I hope you're looking out for us here in Chicago too. We just want to be left alone to eat our beefs and run into friends at Jewel.

Gas should be $10 and a bag of chips should be $2. Not the other way around.

Trump: "I think gasoline is gonna be below $2 at some point in the pretty near future."

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Mike Johnson: "It's about keeping Congress operating so we can get to healthcare. We always were going to. They're lying to you. Okay? The healthcare issues were always gonna be something discussed, deliberated, contemplated, and debated in October and November."

So, Trump promised them a spectacle in response to the assassination? I assume to assure continued financial and GOTV support?

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.
