The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.
I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

What a ridiculous statement.
Trump: "I'm gonna be meeting with generals and admirals and with leaders, and if I don't like somebody, I'm gonna fire them right on the spot."

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up.
And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name.
Shouldn’t be hard!

Helps explain why Tom Homan has been so aggressive pushing Trump's agenda.
Maybe he's a true believer, or maybe he knows his ability to keep walking around free depends on making the boss happy.

i think if Jesus was alive today he would speak out against the most despicable people and they are those who quote bible verses, speak lies like they breath, and wear a smile and a crucifix while daily hurting the most vulnerable.

You know how broken our political system is when a man who’s clearly deranged holds the highest office and the people who could remove him from that office continue to support him with gusto.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike.
His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.
