TFG was worth approximately $350 million (Forbes) in 2016. He is currently worth $10+ billion. He owned 1 broken down grounded jet. Taxes renovated it while using Airforce 1. He is renovating the Qatar bribe jet with our taxes. That makes a total of 6 jets TFG has access to that we are paying for.

Anyone who can take a casino for $1.4 in blackjack, playing at house odds, is fit to be president of these United States. Unlike, say, some grifting moron who is granted a gaming license, and at house odds, runs it into bankruptcy.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

My team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Hammam, & Chris Shay) has a new piece, whose title speaks for itself. A 🧵 with some key descriptive takeaways:

The resistance reaches into Trump country

As organizers for No Kings 2 seek historic turnout on Oct. 18, the broader pro-democracy movement has already broken new ground.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
