Q: Who is Mike Johnson being threatened by? I mean, if he's not bringing the House back, releasing the Epstein files ... he seems scared

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think so ... Do I think he's really up to the task? No.

Jeffries: "If Republicans continue to refuse to extend the ACA tax credits, tens of millions of people are about to experience dramatically increased premiums ... including in the state represented by Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, in his own district, I believe premiums may increase by about 380%."

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon!

I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

BREAM: How do you deal with the noise, left and right, that you get?

AMY CONEY BARRETT: I tune it out. I only want to know what is said about me in the news on a need to know basis. If I absolutely need to know, then my assistant or my husband will tell me.

BREAM: You don't have Trump's endorsement. What does that mean?

WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: We're gonna keep working. Would I like the president's endorsement? Of course I would. He's doing really good things for America, all of the jobs he's repatriating here.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Pritzker: "Look, we've gotta rely on the courts to do the right thing. I realize that sometimes that's risky business, especially when some have been appointed by Donald Trump. But we've seen that even a Trump-appointed judge out in California has ruled against the administration."

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime?

VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe

S: It's a yes or no question

V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me

STEPHANOPOULOS: A federal judge blocked the effort to deploy troops in Chicago & said a lot of claims made in court filings lack credibility

JD VANCE: We're obviously gonna litigate this as much as we can. We think we have the authority to provide proper security to our citizens all over the US.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for Trump to direct his attorney general to indict whoever he says?

LINDSEY GRAHAM: I think it's appropriate for Comey to answer for his conduct. I think our DOJ in the hands of Biden crossed every line

W: Biden never publicly called for Trump to be indicted

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

BARTIROMO: What are the plans for military pay?

VANCE: We're doing some pretty non-conventional things to ensure our troops are able to get paid. But wouldn't it be great if the Democrats just opened up the government so that we did not have to make these very difficult decisions?
