Burgum: "There's a whole industry that's been weaponized to try to use regulatory attacks -- whether it's endangered species, whether it's the NEPA environmental protections -- to try to stop building infrastructure in this country."

PSA: The No Kings PAC is not affiliated with and had no role in putting on the 10/18 mobilization. If you get a spammy text from them claiming your donation will be 5x matched, know that it's not from anyone involved in the No Kings protest (and please direct your angry emails to them, not us)
Wow..that’s another weird coincidence
There were four banks that waited until after Epstein was arrested in 2019 to report his suspicious activities. One was the Bank of New York Mellon. The “anonymous” donor who gave $130M to “pay the military” was Timothy Mellon.
Weird huh 🙄

It's really impressive to watch how little they've got and how bad they're flailing.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

Why is Trump celebrating in a foreign country while Americans are going without a paycheck and millions are on the verge of losing SNAP?
This is correct.
His cult keeps saying “well, he was elected president, he doesn’t have to follow the rules now” but the correct attitude is “well, he was elected president, and therefore he has to follow the rules.”
He even swore an oath to do that. Honest!

He was elected president, and as president, his highest duty is to ensure that the laws of the land be executed faithfully. His job is to uphold the constitutional order, not tear it down and remake it in his image.
In Trump’s world, telling the truth is a crime and deserves punishment. Reagan was a committed free trader and the Canadian summary of the speech was spot on.
Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
If—and this is a huge "if"—it allows the unilateral presidential imposition of tariffs at all, IEEPA does so only in the context of an "unusual and extraordinary threat ... to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States."
Which of those is "Trump got his feelings hurt"?

BREAKING: Trump says he's punishing Canada with 10% extra import tax for not pulling down an anti-tariff ad sooner.
I’m sure Bessent was out on the back forty under the hood of his combine and had to be dragged into this interview.
Bessent on American farmers being hurt by tariffs: "Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too."
Trump, last year: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.”
