Stuart Stevens: "Millions of words are expended trying to analyze Donald Trump when the simple truth is that he's a horrible human being who is everything decent parents teach their kids not to be.

Republicans, you did this. So when your son assaults a girl, lies, refuses to take responsibility for any mistake, goes off on immigrants, don't act surprised. You told him this behavior was presidential and positive.

Character is a choice. Trump was your choice. Now live with the consequences."

"Law Firms Made Deals With Trump. Now He Wants More From Them." They agreed to "do some free legal work on behalf of largely uncontroversial causes like helping veterans." Now Trump wants the free legal service from them to be used "as a legal war chest to be used as he wishes" including "representing Mr. Trump or his allies if they became ensnared in investigations":

Derek Thompson: "Imagine trying to manage a supply chain right now.

Every 48 hours, the White House is announcing, or un-announcing, or re-announcing, or creating massive carve outs to, a new trade rule.

Why would anyone anywhere build a new factory in the United States under these conditions?" #politics

Sean Gardner Turner: "I don't want Canada or Greenland.
I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian." #priorities #politics

Gov. Tim Walz: "I think we need a shadow government so when all these things come up, every single day, we have an alternate press conference telling the truth about what things are happening." #Trump #politics

@br00t4c Accepting campaign contributions from corporate donors was always a good idea, but now it is essential in order to have a chance against Trump's candidates who have unlimited funds from Musk. Rahm Emanuel has excellent ideas and he did amazingly well in his most recent job, as Ambassador to Japan. We need our best people to defeat Trump's candidates, and Rahm is one of our best people. I do not agree with him on every issue, but I agree with him on many issues.

@br00t4c What support do you have for that claim?
Anyone could accuse anyone else of anything.

You, @br00t4c, can't think of another Democrat more unsuited to the current moment than Rahm Emanuel?

Here is my list of the Top Ten Democrats more unsuited than Rahm Emanuel: Joe 'Heck of a Debate' Biden, Kamala 'Lost to Trump' Harris, Hillary 'Lost to Trump' Clinton, Bernie 'A Great Guy But Too Old' Sanders, Jared 'Dem who Voted Wrong on the CR' Golden, Tulsi 'MAGA' Gabbard, RFK 'MAGA' Jr., Eric 'Saved By Trump' Adams, Nancy 'Too Old' Pelosi, and John 'Lost to Bush' Kerry. #politics

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "Republicans run the House, the Senate, and the White House. You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options." #politics #CR

Ron Filipkowski: "Rep. Luna claims the FBI Director in New York was just fired for obstructing release of the Epstein files. When asked for her source. Luna said: 'As of right now, it appears to be so. I just saw this being reported on X, so I haven’t had time to confirm it'.” #WhatAnIdiot #BaselessClaims #politics

“Israel’s decision to block aid to over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as Ramadan begins is a reckless act of collective punishment, explicitly prohibited under international humanitarian law":

@Sustainable2050 Sen. Everett Dirksen was famous for saying: "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money."

Trump said about Putin: “I think he’ll keep his word.”

Julia Davis remembered that Stalin said about Hitler: “I think he’ll keep his word.”
That was before Hitler's armies invaded Russia. #history #gullibility #PutinsPuppet

Dan Pfeiffer: "By banning dissenting opinions from the Washington Post opinion page, Jeff Bezos is once again showing the danger of media ownership from billionaires in corporations seeking favor from the government (and Presidents) they are supposed to cover without fear or favor." #media #politics

"Pres. Donald Trump’s plan to remove U.S. legal protections for 600,000 Venezuelans and order their deportation was challenged in court Thursday by a group of Venezuelans and their advocates, who said the action was unlawful, dangerous, and motivated by racism": https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/venezuelans-temporary-protected-status-20178084.php #immigration #politics #racism

Stuart Stevens: "Republicans allowed Trump to break them. These weak people claimed they were strong on national security. Now Russia’s choice runs American intelligence. They claimed they cared about families. Now a former heroin junkie who opposes the mandatory vaccines that have ended polio, whooping cough, measles, is running American health services. Why did they surrender their Constitutional responsibilities to please a felon? They deserve no respect, only shame and scorn." #politics

"Trump’s attack on the Kennedy Center is petty but powerful ... He wants to reprogram what the arts mean to the American people. He is coming after their heart. Their imagination.
