It was the easiest, one question, open book test in American history. And we are all suffering due to their failure. I will never forget, and never forgive the people who did this to us.

That's the goal all along. Tear down the country for his buddy Vlad and let the oligarchs pick up the pieces for pennies on the dollar.

$230 million is chump change, right? 😡 You sir are also an amateur lawmaker and a professional sycophant.

Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

It's going to be glorious when President Buttigieg turns the Trump ballroom into a history museum, honoring America's contributions to civil rights, equality, and diversity, and an educational library extoling its contributions to science.

We made it home from #NoKings at the Capital in Lansing MI. Great turnout, joyous crowd and no agitators! Here’s a pic of my son’s puppet in the crowd, same pic I just zeroed in on him in the 2nd one. He was a big hit!

It was pretty hooping here in Chicago, as well. June rally had good attendance, with tens of thousands of people attending. Today was *much* bigger. We were told over 300,000 people showed up.
