Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Good for him putting a stop to the gaslighting, and sparing his audience. I'd like to see a lot more off this, but I'm not holding my breath.

Trump: "Literally, you walk over from Iran to Qatar. You can walk it in one second. You go, boom, boom, and now you're in Qatar."

Qatar and Iran do not share a land border.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

GS: “Did Homan keep the $50,000 bribe?”

VANCE: “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” 🤔

GS: “You didn’t answer the Q… We’ll be right back.”

GS gets fed up with Vance’sabsurd lying and gaslighting — and eventually cuts him off mid-sentence.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

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."

Suddenly the military is getting paid on the 15th?

It would’ve been easier to call Johnson, but he didn’t.

This validates his fear of the Epstein files.

When robbing the military piggy bank, is a better option than simply having the house pass a standalone bill to fund the military - it’s bad.
