A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

And...this entire administration has a credibility probem!

"I have found no credible evidence that there is a danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois"

María Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for democracy in Venezuela. A fierce opponent of the Maduro regime, she’s hailed for advocating a peaceful transition from dictatorship.

Trump is probably furious and preparing a TruthSocial post 😆
