I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

It's easy extend subsidies, restore funding for everything "till they have time to look at it"

They want to change to a new type of tire "that might fly" having driven us off the cliff. Dems are desperately trying to steer us to a soft landing

See how easy messaging is

They're also saying they can't

And as she put it

If you'd just follow the constitution and my previous order and all the other court orders we wouldn't need to do this

They surrounded one woman with people from ICE, ATF,FBI, IRS and who other agencies

We need more details

Duh...

They're also calling leftists terrorists

Read Trump's EO that ignores right wing groups, assassinations and assassination attempts against democrats but blames the majority and declares us as just short of terrorists or actual

Play Fox and Republicans talking about democrats

Labeling Antifa as a domestic "terrorist organization" may be absurd, but it could have some very real implications, allowing Trump to crack down on ordinary American citizens.

When are you going to start covering

This is a standard Republican tactic

I'm sure @nicollewallace.bsky.social @michaelsteele.bsky.social are familiar with it

Maybe you could just once talk about what you and your party did...

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

They were really nervous. Shelby's dad starts a new job, in a new career, when they get back and he'll be working in an office, rather than from home for the first time in a long time and vacation time won't be a generous. And they're visiting dear, old friends.
