Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust. And whether it’s Natalie Harp printing out Donald Trump’s daily dose of delusion and flattery, or Peter Navarro steering taxpayer-funded loans to Trump family investments, or Pete Hegseth deluding the president daily into deepening this quagmire in the Middle East, no one cares about their feelings.
The sailors on the Lincoln are fighting his war, a war based on lies, while he plays with his new ballroom, flies around on a jet given to him by a foreign prince, and retreats into this circle of sycophantic aides who tell him every day what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.
This entire White House is responsible for lying the country into war, and for the rest of their careers, they will be known for having participated in this obscenity.

Trump Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins just called his SNAP cuts a "pretty big win".
Throwing 5 million struggling Americans — including families with children — off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich isn't a "win".
It's a national disgrace.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?
This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.
While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming.
These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.
Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.

Jason thinks people need to sacrifice to balance the budget, but I wonder if he would consider sacrificing the billions of dollars the feds spent to bailout his buddies at Silicon Valley Bank.
Getting Americans & their representatives to decline funding the government has ALREADY promised them, and that they fought hard to get, is going to be an extremely difficult task.
DOGE is going to require collective sacrifice
and a culture switch from:
“I need to get mine!!!” to “we can get by with less” — or even better: “we don’t need a handout, we’ll do this ourselves”
Culture shifts are very hard, but it feels like this one is gaining momentum
And if you’re part of the 73m who voted for Kamala and the dems, or the 76m who voted for Trump and JD, this is a way for y’all to positively work together to lower taxes and stop wasting money — and eventually balance the budget!
Those are things ALL Americans want

Sure is interesting how we passed the Inflation Reduction Act, and then inflation went down.

What is the source for this (as in what is the context - not the person who provided it to you)?
Is a longer clip available?

Undocumented immigrants paid $97B in taxes in 2022.
T-Mobile, Office Depot, and Duke Energy made billions in profits but paid nothing in federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022.
Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There's only enough room to provide data for one company mentioned, so, for T-Mobile, their federal income taxes paid in tax year 2022 was 556 million dollars. That equates to a 17.7% effective tax rate. Please see page 34 and 37, respectively, of their SEC form 10-K.

We’re five days after this incident and neither the times nor the post nor anyone else has managed to reveal the two Trump staffers who assaulted this woman? In front of tons of witnesses? In a notoriously leaky campaign? Not taking the story remotely seriously.

Dear National Federation of Republican Assemblies (@GOPWing),
Why, last October, did you *unanimously* adopt a resolution claiming that Kamala Harris is Constitutionally ineligible to be President, and cite the infamously racist case of *Dred Scott v Sandford* as legal support?

The USPS is pushing workers to speed up mail deliveries despite intense heat. A manager in Buffalo, N.Y., told supervisors to "turn A/C off and drive them out" of offices.
These practices are endangering the lives of postal workers as heat waves become more frequent due to climate change. OSHA is investigating the death of a mail carrier in North Carolina this summer that may have been heat-related. /1
