🗞️ The @washingtonpost did a piece on my fight to defend @JoeBiden and his legacy.

As I told them: no cover-up. No scandal. Just a good man, a damn good president — and too many folks who should know better but are piling on anyway.

Give it a read. 👇

It’s a lonely time to be a very online Biden guy. Not a joke!

Former president Joe Biden’s legacy has taken a beating lately. But Chris Jackson isn’t ready to concede.

🚨 NEW: President @JoeBiden on the new American Pontiff, Pope Leo:

"I think he's great. I think he's a good friend of Pope Francis. And, you know, I think he's going to keep moving the church in the direction of being more ecumenical and reaching out and I think that's all good."

📺 WATCH: On the eve of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, President Biden honors our WWII veterans with grace, respect, and deep gratitude.

Have you ever heard Trump talk like this about those who served? You haven’t—because he doesn’t. That’s the difference in these men.

No one’s begging to hear more Hard to believe, but just 3 months ago we had a president who respected allies, didn’t bully them, and didn’t try to annex their land. The world respected us. Now we’ve got a wannabe dictator picking fights with friends and making us a global embarrassment.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand how “Christian” Conservatives back a guy who cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star, was found liable for rape, mocks their faith, and thinks he’s God—while hating Joe Biden, a devout Catholic who actually lives his faith. Olympic-level hypocrisy.

🚨 Donald Trump is back at his Palm Beach Resort today, swinging clubs while America pays the tab.

104 days in office. 40% spent golfing at his own properties.

Over $140 million in taxpayer cash—blown on golf carts, luxury suites, and billionaire bootlicking.

This isn’t leadership. It’s looting.

Just imagine the media meltdown if Joe Biden or Barack Obama casually shrugged off a RECESSION as “A-OK.”

There’d be wall-to-wall coverage, think pieces, and breaking news banners.

But when Trump does it? Crickets.

My God.

Put it in an ad tomorrow.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · May 3

Welker: Is it ok in the short term to have a recession?

Trump: Yeah. Everything is ok.

What? Last 3 of 4 Dem nominees? Black man, white woman, Black woman. And that white guy in 2020? Black voters put him there. So when you spout stuff like this, you’re not helping—you’re handing Republicans ammo to say we’re outta touch.

? And idiotic rhetoric like this that make absolutely no sense are why Democrats look like far left extremists.

🖐️ Who else is fired up about @AndyBeshearKY eyeing a 2028 run?

Young. Two-term Dem governor. 65% approval—in ruby red Kentucky. He bridges divides and gets things done.

Exactly the kind of leadership we’ll need after the Trump disaster.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s reckless trade war just triggered a shrinking U.S. economy in Q1—recession now on the horizon.

When Biden left office, we were projected for 3% growth.

Who’s president does matter.
This is a brutal self-own by the American people.

🚨 BREAKING: SPENDING SOARS IN TRUMP'S 100 DAYS

Trump promised to cut SPENDING. Then blew through $220 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period under Joe Biden, according to official records.

But sure, he’s “fiscally responsible.” Where the hell is DOGE when you need it?

🚨 NEW: The Navy just lost a $60M fighter jet after the USS Harry S. Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire.

This is what happens when Trump and Pete Hegseth treated the military like a reality show—unqualified hacks in charge, real-world disasters for everyone else.

📺 After all of Trump’s constant attacks on Canada’s sovereignty, a Canadian citizen asked President Biden if he thinks Canada is truly independent.

Biden gave a big smile and said:
"Of course it’s an independent country. It’s a great independent country. If I were defecting, I’d go to Canada!"

This photo of @JoeBiden and @DrBiden in Rome yesterday is classic Joe—taking time to meet and talk with everyone who wanted to see him.

But according to Jake Tapper, he’s clearly in decline! 🙄

By Day 100, Biden delivered $1,400 checks, vaccines, and an economic comeback.

Trump has delivered tariffs, inflation, and a crumbling economy.

MAGA called it “winning.” America calls it a disaster.

Two months ago, Republicans were waving polls around like trophies.

Now that Trump’s been exposed as the most unpopular president ever, they’re crying “rigged.”

Pathetic. If it weren’t so sad, it’d be comedy.
