Start time delayed by over 30 minutes by weather.
When you're an angry person so you yell at the sky a lot.
This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline.
Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸

I'm blown away by this EXCELLENT piece of @CNN reporting. This journalist @katie_polglase demonstrates how to conduct interviews with Epstein associates. She had this guy sweating, because she did her homework. Bravo. (Worth getting through the ad to watch.)...cnn.com/2026/06/11/world/vid…

You will never be a billionaire by working hard - let alone trillionaire.
Go out and get a $400K/year job. Work every day, no sick days off - from the day of the birth of Jesus Christ, to the present day, now in 2026 - over 2000 years.
You still won't be a billionaire.

A few years ago, I wrote a poem "Kill the Trillionaires".
It expresses my opposition to the gross distortion of all of our lives resulting from the massing of wealth.
At the time, there were no trillionaires. But I won't be posting it anymore.

Shocker, to those who have never heard of Donald Trump.

Despite insisting that a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been scrapped, the administration is quietly assuring allies that payout plans remain on track, @S_Fitzpatrick reports. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

A succinct - and brilliant - demonstration of how different people see America differently. Some, it’s a diverse Constitutional republic. Others, it’s an Authoritarian White Nationalist project - which I loathe.

We loathed Obama like you loathed Trump.
Except we loathed Obama because he loathed America.
You loathe Trump because you loathe America.

I wonder if you asked 10,000 Americans what the cost of a 2L bottle of Coca-Cola is, what the distribution of guesses would look like.
Yes, yes, I know by the Central Limit Theorem, it will be normal; I mean *before* that.

Trump also told me its an open question whether Netanyahu will run for re-election, wondering, “If Bibi even wants to continue."
"I don't know, he's had an amazing career. Does he want to continue? Because, you know he's a wartime prime minister. We will very shortly win the war one way or the other, and you know he's a wartime prime minister."
He continued: "That's okay, just like I'm a wartime president.”

Some drama on the floor.
The ICE and CBP bill is tied up 213-213 right now.
Reps. Kevin Kiley (I-Calif.) and Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) have voted no.
Vote hasnt been called yet. but 213-213 fails.
SCALISE is talking to Walberg now......

If you did that, you would be committing 3 major federal offenses - voter fraud, use of mail for fraud, fraud by communication across state lines. Which is why no one does that.
We don't need new laws.
You're lying when you say that voter fraud is changing election outcomes.
Yesterday, I received an official mail ballot at my Washington apartment for a woman I’ve never heard of.
I’ve rented this place since I got elected OVER A YEAR AGO.
All anyone would need to do is fill it out, sign it, and send it back.
Democrats are stealing elections every day.
PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

The first amendment I offered in today’s vote-a-rama was to BLOCK Trump's MAGA slush fund forever.
With the whole country watching, Republicans chose to support this corrupt slush fund.
