Pam Bondi seems to lie like 47. She said terrible crimes were committed in Boston, but all examples were not in Boston. If you want to stop crime, start at the Top. Then Red States. Stay out of Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles. Follow and get behind your mayors.

This is just going to be applicable pretty much every day from now on.
While I'm definitely worried about the negative impacts of the next administration, I'm more worried about the cover-up of the impact data. Recall that Trump did everything he could to hide COVID data.

Happy Friday. There are 459 days until the midterm elections. VP Harris says the system is broken, the Smithsonian erases history and holy crap what a crappy jobs report!

A reminder that Jeffrey Epstein died in the first reign of Chump.
In a federal facility overseen by his Attorney General, Bill Barr.
The same Bill Barr whose father first gave Epstein access to kids and a job at the Dalton School when he had zero qualifications to teach there.

I know we're all hoping that the #EpsteinFiles will be THE final straw. But I'm with @piperformissouri.bsky.social on this. Forget the cult. The right win influencers are MAGA; they make $ off MAGA.

Focus on the 37% who didn't turn out in November.

Only MAGA can listen to Donald Trump brag about walking into teenage girls dressing rooms and then think to themselves...

"He is the only one who is going to stop pedos".

Godspeed, dear kind sir, David Gergen.
You were a wonderful soul, a respectful and wise voice.
Godspeed.

Trump pushed for it—here it is.

📌 Greg Abbott just called a special session for Monday, July 21, to redraw congressional maps and help Republicans cling to the House.

And the shady business didn’t start today

📌 TX-18, a Democratic seat, has been vacant since March. Abbott delayed it until Nov.

So if your response to the best news Democrats have gotten in a decade is to try to find some preposterous avenue toward interpreting this as a bad thing, ask yourself if you have actual hard evidence that this is a bad thing or simply have become incapable of believing that good things can happen.

Perfection! If Trump's budget bill is so Big and Beautiful, then Dems are doing the nation a big favor in forcing a reading of the entire 900+ pages. The GOP must be proud of every word and how it'll confirm their promises to Americans. Right?

Watch Sen. Booker's stream below!
#ReadingIsFundamental
The American people have the right to know, word for word, what's in Trump's Budget Bill. Dems have forced a full reading on the floor and I'm streaming all of it on YouTube.
