He’s not resigning. Either telling the world he is ill (looking for sympathy) or doubling down on hostile take over of Democratic cities.
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is.
Could be resigning
Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window
Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion

Keep #Epstein in the news. We all know who is on the list. But did he fund it, too?
Watch this space.
Apparently people On Here are oblivious to ways HJC, Oversight, & others have been hammering on Epstein consistently. But this, from @wyden.senate.gov, is one even I haven't given due attention.
Bessent is withholding financial docs abt who FUNDED Epstein.

Russia shrugs.
THE ‘BIG’ ANNOUNCEMENT: He was going to end the war in 24 hours. Six months later, he’s giving them a deadline of 50 days. When Putin ignores that, he’ll give him another 50 days. 🙄

A true President, leader, and human. Thank you, sir.
Integrity. Honor. Decency. Compassion.
There was a time when we had all of those traits in our President.

I fear that most of them will fail the test.
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
This is not a test of birthright citizenship.
This is a test of the integrity of the SCOTUS.

Had a patron call to ask if the library was going to be closed. Her comment of “what’s it this time” says it all. America, we can never forget the atrocities of the past.
Remember that Juneteenth is a federal holiday because Joe Biden signed this day into law to commemorate freedom.

1/3 of voters chose this. The rest of us knew. But apathetic non-voters are to blame, as well.
It’s not close to half the country.
Because half the country so desperately wanted Trump back, we may now be on the verge of attacking Iran because the fake peacenik president wants some credit for Israel's military accomplishments. The latest Bulwark Pod is out:

This is NOT who we are, America. Prayers to Speaker Hortman’s family.
I am heartbroken beyond words that Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died in a violent and politically motivated shooting. Melissa was an exceptional public servant. She was smart and funny and so dedicated to making Minnesota work better for all of us.
