BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number. 84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable. Think about that. Not 84% of Democrats. Not 84% of Republicans. 84% of Americans. The breakdown was even more striking: - 82% of Republicans - 80% of Independents - 90% of Democrats Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General. The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust. It's validating distrust that was already there. And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.

CNN aired a montage of Trump’s past claims that the U.S. was on the cusp of a deal with Iran, with Anderson Cooper noting that today’s announcement marks the 39th time he’s made a similar claim.

It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts. I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me: There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States. The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud. This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal: A presidential commission under President Donald Trump. The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena. Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government. State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud. Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems. Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud. Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud. What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud? Ask The Heritage Foundation. For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.” The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.” It covers elections going back nearly fifty years. That’s billions and billions of American votes. Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is: 1620. That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things: 1. Some individuals commit election fraud. 2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA. The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time. It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that. Stop trying to subvert our democracy. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Across America, strangers will high-five each other, group chats will erupt, dogs will wag at nothing. In DC, bartenders will ring bells. In Paris, a cigarette is lit. In Canada, someone will apologize for cheering. Democracy will exhale, kick off its shoes, and sit down.

No, gay people are not trying to force their lifestyle on you. You're thinking of Republicans.

Every fact is “fake news” Every protest is “paid agitators” Everything they don’t like is a “hoax” Every election they lose is “rigged” Imagine being so fucking weak and pathetic that you have to invent an alternate reality because you’re incapable of dealing with the truth.

Good to see @EmmanuelMacron and @bundeskanzler knows who comes out of downing street first.

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

Pete Hegseth's D-Day speech was a grotesque, ignorant, and idiotic desecration of the memory of every Allied soldier who stormed Normandy — nothing but pure American white supremacist stupidity. To stand at the graves of young men who gave their lives fighting an actual Nazi invasion and then equate desperate migrants in rubber boats with the Third Reich is beyond disrespectful — it's morally bankrupt, historically illiterate garbage. Those heroes liberated Europe from the same kind of fascistic tyranny the authoritarian Trump regime is promoting in America, not from immigrants seeking a better life. Weaponizing their sacrifice for cheap far-right anti-immigration rhetoric dishonors their graves and exposes Hegseth as a comic-book nobody utterly deaf to history. Shame on him. Pure, self-important vulgarity.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP* Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are. • You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

🚨JB PRITZKER EMBARRASSES TRUMP: This is huge! JB Pritzker just BALANCED the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit. $0!!!!! The media won't tell you about Democratic accomplishments, so SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE: While Trump is cutting SNAP, Pritzker is helping families put food on the table. While Trump's Iran war is driving up energy costs, Illinois is pausing the gas tax increase. While Trump is building a ballroom, Illinois is funding schools, building housing, wiping out medical debt, and helping working families. That's what Democratic governing looks like. Pritzker is lowering costs. Trump is RAISING them.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Trump's frequent trips to Walter Reed raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.

BREAKING: Trump’s “PERFECT” health boast just collided with a cardiologist’s BRUTAL reality check. Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Monday afternoon that his six-month physical at Walter Reed checked out "PERFECTLY," complete with capital letters and an exclamation point. If that statement forced you to raise your eyebrows, you’re not alone. A leading Washington DC cardiologist immediately went on CNN and raised some serious questions that the White House has yet to answer credibly. Dr. Jonathan Reiner, director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at George Washington University Hospital and a professor of medicine, wasn't speculating. He was describing what millions of Americans have seen with their own eyes. Three things, he said, demand a credible explanation. First, the bruising. The White House attributed visible bruising to vigorous handshaking. "That is not credible," Reiner said flatly. Second, the ankle edema. Trump's legs show severe swelling. The White House has called it "chronic venous insufficiency" — but just one year ago, his physical showed no edema whatsoever. "That would make it acute venous insufficiency," Reiner explained, "which is an entirely different thing." The distinction matters medically, and the explanation doesn't hold up. Third — and most alarming — the daytime somnolence. Trump falls asleep. Repeatedly. In the Oval Office, with people talking to him. In the Cabinet Room. And yesterday, there was visible concern that he may have fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day services, while honoring America's fallen. Reiner wasn't dismissive about what this means. Chronic sleep deprivation and severe daytime sleepiness in older patients, he explained, is associated with increased risk of dementia, cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, heart attack, and congestive heart failure. "It's equivalent to increasing your age by about three and a half years," he said. The president of the United States — the man with his finger on the nuclear button, currently overseeing an active, albeit undeclared and constitutionally illegal, war with Iran — appears to be struggling to stay awake during the day. And the official explanations for his visible symptoms don't hold up to basic medical scrutiny. Trump posted "PERFECT" in all caps. But the bruising is visible. The ankle swelling is visible. The falling asleep is visible. Americans deserve a transparent, credible accounting of the president's health — not a Truth Social post and a wave goodbye. Please like and share this post everywhere
