Mike Johnson said last night the GOP is the "law and order team." "We always have been and we always will be the advocates for the rule of law." That same party just made a convicted felon its nominee.

The RNC embraces Jan. 6: * The Pledge of Allegiance was led by an Illinois activist who attended the Jan. 6 rally * The Nevada GOP Chairman, who seconded Trump’s formal nomination, helped organize 2020 fake electors * The deputy policy director of the platform committee was in the mob outside the Capitol * At least three others in that mob are serving as delegates * At least five Republicans who served as fake electors are delegates — including four who have been charged with fraud, forgery and conspiracy washingtonpost.com/elections…

Trump’s plan to address high interest rates, per a new ⁦@BW⁩ interview

JD Vance has pledged he would do what Mike Pence wouldn’t - overturn an election and illegally seize power. He says the president can ignore the rulings of our courts. He would capitulate to Russia and sacrifice the freedom of our allies in Ukraine. The Trump GOP is no longer the party of Lincoln, Reagan or the Constitution.

BREAKING: A video-taped phone call between RFK Jr. and Donald Trump just leaked. Donald Trump: "We're going to win." RFK Jr: "Yeah."

Jake Tapper lets Eric Trump push conspiracy theories about how "they" tried to assassinate his father with zero pushback. (Who is "they"?)

Project 2025 shifts taxes from the wealthy to the middle class— a family of 4 earning $100K would suffer a $2,600 tax hike, while a family earning $5 million would get a $325,000 tax cut. cc: @Brendan_Duke

A video of Trump’s call with RFK Jr. was leaked - Trump talks about vaccines, tells RFK Jr. doing something with him would be “big,” mentioned his call with Biden and said the bullet was like “the world’s largest mosquito.” RFK Jr apologized for the leak.

CBS News: Hungary’s Viktor Orbán seized control of universities rewrote the Constitution and neutered the courts. Is that what you're advocating for in the US? JD Vance: I think Orbán made smart decisions that we could learn from in the US. (June 2024)

Trump's VP candidate JD Vance: “I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.”

President Biden: I have not engaged in inciting rhetoric. My opponent has engaged in that rhetoric. He talks about, there’ll be ‘a bloodbath’ if he loses, says he will suspend the sentences of January 6 insurrectionists. I'm not out there making fun, like when Nancy Pelosi's husband was hit with a hammer and Donald Trump made fun of it

ON TRUMP BEIN SHOT AND THINGS BEIN CRAZY

🧵: Here, we'll make it easy for you, here's *most* of the times JD Vance has trashed Donald Trump, all in one place. JD trashing Trump: A Thread

JD Vance: “We need a De-Ba’athification program in the U.S....We should seize the administrative state for our own purposes. We should fire all of the people...every single middle-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state. Replace them with our people.”

NEW: Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY) on Judge Cannon dismissing Trump classified documents case: “This is the stuff of a banana republic, not a democracy. Americans will have a clear choice to make on November 5: a wannabe dictator (Trump) or a democratic statesman (Biden)”

JD Vance, a 2020 election denier, has said it's "totally reasonable" for Trump to investigate President Biden and Democrats if he is elected.

Bone chilling to see at #RNCConvention people chanting "Fight" in unison with one arm punching in the air. Instantly conjures up rallies from 1930's Germany. There is no other way to put it:

BREAKING: trump has just announced JD Vance as his Vice Presidential pick. Here's a reminder of some of the TRUE THINGS he's said about trump in the not-so-distant past:

Understand what Judge Cannon did. She saw the non-stop media coverage of the shooting, used that distraction to overturn decades of legal precedent without citing a single case in her ruling's favor, & dismissed Trump's classified documents case. This is how republics collapse.

Today’s precedent-shattering decision in Florida is further proof that the guardrails of our democracy are coming down. Again, a partisan judge throws out decades of precedent to reach a desired political outcome. Justice is again delayed so it may be denied.
