EL-SAYED to TRUMP: I will go through a metal detector if you will sit for a lie detector. My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election? I will go through a metal detector every day if you sit through a lie detector one time.

In Washington state, we know that our diversity is our strength. President Ronald Reagan established today as National Immigrants Day, recognizing the anniversary of the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty. His words remain true today: "Immigrants have always brought great gifts to their new home on these shores -- the gifts of hardiness and heart, of intellect and hope."

This Wall Street Journal quiz just pegged me as a conservative. That'll likely be news to the tribalists here who call me a "libtard" for believing in facts, critical thinking, the rule of law, and human decency.

"Donald Trump and his family are executing corruption at a scale never previously contemplated in the American experiment. If we are to ever graduate from this era of brazen graft, the first step is to notice." A service, from @MattWelch. reason.com/2026/07/09/the-mo…

From the Official White House Rapid Response account. MAGA must be so proud.
.@POTUS absolutely roasts Mongoloid Moron @AndrewFeinberg for his disgraceful behavior: "What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you."

Nobel laureate @avalaina has documented Russian war crimes in Ukraine since its full-scale invasion. Her reaction to Trump saying Russia has been “fine”’ there?: “We document intentional murders of civilians every day…I'm sorry to say, but this presidential administration completely lost their ability to distinguish between good and evil.”

I'm a conservative. I believe in tradition. I believe in institutions. I believe it's easier to destroy than to create. The GOP is in a sad state now, but it's worth fighting for, it must be fought for. America needs a liberty loving right of center party. – at Stanford, CA

Trump convinced millions he would "drain the swamp" Instead he handed clemency to 85 public officials, mostly Republicans and MAGA loyalists, while the federal anti-corruption unit shrank from about 30 prosecutors to 2. Seems pro-swamp to me reuters.com/investigations/t…

“President Trump is trying to end accountability for public officials,” said Phillip Halpern, a retired assistant US attorney in San Diego who prosecuted two Republican congressmen Trump later pardoned. “He’s setting a standard to encourage corruption and allow it to flourish.”

"We control the Strait 100%."
NOW: Images are circulating that corroborate the Iranian claim this morning that a container ship is sinking in the Strait of Hormuz. This appears to be the vessel GFS PRIDE. While the Iranian claims that this vessel struck a mine are unconfirmed, it DOES appear that the vessel is in fact sinking. This marks a notable escalation.

Canada supplies the U.S. with massive amounts of crude oil, natural gas, electricity, critical minerals, lumber, and fertilizer. If your understanding of Canadian trade begins with "hockey sticks," you probably shouldn't be setting trade policy.
Trump on Trade with Canada: I like the national anthem, O Canada, but I don't really have to listen to it, and we don't need hockey sticks. We don't need face masks. We don't need the kind of stuff they sell us. I think you're going to be really great because these people in Europe, they've taken advantage

Cruelty is the point
When a contractor suggested building ICE detention centers that were humane, White House officials said Stephen Miller categorically did not want detention centers to be humane and would veto any such proposal. This is the man in charge of America's immigration system today.

"glaring legal flaws" 18‑year Interior Department lawyer -- a conservative Christian -- walks away calling Trump’s actions an "assault on the rule of law. Murdock chose integrity over complicity. That’s what ethical courage looks like. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
