He was one of the worse governors in our history, with the possible exception of Fallin and the current village idiot. He started the destruction of our educational system, destroyed Right to Work, weakened environmental laws..I could go on and on, but there's just not enough room.

Paul Ingrassia’s nomination to head the Office of Special Counsel is at risk because of his history of scorched-earth rhetoric and extremist associations.
In a May 2023 post on X, he suggested that “the descendants of slaves pay reparations to slave owners.”

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, I've been told that, in essence, there are two things that physicians can't do at the White House medical unit: MRIs and surgeries. Virtually anything else can be done there if you have to or want to.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

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.
