'Totally Unhinged': Trump Ripped After Bizarre Attack On Lawmaker's 'Ugly Face'
He also said Raskin has an 'ugly face.'
Trump's tirade came shortly after Raskin appeared on MSNBC, where he spoke about a report indicating that the president wasn't aware that his signature 'big beautiful bill' would cut Medicaid until a Republican lawmaker pointed it out to him earlier in the day.
Raskin said there's a lot of discussion on the floor of the House over just how much Trump knows about his own bill and whether he's 'out of it.'
Yet most GOP lawmakers support the bill anyway, even those who aren't happy with it themselves.
'All of these people have gotten in line despite their own misgivings because Trump is leading the way ― but Trump might not even understand what's in the bill,' Raskin said. 'So it's a very dangerous moment when you think about what democracy is, and it doesn't speak well for what has become of the Republican Party.'
Yet not everyone in the Republican caucus has backed the bill ― and as a key vote stalled late Wednesday, Trump attacked Raskin on Truth Social:
Raskin brushed it off during an MSNBC interview.
'I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Donald Trump given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote for president in two different elections,' he told Lawrence O'Donnell. 'And the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Joe Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection against the Constitution, against his own vice president, and against the Congress of the United States.'
He also had a response to Trump calling him 'ugly.'
'I suppose I don't like being called ugly by Donald Trump, but not everybody can live up to his exquisite levels of handsomeness and personal physical grace,' he said.
Trump's critics on X also fired back at the president:

Just a really disturbed person. Media has normalized his insanity to a ridiculous degree. This (and most of what he does) is not normal. healthy human behavior. https://t.co/dvM43o4mvH

Can you remember another time in modern American history where the president of the country attacked an opponent of his for his 'ugly face'? (Also, do you remember when Republicans with clutch their pearls about civility and etiquette?) https://t.co/sA106MoiUg

Trump is projecting — again. No world leader speaks about their own officials with such venom. His unhinged rants aren't strength, they're a warning sign.This isn't leadership. It's emotional instability wrapped in delusion. America deserves better.

When you point your finger at someone else, you point three fingers at yourself. Jesus said to 'love your neighbor as yourself.' Hard, isn't it, Mr. President? Cong. Raskin is a Constitutional expert, the real reason you attack/resent him. @realDonaldTrumphttps://t.co/cmN2FkEUdt

.@RepRaskin is one of the smartest, kindest, most principled leaders we have - and he has continued to lead through some of the most profound loss a human being can endure. Unlike those who are clinging to cruelty, ego and self interest right now - he has never lost his compass. https://t.co/vA74MeqtNK

Jamie Raskin would eat Donald Trump for lunch in a debate. Raskin is a constitutional lawyer who has taught constitutional law for over 25 years.

Trump's tirade isn't just petty—it's part of a pattern. His rhetoric leans hard into violence, personal attacks, and sugar-coated distortions dressed up as 'truth.' Political scientists have tracked a sharp rise in his use of violent language over the years, often rivaling…

Democratic lawmakers denied entry to Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention site
A group of Florida Democratic state lawmakers was blocked from entering the Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention facility in the Everglades Thursday, despite citing legal authority for an official legislative site visit. Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried issued a statement following the incident, saying, "Lawmakers on the ground were just blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called 'safety concerns.' This is a taxpayer-funded facility, run by the State of Florida. Our elected officials have every legal right to walk through those gates." Fried added, "What are Ron DeSantis and his administration trying to hide? If it's unsafe for lawmakers to visit, how is it safe for anyone inside?" Democrats raise concerns over conditions Ahead of the attempted site visit, the Democratic lawmakers said in a joint statement, "As lawmakers, we have both the legal right and moral responsibility to inspect this site, demand answers, and expose this abuse before it becomes the national blueprint." They also voiced concerns about conditions for detainees. First group of detainees arrives The first group of detainees arrived at the facility, according to a spokesperson for Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier. "Detainees began arriving last night. Under President Trump's leadership, we are working at turbo speed on cost-effective and innovative ways to deliver on the American people's mandate for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens," said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. "We will expand facilities and bed space in just days, thanks to our partnership with Florida." The facility, located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, is expected to house up to thousands when fully operational. Built in just eight days across 10 miles of Everglades terrain, the center includes more than 200 security cameras, over 28,000 feet of barbed wire and 400 security personnel, according to state officials.

