Kristi Noem said the quiet part out loud that the Trump regime wants โ€œthe right people voting.โ€ I expose the threat behind her comments and promise that she will face consequences from the voters of America.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it โ€ฆ.

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Gallego: Lutnick knew he did something wrong because he lied about it. So clearly, you did something wrong. You knew you were doing something wrong. You should not have been associating with this man โ€” and yet you did.

And now weโ€™re supposed to believe everything you say when youโ€™ve already lied?

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weโ€™ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeโ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Throwback to Pam Bondiโ€™s campaign ad for Florida AG:

Todayโ€™s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.
