Where exactly are the Democrats on this? There is going to be no better symbolism of Trump's utter vandalism and corruption of American government and democracy.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?

TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice
Sign reading BIG LAW LITTLE BALLS, and then listing a bunch of lil ball'd firms: A&O Shearman Cadwalder, Wickersham Kirkland & Ellis Latham & Watkins Milbank Paul, Weiss Simpson Thatcher Skadden, Arpa Willkie Farr Then the sign ends with a Trump quote that should make these firms put their heads in the proverbial bag: "They gave me a lot of money considering they did nothing wrong"

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

Protecting pedophiles 101.
A tweet from Kelly Morrison reads: “Then why are you blocking the House from voting to release the Epstein files?” It quotes a tweet from Aaron Rupar that says: “Mike Johnson: ‘When the simple truth is on your side, you have nothing to hide from.’” Below is a photo of Mike Johnson speaking at a podium with a large framed painting behind him.
