STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?
MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement
STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement
Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
CNN: When the jobs report comes out, are you going to believe the numbers?
REP. RANDY FINE: Um, I'm going to look at the numbers. Look, the people who put these numbers together are human & fallible and make mistakes
C: It wasn't that they make mistakes
F: Numbers always tend to benefit the left
We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.
This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.
They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.
That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.
One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.
This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.
Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months.
That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw lines—we’re holding the line: on democracy.
Inflation again rising while nonfarm payrolls totaled only 73,000 for July, below even the meager market expectations for a gain of 100,000. June and May totals were revised sharply lower to near zero. The weakest pace of growth since the onset of the 2020 pandemic.
Despite the fact that Ford manufactures most of its vehicles in the U.S., the company relies on parts imported from outside of the country and was also hit hard by new fees on steel and aluminum. 2/2
Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.
ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
"We're literally conducting an amazing science experiment, which is if you replaced the top of the government of the world's big hyperpower with a gang of chimpanzees from a local circus, how bad could it go?" Mike Murphy talks the long-term costs of incompetence with @timmiller.bsky.social

Trump: "The most powerful woman in the world is here today -- Susie Wiles, stand up please. Chief of staff. She can take out a country with a mere phone call."
Nothing says "Trump has nothing to hide" like...ducking out of town to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.
The defensiveness and evasion around this is absurd — and it won't make any of it go away. The Trump Admin needs to release ALL the Epstein files NOW.
they literally shut the government down in order to avoid the truth about Epstein. an entire branch of government isn’t working for the American people b/c they are terrified of the truth.
Krishnamoorthi: My theory is that the Jeffrey Epstein stuff contributes to people’s distrust of the administration—such that they’re starting to open their eyes a little bit to the other problems that beset them.
With wages failing to keep pace, researchers find that consumers’ real spending power decreased by 4%, on average. The rich are getting richer and wage earning average Americans can’t even go to the movies and dinner. Explain the big picture! www.cnbc.com/2025/06/13/m...
It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
Mike Pence has the courage!
"Release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution. ... Anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny."

President Donald Trump's public approval rating on immigration fell in recent weeks to 41%, the lowest since his return to the White House, as Americans took a dour view of heavy-handed tactics, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Wednesday found reut.rs/4nTJOQ2
People aren’t talking enough about how Baltimore and Mayor Brandon Scott have drastically lowered homicides/shootings with the “woke” policies Republicans love to disparage.
As a public health issue, not as a way to enrich private prison friends.

He doesn't seem to remember Epstein died on his watch, now he doesn't even remember appointing Powell.
Unfit. Unwell. And there's no way to unseat this SOB because of the supine GOP-led Congress.
