Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

God doesn’t need any “saving” by the like of you, Eric.

Tweet by Aaron Rupar showing a quote from Eric Trump on “The Benny Show.” Eric Trump says: “We’re saving Christianity. We’ve saving God. We’ve saving the family unit. We’re saving this nation... You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell... We have a return to people going to church.” Below is a screenshot from the show with Benny Johnson and Eric Trump speaking side by side.

Someone in their twenties is not a boy; they are men. They learned this hate from their families; it's intergenerational hate. It's time to acknowledge the real problem: the adults who enable and promote this dangerous ideology, like yourself, JD.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.

When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges.

When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.
