White House Clarifies That Trump Was Just Sending General Well Wishes To All Sex Traffickers


Navy vet who says he was injured in clash with federal officers in Portland tells @ABC he wants to use attention on him "to refocus this whole discussion back to Black Lives Matter." “If I had been a black veteran...do you think I would have gotten as much attention as I did?


We can't even leave the country


"Far from being the only one who can solve this biggest problem facing the country, Trump has proven to many people over these past few months that he was -- and is -- simply not the right person to lead America through this sort of crisis."


This virus is bigger than COVID-19: it has spread by Trump's laziness, ignorance, ineptitude, and cowardice. But he knows the solution: *he's* routinely tested. But we still don't have a national testing strategy, because he doesn't think we're worth the effort


Opinion | Four years ago, Trump said he alone could fix things. What isn’t worse now?


Fired Trumpist clown warns what Biden's American will look like by showing video of Trump's America


I feel so sorry for @KellyannePolls kids. When they grow up, when they go to college, these interviews with this wicked liar will follow and embarrass them through their entire lives. People have died because of this woman and the lies she has spread on television.


NEWS President Trump just said: Today I am announcing a "surge" of federal law enforcement into American cities. Trump says the authorities will be aimed at "radical" movement. Note: Means more federal authorities taking to streets as part of a DOJ/DHS push against protests.


Tucker Carlson And Sean Hannity Accused Of Sexual Misconduct


AG Barr says the authorities going into U.S. cities as part of "Operation Legend" will be different than the type of officials policing protests in Portland. He says they will be FBI, DEA, & ATF investigators. Local leaders who are opposed to this move say it is unnecessary.


Today is day 470 without a Senate-confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security. There has *never* been a longer vacancy in *any* Cabinet position. And there hasn't even been a nominee at any point during that time—even though the President's party controls the Senate. That's nuts.


Philadelphia's Top Prosecutor Is Prepared to Arrest Federal Agents After Trump said he would send agents to more cities, Philly’s district attorney lays out how he might criminally charge federal officers.


Attorney General William P. Barr Joins President Donald J. Trump to Announce Expansion of Operation Legend Originally launched in Kansas City, MO., additional cities include Chicago and Albuquerque


To All Federal Agencies and Officers. The US Military did the right thing and Stood up for We The People. trumpf is trying the same with you, Divide you like He has Portland City Hall. You are making big mistakes. The Pentagon Stands with the Constitution, Do You STAND DOWN!!!


Opinion: Supporting Trump keeps getting harder for swing state Republicans


I pray to God that the protesters don't take Trump's bait.


Don’t succumb to outrage fatigue.

Just want it to be known that 113 Republicans just voted to keep Confederate monuments in the Capitol. They failed though, just like the Confederacy.


Claiming that Ghislaine Maxwell is a victim of "woke politics" is a very weird hill to die on.


$600 in weekly unemployment benefits EXPIRES THIS WEEK.🚨 Unless we #ExtendUI NOW, 30 million people will lose the lifeline allowing them to keep paying their bills. We can’t turn our backs on the Americans who have been hit hardest by this pandemic.

Nancy Pelosi is now calling the coronavirus the 'Trump virus.' "A briefing on the coronavirus should be about science and that is something that the president has ignored ... I think a good deal of what we have suffered is clearly the Trump virus."

:I'm on the Floor to demand the Senate take up our amendment ending the use of Trump's secret police in Portland & across the country. Dictators use secret police, not leaders of a Democratic Republic. This has to stop, & it has to stop now

Dear WH Press Corps, You’re becoming the story. I need to know why none of you will ask donald directly about the Russian bounties. Are you threatened with removal? Is Hamburger Huckabee gonna dress in leather & show up at your house to terrify your inner child? What’s going on?


I’ll believe that Marco Rubio supports human rights in Hong Kong when he starts supporting human rights in the United States.

Mike Pompeo - SAME!

Pardon dangled


Donald Trump says he feels comfortable being around people without a mask because he has been tested, as well as everyone around him. And yet, he has abandoned national testing. So, Americans will never enjoy the same comfort.


Not a single question about Putin paying to kill American soldiers. Not one question.


Pardon me? — Preet Bharara


Trump is trying so hard to not be crazy.


So are child support arrears with compounding interest and attorney fees.


NEW VIDEO Heroes fight for America. Trump fights against it. Please retweet far and wide.


An anatomy of this briefing in one tweet


I can think of four times when Trump has publicly extended his best wishes to people charged with federal crimes by DOJ: Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort — and now Ghislaine Maxwell.


