We’re where we are because of a crisis of accountability.

There must be a reckoning.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

We need another phrase besides “strong man” to describe Donald Trump. Dude needs two hands to drink a bottle of water. He’s not strong.

“The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.'"

There is no better explanation for malignant narcissism than this video:

The irony of Abbott — who uses a wheelchair for mobility — telling another governor to “do some pushups” while the chryon reads, “The Left’s Alternate Reality” is almost too much to bear.

Do some pushups?

Abbott can talk the talk but he can’t walk the walk.

So this is the difficulty. Not just how do we get to a deal, but how do we get to a deal we trust will be honored when Johnson is here *promising* to let Trump impound and take back whatever he wants from what they pass?

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

A law professor is probably writing an article right now explaining how Trump has the authority to fire the Nobel Committee.

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."

I talked to a guy once that knew a guy that was cousins with a woman that used to eat broccoli and then she got cancer and died. I'm disgusted. Big Broccoli needs to be brought down. We need to end the deep state broccoli takeover before we lose our country to these radicals.

Years ago I was teaching my gun history class and at the end of the quarter one of the students said that he was in the campus TPUSA chapter and they put him up to taking the class to spy on me but he felt bad about that because he loved the class and learned a lot and had a great time

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..
