One of my proudest moments as your Governor was delivering universal free breakfast for 1.7 million students across our Commonwealth.

Every student deserves to start off their day of learning with a full belly – and we’re making it happen here in Pennsylvania.

I don't believe I've ever seen Trump laugh before.
Talk about the mask slipping.
She smiles, and then dabs the tears. Utter fraud. As big of an actor as her husband.
But then what can you expect from a traitor who ran a troll farm to rival Veles?

Pro-Trump youth group enlists teens in secretive campaign likened to a ‘troll farm,’ prompting rebuke by Facebook and Twitter

The sprawling operation by Turning Point Action, led by conservative activist Charlie Kirk, evades guardrails put in place to prevent the spread of online disinformation, experts said.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 3h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Full list of Young Republicans in vile chats exposes rot: racist, antisemitic, misogynist slurs - jokes about Hitler, rape, gas chambers. The national board says it is appalled and demands immediate resignations.

Full list of Young Republicans involved in offensive chats

Politico obtained 2,900 pages of exchanges over seven months among a dozen Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont.

This deserves more attention. North Carolina wiped out $6.5 Billion in medical debt for 2.5 million residents. Less than 1/3 of what we paid to bail out Argentina.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

Murkowski built her reputation as a bipartisan during Administrations that didn’t test her. When actual courage was needed she capitulated, fearing for her safety. And now her flood ravaged constituents will have no practical FEMA support to rebuild their lives. Lisa will be fine however.

No. No they won’t. Not for the last umpteen times they swore the SAME DAMN THING.
Doing the same thing but expecting a different outcome is INSANITY
