• Olivia Nuzzi walked into the Oval Office to ask Trump about his contentious relationship with John Kelly and everyone else on his staff. She was then treated to a truly bizarre performance. Guest stars from the administration kept popping into the room with smiles on their faces to prove that there was no chaos in the White House, nope, nuh uh, none whatsoever. In fact, they were all just about to have lunch together like one big happy family. From her report in NY Mag:
This was beginning to feel ridiculous, like this was the reunion episode of a sitcom, in which Bob Saget might come out next to an applause track.
• Trump is holding rallies from now til November to help stem the blue tide. Yesterday he characterized the entire Democratic party as a "mob" and smiled as the crowd chanted for the President to "lock up" Senator Dianne Feinstein.

• Tonight he's in Erie, PA. Follow the lie trail here. He just accused Sen. Bob Casey of trading on his father's name. Life is meaningless.
Donald Trump just criticized Sen. Bob Casey for becoming successful on the good name of his father.
Seriously.https://t.co/uoGD90nuIw

• The USA Today published an op-ed about Medicare for All "written" by Donald J. Trump. The Washington Post's fact checkers claim that "almost every sentence contained a misleading statement or a falsehood."
I took a look at your op-ed, @realDonaldTrump. It needs some work.
All of the false and misleading words in the world can’t cover up how your administration and Republicans in Congress are forcing millions of Americans to pay more for health care. pic.twitter.com/SjFjonVBef

I refuse to write anything else about the bad President on this, the 629th day of his reign.