Want Cheaper Solar Panels, Home Batteries or a Heat Pump? Better Act Soon
(Bloomberg) -- The Republican-led US Senate's passage of legislation to eliminate incentives for clean energy means homeowners likely have until the end of the year to install solar panels, batteries and heat pumps before costs soar. NYC Commutes Resume After Midtown Bus Terminal Crash Chaos Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds What Gothenburg Got Out of Congestion Pricing Massachusetts to Follow NYC in Making Landlords Pay Broker Fees California Exempts Building Projects From Environmental Law The bill must still be reconciled with the House of Representatives version and signed into law by President Donald Trump. But the Senate action has dashed advocates' hopes that it might restore some Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) subsidies, or at least give people more time to claim a 30% tax credit on the five-figure cost of installing rooftop solar and home battery storage systems. The Senate bill terminates those subsidies, along with a $2,000 tax credit for buying heat pumps, after Dec. 31 and repeals a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of some electric vehicles after Sept. 30. A loophole that allowed carmakers to pass that savings to customers who lease EVs also would end then. 'The repeal of the credits takes away an option for households to gain not just climate friendly appliances but appliances and systems that effectively enabled them to cut their energy bills,' said Ari Matusiak, chief executive officer of Rewiring America, a nonprofit that advocates for community electrification. He noted that 3.4 million households claimed IRA tax credits in 2023. Matusiak said the subsidies' original expiration in 2032 gave homeowners long-term assurance that when a fossil fuel furnace or water heater suddenly failed, they would receive financial help to replace them with high-efficiency but more expensive electric versions and could install subsidized solar panels to power the devices. Now with those tax credits disappearing, homeowners and installers are scrambling. Martyna Kowalczyk, chief executive officer of Solartime, a family-owned Dallas area solar installer, said she's been interviewing prospective project managers to handle an expected influx of customers in the coming months. 'I am trying to prepare for the rabbit race,' said Kowalczyk. 'Everyone who is considering solar will try to get in this year. And next year will be a drought.' For homeowners, there's reason to rush to their local installer. The tax credits would save more than $10,000 on an average $35,000 system. Most solar panels and home batteries are imported and their cost is likely to rise due to US tariffs. But the looming deadline to claim the tax credits means it's crucial to choose an installer with the capacity to design a rooftop array and battery system, obtain the necessary permits and complete the job in a matter of months. Under the House version of the tax legislation, only systems installed and 'placed in service' by a utility before the tax credits' expiration qualify for the incentives. That raises an issue beyond the control of the installer — the time it takes for your local utility to connect a completed solar array to the grid. In Northern California, for instance, utility Pacific Gas & Electric says it usually flips the switch on a new solar system in five to 10 business days but the process can take up to a month. The Senate bill softens the blow a bit by deleting the 'placed into service' requirement. But homeowners would have to pay for solar and battery systems by Dec. 31 to be eligible for the tax credit. The risk is that delays push completion and activation of a solar and battery array beyond the deadline to claim tax credits and a homeowner is left on the hook for the full cost of the system. Other factors to consider include the age of your roof and whether it needs to be replaced before installing solar panels. Also, make sure your home's electrical panel has sufficient capacity to accommodate a solar and battery system or heat pumps. Even before the tax bill, A1 Sun, a Berkeley, California-based installer, was already booked through the end of 2025. 'We are placed in the unfortunate position of both not being able to take advantage of any sort of 'gold rush' for new contracts this year, and also having a lot of anxiety about being able to meet our commitments to install those customers who already had contracts in place,' said Reuben Ly, sales manager for family owned A1 Sun. 'It's just pulling the rug out from underneath us,' he said of the tax bill.
