If this evidence ever sees the light of day, I want prosecutors, judges, and juries to see it, but I have absolutely no interest in viewing any of it.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

The same people accusing Democrats of choosing a communist to run New York City are perfectly fine having a fascist run the country.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

Illinois has now achieved its 10th credit rating upgrade since I took office.
It reflects our continued growth in financial standing and speaks volumes to our state's commitment to fiscal discipline.
With each upgrade, it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.
These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.
