BREAKING—Judge grants temporary bar on U.S. agents in #Portland


Retweet and spread the word on #TrumpTheDisaster going up on TV. Thanks


Dear @realDonaldTrump: You said you will be throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game on August 15. The video below is an example of what you will see prior to your first pitch. These players and coaches understand America better than you do.


TRUMP: It's too dangerous to have our RNC Convention. But you better send your children back to school or I will defund their schools. EVERYONE: FUCK. THAT. SHIT.


America surpasses 4 million Covid-19 cases, the most in the world. The country added 1 million known cases in just 15 days


This is some devious shit. I hope I don’t have to remind people what party banned opposition parties to take control. Hint: it was in Germany


This is journalistic malpractice.


Can we invoke Article 5 against the green men invading American cities? Asking for a friend.


COVID-19 infections are going up. The number of deaths is going up. This morning it was announced that, once again, the number of unemployment claims is going up. Donald Trump is moving us backwards. The American people are paying the price.


BREAKING: DOJ Inspector General Horowitz has informed us that his office will initiate a review to examine DOJ’s use of force against peaceful protestors in Portland and the District of Columbia.


Bully Barr is weaponizing the Justice Department to retaliate against Trump’s enemies and help his cronies. Only judges are standing in the way of him succeeding because Congress won’t do its job. When is enough enough, @RepJerryNadler and @SpeakerPelosi??? Impeach him already!


Stephen Miller has the White House denying his grandmother died of COVID-19 even though she died from COVID complications because he doesn't want it to mess up his talking points.


BREAKING: Senate passes NDAA by veto-proof margin, 86-14. Bases will be renamed.


Underappreciated part of Turnberry scandal: NYT says the State Dept Inspector General looked at it. NBC News says report was concluded and then marked classified in May. Trump then fired that Inspector General in May. Report is now nowhere to be found.


Tens of thousands of bot accounts tweeting like their well meaning protesters. This is EXACTLY what Trump did in 2016.


US and UK militaries have accused Russia of conducting a space-based anti-satellite weapons test earlier this month, saying that a Russian satellite released an object capable of targeting another satellite.


Devastating.


Donald Trump’s allies at @Facebook are at it again. They’re censoring a new ad we have up in Ohio using an already disproven fact check for a DIFFERENT ad.@ProjectLincoln is not deterred.

Remember how quickly Donald Trump spoke out & defended military bases named after Confederate traitors who took up arms against the Union? It's been 27 days and he still hasn't done anything publicly about Putin reportedly putting bounties on the heads of our troops. — Tammy Duckworth


Trump’s plan to attack Joe Biden’s mental fitness has backfired spectacularly: Washington Post reporter


Kevin McCarthy is mad that a woman won’t just move along after being called a “fucking bitch” by one of his colleagues.


I sat down with @JoeBiden to talk about the most pressing issues of our time. He's exactly the leader we need right now––with the vision, the plans, and character to move America forward. Let's get to work:


Remember when Trump set up the Presidential Alert System in 2018? It allows him to send text messages to every cell phone in the US. Combine this with Federal Troops in our cities on election day and you have a lot of power to disrupt the voting process.


White House says @realDonaldTrump spoke to Russia’s President Putin today


Trump’s niece spent the first few minutes of her interview on #TheView answering questions about the revelations in her new best-selling book. But when it was Meghan McCain’s turn to speak, she was lightning quick to make the interview about herself.


Judge orders deposition against Alan Dershowitz by Jeffrey Epstein victim to be unsealed today


Perspective: Anonymity is for CIA officers, not for federal law enforcement countering protesters in America. It denies local accountability.


I believe the term for this in MAGA is "womp womp."


Full Biden Obama video See what real Presidents look like


House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on whether the Republican Party has a woman problem:


Although the administration's actions in Portland make no sense as law enforcement, they make perfect sense as part of a new kind of political campaign: Welcome to the era of performative authoritarianism


Pres. Trump denies he asked US ambassador, an ally, to get UK to help his Scotland golf course.

@AOC : "Lastly, what I want to express to Mr. Yoho is gratitude. I want to thank him for showing the world that you can be a powerful man and accost women. You can have daughters and accost women without remorse. You can be married and accost women."

Wartime President.


.@stuartpstevens writes that the GOP is a “white grievance party” led by “paranoids, kooks, know-nothings & bigots.” If you accept his searing critique—and I do—then it is incumbent on @ProjectLincoln to target not just Trump but also his enablers.


Barr claimed a recent “surge” of federal cops arrested 200 people in Kansas City. He was off by 199.
