Leavitt: "The NYT took about 1/3 of the president's daily calendar & schedule & said that he's doing less than he did in his first term, or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it's deeply unfortunate that the story was written ... he is taking meetings around the clock"

Steve Bannon says there's a plan for a third Trump term in 2028 — despite such a move being unconstitutional.

"There's many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan is, but there's a plan and President Trump will be the president in '28."

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

"Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

MSNBC: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now Trump's border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents win government contracts in a second Trump admin.

Trump's DOJ just shut down the investigation into Homan's actions.
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

The ADL center for extremism looked at 429 deaths from 2015-24 and of those, 76% were attributed to right-wing extremists.

VP JD Vance is incorrect.

This is the second time in one year the FBI has visited me over a document I lawfully published.

If you want to know why media constantly refuses to publish things, here's why.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?
