Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I want proof they are actually paying for it and it's not coming out of the federal budget. Or off the tariff shelf. Whatever. I don't trust what this regime says, show me the money.

The Republican health care plan is about as real as Santa Claus.

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

Ummm, your B needs to be an M. $300M, not billion. It still sucks, though.

Bro, it's not an act. Here's an allegory. I am 21, about to finish my tour, spent all four years with the 82nd Airborne. Nothing special, we were comms, but because of the type of comms, (field sat) we got to travel far and wide. I am an E5 squad leader. In an odd set up our platoon has no newbies

SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

a man says well ain t this place a geographical oddity ALT: a man says well ain t this place a geographical oddity

Ain't this government an economic oddity? A year from everything!

Over her lifetime she's married a bird-man from another planet, shattered the moon, been turned into a gorilla, been a UN Ambassador, and so so much more. That's living!! Happy anniversary to the great Amazonian warrior, #WonderWoman!

I live in the middle of cattle country, they will always support him and ALWAYS vote republican. They are very good at making excuses and what-about-isms.

You need to see this…

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Wut

Good grief 🤦🏼‍♀️

The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million.

This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

Not sure how well this would work but it is a favorite knitting quote of mine...

Don't get me started on what it's done to property taxes and homeowners insurance.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Every time I see or hear one of his sycophants I think, "Don't go away mad, just go away!"

She has lost her north.

We have a spare 40 billion to hand over to Argentina, their dictator, and Scott Bessent's friend.

But no money to feed kids. No money got Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA subsidies.

But 40 billion for the dictator of Argentina, and an oligarch.

Crowds have power.

As we protest this cruel regime, it’s important not to give them any excuse to respond with violence.

They want a police state. 🚔
We’ll model peaceful opposition.📺

Please consider these tips for ensuring calm, peaceful protests.

Stay safe out there.🕊️

Germany’s parliament met only 20 times during the Nazis’ 12-year reign, and didn’t meet at all in the last 3 years. MAGA Mike Johnson is going after that record.
