It's been infrastructure week since I was born. Russia sanctions are supposed to be coming in two weeks.

The Trump Administration set a fake quota for ICE arrests, and are now acting on it by causing chaos in Los Angeles. They’ve opened up a new frontier in immigration enforcement in America.

Donald Trump regularly does interviews and just simply says "I don't know." "Mr. President, do you have to follow the Constitution?" I don't know? Trump may be in front of you more than Biden, but all he's doing is spewing utter bullshit.

The courts are doing their best, but it would be nice if we had an administration that isn’t dead set on breaking the law for their own power grab.

If anyone has cognitive issues, it’s the man who thinks Joe Biden has “stage 9 cancer” and runs around telling everyone how he passed a cognitive test by remembering “person, man, TV.”

Guess Scott B told Trump we can’t win this one.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?
