The corruption is breathtaking.
"President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him...."

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.
These two gotta go.

What would the reaction be if Democratic politicians went on TV every week to talk about how scary and dangerous Louisiana was, or how bleak and depressing life in rural Mississippi is, or how Oklahoma ranks last in education and “God, can you imagine being from there?”

Imagine if Schumer and Jeffries said this: President Trump is "using the Justice Department and other agencies to pry into the lives of Americans. They’re rifling through people’s mortgage documents. And then knowingly spreading lies about what they found far and wide."

It's pretty cowardly to white wash him. If you're gonna embrace him, be honest about who he is.

Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

I really never thought I'd be reposting Bill Kristol.
Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.”
Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.”
There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

Out for a stroll on another incredible Chicago day. This is ‘meet me on Milwaukee,’ a car free event in the Wicker Park neighborhood. Happy people & happy dogs everywhere. Remember this when Trump tries to paint an ugly picture of our beautiful city. #chicago
