Trump, earlier this evening in Iowa, said this:

“We need people to come in legally, but they have to show that they can love our country, not hate our country…They have to show that they can love our country. They have to be proud. Not like Ilhan Omar.”

Brooke Rollins suggested Americans can meet their nutritional needs with $3 meals built around chicken, broccoli, a tortilla, and one other item.

I tried out this diet in my latest for @thebulwark.com:

To see if the Trump admin's $3 meals is possible, @jaredpoland.bsky.social at nothing but chicken, broccoli, and rice for every meal for three days.

I have basically been doing that (sometimes sub in salmon) for 90% of my meals for the last 20 years lol. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-joy-in-...

So does Karoline Leavitt believe only biased reporters with right-wing opinions should have seats in the press briefing room?

I mean, Riley Gaines is in the room asking questions.
Leavitt: “Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?”

Reporter: “Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably.”

Leavitt: “So you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion…You are not a reporter…You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat.”
