Sick. Every American should be ashamed of this.
This is the official White House outlet. Posting a clearly racist, demonizing, and dehumanizing picture. All to further stoke hatred and fear towards others. Stop calling this administration Christian. Stop calling this administration American. They are white nationalists.

I’m tuning out @MSNOWNews and @CNN until the returns start coming in Tuesday evening. All they are offering between now and then is speculation and guesswork about election outcomes. An utter waste of time.

Maybe you should have a conversation with your boss about that, @JDVance
This is literally what they are doing to El-Sayed. Heck, Trump an hour ago said Black and Jewish Americas are "crazy"

Good point. 👇
Trump is going to claim the Democrats rigged the midterm elections. When that happens remind his stupid supporters that if Democrats were actually rigging elections Trump wouldn't be president right now, he'd be in goddamn prison

What a stupid headline. It suggests there is some legitimacy to his demand. Instead, the headline should be: “Elderly Dementia Patient Levels Baseless Accusation Against Political Adversary: apple.news/AmQaOMlPbQEK5Kfhx…

Never forget this. . .

This statement could not be farther from the truth: “The White House says noncitizen voting is a significant problem that warrants the sweeping federal effort to identify and prosecute such cases, including through the deployment of hundreds of federal law enforcement agents.”

Republicans and their propaganda network blast “elitist” Obama for his joke about the Cheesesteak Factory. When Trump mocks the crowd at his rally because they couldn’t afford a hamburger and Coke at Mar-a-Lago, they laugh uproariously. Explain that to me, please. 🤦‍♂️

He can’t even work with his own party. Chances he would be willing to compromise on significant legislation with a Democratic Congress: Zero.
NEW: President Trump reveals how he plans to work with Democrats if they take control of the House after next week's midterm elections. "We'll figure out a way," Trump tells reporters, pointing to his veto power and the possibility of negotiating deals with Democrats. Trump says he hopes Republicans keep the House, but notes that presidents have dealt with divided government before and still managed to get deals done.

If you’re not happy with how Trump and his Republican congressional lackeys are governing the country, you can do something about it. Vote for every Democrat you can in this election. You have the power.
In 7 days, we’re ready to reject Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their enablers all across Pennsylvania and this country.

A first in American history: a US Senator with stage fright. The amount of time she spent at the microphone shows how much she has to offer the voters of Mississippi. Let’s hope they have the good sense to send her packing.
Wow. What an inspiration. Really explains why anyone anywhere would vote for her.

The ravings of an ignorant bigot. His father would be so ashamed that this worthless excuse for a leader shares his name.
What in the fuck is this.

If he were only Director of Maintenance at the White House and not President, everything would be OK in this country.
Trump is absolutely fuming, and it is premium, unfiltered entertainment. 🤭

If it weren’t for James Comey, it’s highly unlikely that Donald Trump ever would have been elected POTUS. You would think he would cut the guy a break.

There is no circumstance in which a high-level executive manifesting Trump’s recent behaviors would be permitted to remain in their job, at least until that behavior ceased. As of now, Trump remains as POTUS. This is insane.

The end of the nightmare we’ve been living in since he slithered down that escalator in 2015 can’t come soon enough. But if you don’t vote for every Democrat on the ballot, it won’t happen.
"Once upon a time, this stuff actually seemed to work for Trump. He built a whole lurid Technicolor artificial world for his supporters to live in. He lied and lied, and from time to time he won. But it’s over. He’s done, the jig is up. Nobody believes." thebulwark.com/p/trump-ralli…

I will never understand how any patriotic American could think that what Trump did to free violent felons like this man was okay. . .
During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career. Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home. This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.
