It is a shame that someone who once enjoyed bipartisan support has lost all credibility by defending Trump’s “shoot the messenger” way of governing. Fallout continues from Trump’s firing of a top labor official - The Washington Post

Kevin Hassett pointed to the scale of hiring data revisions when asked for evidence to support Trump’s claims that the jobs report was politically rigged.

I love it when I get the chance to meet a hero in person. For those who don’t follow Susan Perri you should. She has had such health challenges over the last few years but she perseveres, she advocates and she inspires. It was awesome to finally meet her. @Perri4health

Louise and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Annette Shelby, the wife of my former colleague Sen. Richard Shelby. She was truly a remarkable lady whose life made an impact on so many. Our sincere condolences and prayers go out to Richard and the entire Shelby family.

Look folks, this is nothing more than an empty gesture. Don’t fall for it. Means nothing. There is nothing under the exceptions under Rule 6e that applies here. Moreover, GJ “transcripts’ will only reveal stuff about Epstein, not too much about others. Transcripts are not.

President Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. ABC News' Mary Bruce reports from the White House.

Happy Independence Day folks! Between the parades and fireworks take some time to just reflect. Reflect on the world changing moment 249 years ago today. Reflect on our trials and tribulations and what it means to be a real American. The American Identity Project seeks to.

I am telling you folks, @chefjoseandres is spot on here. The idea of bringing these stories to life through COMICS by my friend @andrewaydin is absolutely brilliant. Please go to the kickstarter link and contribute in any way you are comfortable. These folks still need our help.

As usual @traecroder nails it! Watch this through and you’ll see what I mean. Republicans from red states are no longer conservative, no longer a party with a political ideology. Loyalty to Donald Trump is their only guide, all at the expense of so many of their constituents.

With his pardons, which are more self serving for himself than the criminals he has pardoned, and his decison to ignore white collar crime, Trump has essential “de-funded the federal police.”. via @NYTimes.

Critics say President Trump has used the vast pardon powers of the presidency not to settle accounts, as President Biden did, but to burn the ledger.

On this Memorial Day please take a break from your beer and BBQ and read the piece below. And then refelct. The title is as provocative as the content: Are we worthy of their sacrifice? Did they die so that a President could so brazenly, and many would argue corruptly, sell.

If there is one thing that I know about @JoeBiden from our many years of friendship, it that he is a fighter. Louise and I will continue to lift up Joe and Jill in our prayers as they face the challenges ahead as we wish him the speediest of recoveries.
