Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

NBC’s Richard Engel: β€œThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Former President Clinton’s deposition raised even more questions about Trump’s relationship with Epstein.

What’s clear is that the Trump administration is engaging in a massive cover-up and they must be held accountable.

Its amazing that electing a black man to the highest office in the land caused the right wing to go full racist as a result. Esp since the Obama era was amazing and his government clean. I do not recall ONE administration official who got charged with a crime. Not one.

This is the economic cycle of the United States. It's weird that people have not caught on to this. What does this say about the electorate?

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.

First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

According to a federal court, Trump's IRS illegally shared confidential taxpayer information with ICE 42,695 times.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I noticed during the deposition that he seemed to have a lot of involuntary mouth movements such as the smiling you mentioned but also the gaped open mouth as you can see in this picture.

Four Corporate Democrats Just Helped MAGA Keep an Illegal War Alive Call them out and sign the petition demanding the House re-vote to stop this illegal war

Congress could have stopped an illegal war. Instead, four Democrats voted to let Donald Trump continue it. War costs lives and taxpayer dollars better spent on healthcare, education, and economic opportunity.

Yes, Donald Trump has brought terror to our streets. And has failed to bring down prices.

But at least the economy is doing well! Oh, wait . . .

If you vote for the new $50 billion supplemental appropriations package, you are voting to force us to pay for more of this.

I adore @crockett.house.gov but the only person who can challenge white christian nationalism right in the face is a white male christian. Kinda like how only a previously programmed Barbie in the Barbie movie could de-program another Barbie by pointing out the hypocrisy. At least that's my analogy.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
