I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that.
The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.
Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.”
And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
What can we do to get ready to go into midterms? Make sure we have a candidate on every ballot in every race in every district in every state…
No seat uncontested.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.
If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.
Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody…

Everyone that authored project 2025 deserves prison time. This wasn’t a policy, it was an attack.
