It didn’t take long for this prediction to come true. Admittedly, the degree of difficulty on this one wasn’t especially high.

So much for “America first.”

Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas officers are on the streets right now "looking for those Democrat House members to arrest them and take them to the Texas Capitol and hold them there until a quorum is reached."

“Epstein preyed on girls he thought no one would believe. And he was right.”

Greg Abbott threatens to remove Texas Democrats from office and hold elections to replace them

Trump gets presented with medals from the 1984 Olympics, then says, "can I say I won them athletically?"

Q: Would you support Israel re-occupying all of Gaza?

TRUMP: That's gonna be pretty much up to Israel

Q: Will the DOJ consider pressing charges against any man that tries to masquerade as a woman coming into this country to beat up American athletes? Would you consider genetic testing so these people can prove they're women?

TRUMP: I think there is going to be a very strong form of testing

Trump: "I've been fighting with them for a long time about allowing the water to come down from the pacific northwest. We actually opened up that water pretty strongly, we got a lot of opposition from the governor. We opened it up anyway and the water is coming down...they've gotta allow full water"

oh my goodness -- get a load of Trump's incoherent rant about water management in California (this is an event about the Olympics!)

Trump: "We'll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military."

DOOCY: You could clear the entire Republican field right now. Do you agree that the heir apparent to MAGA is JD Vance?

TRUMP: Well I think most likely

DOOCY: If Texas redrawing their map would get you 5 safe red seats, it means that California, New York, Illinois, and Maryland are all gonna redraw their maps to add safe blue seats. Is it worth it?

TRUMP: Well, they'll do it anyway

Trump on Elizabeth Warren: "I watched this lunatic, Pocahontas, she's a total lunatic. I don't know what she's on. She's all jumping up and down."

Q: Do you want the federal government and the FBI to help locate and arrest these Texas Democrats?

TRUMP: I think they've abandoned the state.

Q: Do you want the FBI involved?

TRUMP: They may have to

Q: Did you personally approve the prison transfer for Ghislaine Maxwell?


TRUMP: I didn't know about it at all. It's not a very uncommon thing.

Q: Do you believe she's credible?

TRUMP: Todd Blanche is one of the most highly respected people you would ever meet

Trump: "Somebody from DOGE was very badly hurt last night. A young man who was beat up by a bunch of thugs in DC. And either they're gonna straighten their act out in terms of government and in terms of protection of we're gonna have to federalize."

This is called a confession. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

It says a lot when Jeffrey Epstein's survivors come out against you

ICE Offers, Then Quickly Withdraws, Cash Bonuses for Swiftly Deporting Immigrants

NEW: According to an internal email, ICE floated the idea of offering cash bounties for expedited deportations. The idea was withdrawn four hours later after ICE was asked for comment. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

Trump: "Whatever Todd Blanche asked Ghislaine Maxwell would be totally appropriate, and it's not an uncommon thing to do that. I think he probably wants to make sure that people that should not be involved or aren't involved are not hurt by something that would be ver, very unfortunate, very unfair"
