Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Letitia James: "The indictment is baseless. It's nothing more than retribution. Retribution for basically doing my job ... I will defend these charges. And I want everyone to know that it is completely baseless and I am totally innocent."

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

THUNE: These premiums are going up a little bit b/c of the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

VITALI: I think people hearing their premiums are doubling don't feel that it's a little bit

T: I'm just saying only a small part of that is attributable to the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

🚨IRS, FBI, Federal Marshals, MPD, DEA, ICE, HLS, and ATF here to “investigate” this woman. Suspicious for being black? The regime has made their white supremacism clear. The time for us to reject it is NOW!

Venezuela looks like it will get a US bailout of up to 40 billion dollars whilst they’re responsible for all these illegal drug shipments.
When Trump claimed Mexico was doing the same he built a wall, he didn’t give them billions of dollars.
Make it make sense.

From protest laws to deaths in custody, Minns’ rush to claim the conservative high ground is clumsy and costly

At almost every opportunity, the NSW premier chooses a conservative path: get the cops on side and let nobody fault Labor’s toughness on crime. It’s not working * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast There is a lesson for Chris Minns in the NSW supreme court’s declaration that police powers to deal with protesters near places of worship are invalid: laws curtailing civil liberties should never be rushed.
