@ProjectLincoln @TheRickWilson @RepMikeLawler What is the nexus between Trump’s folly of needing a ballroom and gun violence?

Mike Lawler’s constituents need healthcare, but all @repmikelawler wants is to make sure Trump gets his ballroom. In fact, he thought it was so important that he had to record that message from his car.

@Mollyploofkins @2cannan1 I am sure he wrote that letter before last night.

DOJ sends letter urging dismissal of lawsuit against Trump’s White House ballroom, citing last night’s events.

Next time, if you want to fool anybody other than your idiot supporters, move the clouds.

The dumbest, most dishonest president in American history, Trump, posts FAKE photos comparing the Reflecting Pool under Barack Obama to its appearance under his administration. The problem for the serial lying psychopath is that both photos have the exact same clouds. 😂🤣👇

This is an important clarifying point from Jen. This is quite a distance away from the actual ballroom. To be clear, I'm on a short trip out of the country so wasn't there, but familiar with the layout from previous years.

@drhossamsamy65 @jenmade58 IMO, This “event” was elaborately planned and staged. After having never attending this dinner, why did he decide to attend this year?

⛔️Believe or not, this guy is corrupt to the core ‼️ Trump used this staged false flag assassination and addresses the nation and announces that tonight made it clear that he needs his Ball Room completed after reports just uncovered its builders, Clark Construction, were secretly given a no-bid contract by Trump to do another job at a sharply inflated price‼️

@CalltoActivism @jeans2279 This is staged by Trump. No question.

🚨CHAOS: CSPAN has reported shots have been fired at the White House Correspondents dinner. One witness called in to say they heard “boom boom boom.” Trump and Melania have been evacuated. Guests hid under the tables and security. Situation is still developing.

@CalltoActivism @jaw792 He staged it.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Shots have reportedly been fired at the White House Correspondents dinner. Trump and Melania have been evacuated. This situation is developing.

Let’s get this trending to #1 immediately! Spread this picture out!

Isn’t the purpose of the White House Correspondent Dinner to honor our free press & the WHC’s tireless work in fighting for truth. As we no longer have a free press or a functioning group of WH correspondents, who is there to honor? His toadies? Dinner should have been cancelled

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel just delivered the White House Correspondents' Dinner roast Trump was too scared to face — and it’s BRUTALLY HILARIOUS! This year, the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner has abandoned its long-standing tradition of featuring a comedian to host the event and deliver a fiery roast of the incumbent president and their administration. Given Donald Trump’s boycott of any dinner where he might have to face the slightest bit of mockery, it was the only way to get him to return to the scene of his previous humiliations, most notably from the rapier wit of Barack Obama back in 2011. According to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, Trump banned comedians from the Dinner because, as Kimmel put it, "our president is a delicate snowflake with the thinnest fat skin of any human being ever." So, Kimmel did the roast anyway — presenting it as the Alternate White House Correspondents' Dinner from the "Trump Kimmel Center in Washington, DC" in a subtle jab at the MAGA alternate Super Bowl Halftime show. It was everything Trump could possibly fear. The opening of Kimmel’s faux routine set the tone immediately: "I haven't seen this much black since every page of the Trump Epstein files." He then began to skewer the narcissist-in-chief — and select members of his administration — with barbs designed to highlight every major character flaw that Trump pretends doesn’t exist On Trump's ego: "The president didn't want me to tell any jokes about him tonight, but he also didn't want to pay me $130,000 to shut up. So here we are. Sorry, mushroom d**k." On Trump's Jesus complex: "Every time he walks into a room, people say, 'Christ, he's back.' Who did your makeup? Kraft Singles?" On Trump's legacy: "He passed new incentives for oil and gas. He put the brakes on solar and wind. That will be your legacy, sir — breaking wind and passing gas." On Trump's Epstein connection: "30 years ago, you were just some rich guy on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet out of Teterboro. But you worked hard, stayed friends, shared some wonderful secrets. And because of that, you were able to fly on that plane seven more times. Dreams really do come true." On Melania: "Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. She's planning to celebrate her birthday at home, the same way she always does — looking out a window and whispering, 'What have I done?'" And: "Melania's documentary had a score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website named after her husband's testicles." On Kash Patel: "Can we get Kash a vodka soda and a booster seat? I'm not saying Kash Patel has a problem, but his designated driver is Pete Hegseth." On Pete Hegseth: "Pete's hair has more oil in it right now than the Strait of Hormuz. Later on, Pete's going to read us a Bible passage from Pulp Fiction, so stick around." On RFK Jr.: "Years ago, he wrote in his diary that he pulled his car over to carve the penis out of a raccoon. His son asked why. He said, 'Because I'm a f---ing psychopath. Now get out of this car and go get measles.'" Kimmel concluded his alternate reality roast by presenting another made-up award of the type that the insecure president loves so much: the "inaugural Burger King of Comedy Gold Award," which was presented to "Donald J. Leno Trump." Trump may have gotten the White House Correspondents' Association to ban comedians at their annual dinner — but the comedy happened anyway, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel.

#BREAKING: Rep Raskin: “They never even charged that Hunter Biden had any government contract with the United States, they never charged that he had a government contract with a foreign government, and this is ROUTINE business in Trumpland now, they don’t even bother to deny it…”🤦‍♀️

Eric Trump's company Foundation Future Industries received a $24 million Pentagon contract. So where is the MAGA GOP outrage now? If this had been Hunter Biden every single MAGA GOP would have been screaming and starting investigations into Joe Biden and Hunter. But as always if you last name is Trump you are exempt from outrage and investigations. #DemsUnited

These two editorials by the Washington Post expose how the Republican Party and Democratic Party are held to completely different standards by the media. Texas gerrymander: “Not a threat to democracy.” Virginia gerrymander: “Power grab by Democrats.”

James Carville: “How many people in this country do you think know that 18% of the country elects 52 senators? The answer is not very many. How many people know that in the last 9 presidential elections, the Democrats have won 7 in the popular vote?”

BREAKING: News legends Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson along with 250 journalists sign blistering letter demanding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “stop the polite nonsense” forcefully call out Trump to his face! In a powerful open letter, retired star journalists Rather (94) and Donaldson (92), along with more than 250 other members of the press, are urging the White House Correspondents’ Association to stop the usual polite nonsense and use this week’s dinner to directly confront Donald Trump’s unprecedented attacks on the free press. The letter states that Trump’s “systematic, sustained, and unprecedented” assault on journalism – including retaliatory bans, lawsuits, defunding public broadcasting, arrests of reporters, and constant verbal attacks – makes it impossible for the dinner to continue as “business as usual.” They are calling on the WHCA to issue a strong, public defense of the First Amendment from the podium, deliver a direct condemnation of Trump’s behavior, and toast the Constitution in front of the man who has spent years trying to destroy press freedom. This is a remarkable moment: some of the most respected names in American journalism are saying enough is enough. Enough normalizing. Enough smiling and clapping while Trump attacks the free press every single day. The letter makes clear that freedom of the press is not a partisan issue but a cornerstone of democracy, and must be defended.

Once again corporations get welfare and the consumer gets screwed

I almost posted something identical yesterday. I went down the soda aisle and in that moment just decided I couldn’t afford Diet Coke anymore. And it’s not that I don’t have $9, but the cost vs value just doesn’t math anymore. Grocery prices are a full blown crisis at this point, and I’d really like to see some congressional action on price gouging. Because starving people living in the same country where grocery conglomerates are posting record profits is not a sustainable model. The greed has gone too far. Time to rein it in.
