I’m sorry but since when are we measuring reflecting pools against skyscrapers? The dementia is getting out of control.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections… He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments. That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you. It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity. He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar. Credit - Mathew Reed

Following my meeting with the German Chancellor, today I held forward-looking and promising talks with the President of France on bilateral and European issues. We agreed to renew the Hungarian–French strategic partnership ahead of the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. I invited President @EmmanuelMacron, as well as the Presidents of the French Senate and National Assembly, to Budapest for the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and I was pleased to accept an invitation to attend France’s national day celebrations on 14 July in Paris. In just a few weeks, we have succeeded in strengthening Hungary’s position in Central Europe, as well as in Berlin, Paris, and Brussels.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ju…

Wow! @SenatorLujan just completely torched Scott Bessent and Donald Trump for their corruption. "President Trump's sons signed a deal, as you know, with World Liberty Financial with a bunch of folks you sanctioned. And now, as part of this, there's an addendum that says President Trump and his kids and anyone affiliated with him, I don't know if it's current wives, former wives, people that just did transactions with him, they're off scot-free... You're telling me as the Secretary of U.S. Treasury, you don't know that the President of the United States, who I think you work for, got a sweetheart deal from the Department of Justice, who's your lawyer. You're in line for the Presidents, Scott. "Here's a list of all the insider trading right here... You should apologize to the American people for fleecing them and giving this a way to Donald Trump, man. That's what you should do."

Republicans just rejected our measure to permanently block Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionist cop-beaters. It’s horrifying. Every single Republican is now on record protecting this egregious corruption scheme. We cannot trust Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s personal attorney, when he says the fund is “dead.” We must assert Congressional oversight and rein in this out-of control administration.

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files? BLANCHE: We have complied with the law DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. And you know what you said to me? 'They include another guy named Epstein.' Nobody is buying it *the time of the gentlelady has expired* DEAN: I beg your pardon? How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this? What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up.

I'm pushing to permanently ban BOTH Trump's MAGA slush fund and the blank check he cut to himself and his family that would allow them to cheat on their taxes. @SenateGOP: If you believe the slush fund should be banned and that they shouldn’t get tax immunity, then vote yes. America will be watching.

Oui, nous sommes peu nombreux face à cette déferlante haineuse venue cette fois de la gauche de la gauche et qui n'épargne pas la presse. @joelrubinfeld , je me battrai jusqu'à mon dernier souffle contre l'antisémitisme qui détruit la démocratie et la République

🏛️ Même les républicains du Sénat ont finalement dit non. Les sénateurs GOP ont retiré du projet de budget une enveloppe pouvant atteindre 1 milliard de dollars destinée à financer la gigantesque salle de bal de 90 000 pieds carrés que Donald Trump souhaite construire à la Maison-Blanche. Le président faisait personnellement pression depuis plusieurs semaines pour obtenir le feu vert du Congrès, en invoquant notamment des raisons de sécurité après la tentative d'intrusion armée lors du dîner des correspondants à Washington en avril. Mais face aux priorités budgétaires et aux débats sur l'immigration, le projet a été discrètement retiré du texte. Un rappel que, malgré son influence sur le Parti républicain, Trump ne parvient pas toujours à imposer ses projets les plus personnels au Congrès. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Today @SecMullinDHS yet again tried to defend ICE’s lawless deportation dragnet by asserting that they are going after the “worst of the worst.” Nobody is fooled by this flat-out lie. In fact, ICE has been violating their own policy for a year by arresting people at immigration court. But Secretary Mullin didn’t even know that. DHS does not get to make up their own laws and it’s time Sec. Mullin learns what they are and follows them.

BREAKING: Justice Sotomayor BLASTS Trump’s justices in a scathing dissent over yet another rubber-stamping of Republican racist election-stealing shenanigans! She didn’t hold back… The right-wing conservatives on the Supreme Court just voted to allow Alabama to use a 2023 map which was so obviously racist that a three-judge panel of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump appointees again found that the map was unconstitutional. But nothing except Republican power matters to Trump’s justices on SCOTUS, who voted 6-3 to allow Alabama to use the racist map anyway. Justice Sotomayor eviscerated her fellow justices in her dissent, writing that they “disregard both democratic values and the rule of law.” “In addition to being wrong on the merits, the Court’s decision inflicts two grave harms on the public. It debases the democratic process by upending Alabama’s entire election in the name of permitting Alabama to discriminate against Black Alabamians.” “It also corrodes the rule of law by rewarding Alabama’s gamesmanship and outright defiance of court orders.” “It is long established that ‘he who comes into equity must come with clean hands.’ Alabama’s hands, however, are far from clean. Instead, it defied the District Court’s order in these cases even after this Court affirmed it, and took utterly irreconcilable positions at different stages in these cases to suit its own purposes.” “Now the Court is squarely faced with a record of the turmoil it has caused and the harm it has wrought. Yet just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos. Because I choose to defend the rule of law and the right of all Alabamians to participate equally in democracy, I respectfully dissent.” It is absolutely abhorrent the way that Trump’s justices have allowed state Republicans to play legislative Calvinball with the law and the rules, arguing one thing one day and against that very same thing the next when it suits them. No precedent matters, no good faith interpretation of the law, nothing matters except the exercise of power and advancing the MAGA agenda. Once we retake power, impeaching Trump’s justices and reforming our courts has to be a top priority – because if we don’t, they will pack the courts even more and entrench one-party rule forever. Like and share to spread her powerful words to EVERY American!
