We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker

NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

Think hard. For years, Trump insisted the Epstein files were real and contained incriminating evidence against the Clintons and other key Democrats. Now he insists that the files themselves are fake and created by Clintons and the Democrats to frame him. He’s literally telling us he’s in ‘em!

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis is a NO on the GOP budget bill: "I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities."

DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️ Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted. 📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it. @democrats.senate.gov

Supreme court struck a major blow to democracy & the rule of law by stripping federal court judges of the power to block trump’s executive orders nationwide. This is a direct attack on the separation of powers that form the basis of our system of govt.
