Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. Heโ€™s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics donโ€™t start with viruses they start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

To give you a sense of how things have changed, when I was vetted by the Obama administration, I was told I could not accept the position unless I removed the word "shit" from the description on a YouTube video I'd posted several years earlier

I just saw it yesterday and it definitely deserves gazillions.

WELKER: Did Elon Musk ask you to cut air traffic controllers directly?

DUFFY: We were having a conversation about, who do we preserve? I wanted in those probationary employees to preserve air traffic controllers. We went back and forth.

His answerโ€ฆtypical GOP response โ€ฆgo off onto 14,000 other things and avoid the illegality of defying habeas corpus. They are masters at that and and we take too long to parse the statement and get back to the reader or the listener, and by then people have only heard the Republican response.

BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett has made it official that she's running to be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee following Rep. Connolly's announcement that he'll be stepping down.

This is Donald Trumpโ€™s worst nightmare.

BRUSUELAS: โ€œ.. Cutting off the U.S. economy from the rest of the world without a plan to replace goods will result in shortages, higher prices and higher unemployment.

Iโ€™ve been listening to business podcast lately and one of them listed all of the Grifts that the Trump family is engaged in. Not one peep from the Republican party in Congress.

Stupid move. Either Amazon gets the blame or Trump gets the blame. Which do you think they should prefer?

Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far youโ€™ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer.

If weโ€™re deporting criminals, it looks like the deporters should be sent on the next plane

Lol. What does a good faith effort look like? Did they buy a local garage and put their name over it? Give me a fucking break.