Thread:. @ebonybowden a NY Post reporter wrote a hit piece about @ProjectLincoln this morning. It described me as an inactive voter in Utah. I voted by mail in 2016 and 2018. I switched my reg to independent in the Summer of 18. I am disturbed to learn this information and am looking


Seems to me that a Trump pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell would constitute a de facto confession that yes, the rumors about him raping the underage girl(s) at his buddy Jeffrey Epstein's place are true.


Wishing a sexual predator well. I guess they don’t eat there own.


One would hope there’s some soul searching going on in this country: ‘am I as fucking stupid as Trump thinks I am?’


I believe it. He once had Ronny Jackson inject a heavy dose of penicillin into my butt cheek on Air Force One because I cleared my throat and he thought I was getting sick. — Anthony Scaramucci

With his voice breaking, an irate Mark Morgan says he is "disgusted" by Nancy Pelosi calling his agents "stormtroopers" for their brutal and sometimes illegal conduct in Portland.


We will permanently suspend accounts Tweeting about these topics that we know are engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension — something we’ve seen more of in recent weeks.

Susan Rice on situation in Portland: "It's an abuse of power by President Trump, and it's a purely politically motivated abuse of power. He's sagging in the polls. He thinks the only way to rally his base is through racism and touting law and order."


BREAKING: Twitter says it has begun taking sweeping actions to limit the reach of QAnon content and banned many of the conspiracy theory's followers due to ongoing problems with harassment and the dissemination of misinformation.


Leadership matters


Twitter bans 7,000 QAnon accounts, limits 150,000 others as part of broad crackdown


So apparently we are now living out the movie “Minority Report,” which if you haven’t seen is a (not good) 2002 Tom Cruise movie where people who are going to commit crimes in the future get arrested (they get their info from three psychics who lie in some kind of swimming pool)


Roger Stone is free while a 15 year old Black girl remains incarcerated in a pandemic for not doing her homework. This is an absolute miscarriage of justice.


Liz Cheney accused me of treason, helpfully bolstering President Trump three days after he made the same accusation. Of course, even Bill Barr had to admit we hadn’t committed treason, “in the legal sense.” (As if there’s another one)


Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott wants schools open, but said on Fox Business Network today that his grandchildren won't be attending. They will be distance learning. Every elected official who supports opening schools should be asked this same question.


Where you go one, you get banned


"The ambassador’s deputy, Lewis A. Lukens, advised him not to do it, warning that it would be an unethical use of the presidency for private gain, these people said. But Mr. Johnson apparently felt pressured to try."


Senator Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, give billion-dollar tax cuts to big corporations, and jeopardize health care for thousands of Mainers. She has changed, and she isn’t standing up for Mainers—which is why we need to defeat her in November:


Cuccinelli, when cornered by @ChrisCuomo about DHS acting on the orders of the president: “You are equating his specific words to everything we’re doing. And that is not the case.” What the actual hell does that mean? That DHS isn’t following Ttump’s actual, you know, “words?”


Trump says of Jeffrey Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell: "I wish her well"


How did Russia snare us both at once?


The @ProjectLincoln ads: Trump is the worst president in history and a despicable person. Trump Media: I hear some of your guys might have had tax troubles. Maybe the IRS and DOJ should check you out. But sure, the *left's* thugs are the problem.


How to cognitive


The Covid death rate in the US is five times the global average and one of the highest in the world. Our schools and our economy will not be able to recover until we get the virus under control.


Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man.

Home health workers do God’s work, but aren’t paid much. They have few benefits, and 40% are still on SNAP or Medicaid. It's unacceptable. I'll give caregivers and early childhood educators a much-needed raise.


It has been an exhausting four years for civil rights lawyers, but a challenge to Trump’s latest assault on the law will be an easy victory. Constitution requires census to count “persons,” not “citizens.”


.@PressSec: "I think in many cases the media has tried to scare the American people." Note: There are more than 3.8 million coronavirus cases in the United States and more than 140,900 Americans have died from COVID-19. The facts are scary all on their own.

Portland ain’t fucking around


Trumpers are upset about QAnon accounts being banned because they needed that grift to keep going at least through election day. Trump still needs their votes, and they're basically the only people excited about the idea of a second term. Well, other than the people paid to be.

A much larger shield line formed up facing the federal police skirmish line. It proved quite effective against resisting munitions used. Federal police was unable to push the crowd off Lownsdale Square Park today.


OMG, Trump's little toy Nazi thinks his stormtroopers have established a beachhead in Portland as they begin their invasion of the United States of America! He doesn't want to give up hard fought ground. Harry S Truman would slap the shit out of this pathetic weasel!
