Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Trump quits his interview: "You're either crooked or you're stupid…Your elections are crooked. You're crooked. Meet The Press is crooked. And so is ABC, and CBS, and CNN…Alright, let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."

Good for Shapiro
Reporter: VP Vance called the court order absurd.
Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
And you’ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see people in my state who are hungry because of Vance’s bullshit politics, that makes me angry.
That’s why I went to court, and that’s why we’re putting dollars on people’s SNAP cards—because that’s what the people of Pennsylvania deserve. And America deserves better than J.D. Vance.

Hitler – Mein Kampf (1925):
“The first and most important task of education is to teach the youth to love their own nation and country, and to subordinate everything else to this.”
Stalin – Speech to the Komsomol (1935):
“Young people must be brought up to love with all their heart the socialist homeland, the Soviet Union, for only then can they become true communists.”
Mussolini – Speech to the Chamber of Deputies (1927):
“We educate the young to believe in Fascism, to revere the fatherland, and to prepare themselves for the sacrifices which the nation will require of them.”
Franco – Address to the Spanish Youth Organization (1940):
“We must train children from the earliest years to love Spain above all things, to serve her with discipline and sacrifice, and to accept no ideal higher than the greatness of our fatherland.”

"In the short time since Kirk was slain, most on the Left have rightly condemned his murder. A not insignificant number, however, have reacted with an almost competitive lack of empathy. Not only is their anti-moral posturing likely to turn off ordinary Americans, who abhor political violence, but it is also politically misguided and strategically naive. There is nothing to celebrate here. Indeed, there is much to fear."

Jack Schlossberg- JFK grandson: This is what he said when he learned Trump unclassified his grandfather's assassination. This is pretty powerful!
A.) "President Trump is obsessed with my grandfather — but not in his life or what he achieved in it. No, just like @robertfkennedyjr @realdonaldtrump is only interested in JFK’s carcass."
B.) "JFK drafted the civil rights act — Trump made DEI illegal. JFK stared down Russia and did not blink — Trump is Russia’s closest ally. JFK sent a man to the moon — Trump gave Elon the keys to Air Force One. JFK created USAID — Trump eliminated it."
C."JFK fought fascism and Communism. Trump is selling us out to tech warlords, at home and abroad. JFK stood behind unions and labor, demanding healthcare, higher pay. Trump is stripping working families from lifesaving care , financial support."
D.)"These men are stealing history from present and future generations — by appropriating the past for their criminal agenda, they normalize themselves in the minds of those without living memory."

Sad!
The #Army250 parade starting 30 minutes early due to incoming weather. Crowd nowhere near the 200,000 expected. @nbcwashington
