2017 TRUMP: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

2025 TRUMP: “Thank you, Qatar, for my free $400,000,000 personal jet!”

TRUMP, a few months later: “I'm letting Qatar be the first foreign nation to build a military base on US soil.”

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

I am never going to be a fan of a politician. That way lies disappointment. But Pritzker right now is the person I think is calibrating it right.

This isn’t negotiating about social security with W. You either get that or you don’t.

US District Judge Sara Ellis in a hearing over ICE protests in Chicago:

"I can't tell you how many judges have been doxxed. I can't tell you how many judges have received death threats. … It's unfortunately part of the cost of doing business as a public servant in government."

She had no less than seven holes in her body from the shooting.

Martinez is a US citizen.

ICE agents shot a US citizen on US soil at least seven times. Her car was riddled with bullets.

I'm glad she's been released pending trial, but surely the agent who shot her should face charges?

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Trump wants his face on our currency and Mount Rushmore. He thinks he deserves a Nobel Prize. He even claims to be the "Chosen One."

On a scale of 1 to 10, Trump's narcissism scores 1,000.

"President of the United States" is absolutely the LAST job this selfish, evil person should have.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?
