STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

☎️Take a few minutes today to call your reps and senators. They need to hear from us, especially from federal workers.

Tell them to hold the line, to not let our trauma and suffering be in vain. Force republicans to the negotiating table and remind Trump he does not yet own us all.

I've never stood for the NA. And I never will.

And I refused to recite the Pledge starting in the 3rd grade. And I never did again.

Patriotism is a vice, not a virtue. It's mass mentality and chauvinism/bigotry on a national scale.

I'm a citizen of the world; nation-states are so 1800's.

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 1d

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.

Dearest Mildred,

Antifa continues to hold control of our streets in war torn Chicago. I fear I shall not last the night, for the cheering and music may prove too much for my nervous constitution. Will this barbarity never cease?!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

I never do until reality demands it.

Unfortunately, what the evidence does strongly support is that Americans are just too lazy to care to really fight for their liberty.

A society that cares about rights/freedoms would never come to this horrifyingly low point, so it is most likely over.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
