Comment on Democrats’ top priority is to change the rules to stay in power, Cruz says

“Donald Trump on Saturday insulted the prosecutor who has charged him in his ongoing New York criminal trial, speaking at a large rally on the Jersey Shore filled with personal attacks, coarse language and vulgar expressions from the former president and his supporters,” the Washington Post reports. “The attacks were the latest show of defiance against judges and prosecutors from a candidate who is facing 88 criminal charges across four indictments.

Politico: “Surrounded by roller coasters and amusement park thrills along a boardwalk in Wildwood, the former president railed against the trial that has largely taken him off the campaign trail. This was only the third rally Trump has held since the case began almost one month ago.” “But in recent events, Trump has been escalating his attacks on the justice system and Biden.

“Paul Manafort, the longtime political power broker who served as the 2016 chairman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, is no longer planning to help manage this summer’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee,” the Washington Post reports. “Manafort’s decision to step aside comes a day after The Washington Post reported that he had re-engaged in international consulting, including lending support to a media venture in China, after being pardoned by Trump for crimes related to money laundering and obstruction of justice.”

“The person on the other side of the aisle is not an enemy. They’re a fellow American. Our enemies are like Hamas and Hezbollah and the people who are trying to kill us. These are our political adversaries.” — Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), quoted by The Hill.

Donald Trump predicts that if President Joe Biden is reelected in 2024, the result will be a bloodbath, World War III, "and everything else”—presumably meaning the basic human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, and mass hysteria. This all sounds pretty bad. Except, this isn't the first time Trump made this kind of prediction.

The Washington Post's "senior art and architecture critic" clearly thinks otherwise, waxing all plummy about community spaces and other drivel.
