Hope he means it. I mean, it's not like they did a lot to folks in the Bush administration who lied us into war.

Here's why: In 2021, Democrats voted to increase financial help for people buying health insurance through HealthCare.gov. In 2022, we extended this assistance through the end of 2025.

Gentle reminder: Giants 13, Saints 3 in second quarter this past Sunday. Frankly, I wish both of them could lose, but I still would have to bet on Philly to win this. Maybe next year, Giants' fans.

You don't blow up Venezuelan & Colombian boats in international waters -- killing 21 people -- and expect a Nobel Peace Prize.

"So he was a serial killer. I knew he was a serial killer, I was OK with it. But I really had to draw the line at the 328th victim. That's just too much."

She seriously said that??? If what she said were true, isn't that proof enough that whatever crime is theoretically happening in Portland, Portland is perfectly capable of handling it themselves without fed gov assistance?

We know he has zero medical training, though he still is educated. But when you hear statements like that, you know we are listening to a broken brain.

Performative bullshit. There's no need to discuss this with Johnson. He knows what he is doing. Dems can get her sworn in another way, they don't have to wait on this asshole and the ceremonial process.

Lying, demented or both.

Chicago police should have started arresting them. Imagine if a citizen tear gassed them.

Illinois and every state governor who cares about the rule of law need to go through their local judicial systems to do the same. First thing Monday!!!
