"Trump’s Justice Swings for Bolton’s Head"

Trump’s revenge tour isn’t slowing down; it’s swinging harder. Bolton’s next up at bat, and this time, the pitch isn’t justice. It’s payback, wrapped in prosecution.

May your day be a great one. Many in Canada start the Thanksgiving weekend today. Since today is the Nobel Prize in Peace, I forward a symbol to remind you to make peace personally and push whatever nation you are in to push it too. UKRAINE.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
