Looking forward to flying into Indianapolis or Des Moines to clear customs and then connecting up to Chicago. Said no one ever.

Faulkner: "Sanctuary cities include Boston, Chicago, Denver, LA, NY, Philadelphia, SF. All of those airports handle 1,100 int'l flights per day. They're not just gonna not fly. They're gonna go to red states and cities. A boon for red states. People will just really hate living in blue states."

Trump: "With the longest range possible and they had some weapons that nobody believed they had. We just learned that out. We took 'em out. We took 'em all out so that no one would really dare stop them."

This kid really needs to get laid.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

He’s got more important business down there than running the country into the ground.

Trump was in DC until late last night but still chose to fly down to Mar-a-Lago on taxpayers dime only to return to Washington later today. Personally, I am tired of paying for a geriatric drug addict’s freak offs. He does down there for sex, drugs & golf.

I don't think it gets mentioned enough that Bovino is a member of the civil service. He is not a political appointee. Yet he still engages in constant open partisanship while in uniform and with a DHS flag behind him.

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Investigations don’t start with names. They start with crimes: Falsifying business records Mishandling classified docs Pedophilia Things like that.

Trump on who he wants investigated: "Soros is a name certainly that I keep hearing. I don't know. I hear a lot of different names. I hear names of some pretty rich people that are radical left people. Maybe I hear about a guy named Reid Hoffman."

But don’t call ‘em Nazis

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Wilson’s stroke. Reagan’s Alzheimer’s. Biden’s age. They all had competent teams that governed when the president was diminished. These sycophants throw him out there and let him ramble daily to avoid confronting what we all see. This moron should be nowhere near that office.

President Donald Trump has approved a partnership between US Steel and Nippon Steel, the companies say, including a national security agreement with the US government. cnn.it/4kAz6ff

With all the Elon/Trump goodness, “We can not build bananas in America” was still the quote of the day. Well done, Congresswoman Dean.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Because of tariffs, it’s now cheaper to buy a finished computer or phone from China than to build one here from parts bought from other countries. That’s backward. These tariffs punish American businesses and workers so a politician can pretend he's tough.

I still want to know how the rest of the world is taking advantage of us.
