Convinced his job is to make Congress even more hesitant to dump Trump.
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Trump’s Tariffs would be held illegal if the Constitution’s separation of powers were taken seriously. Hell, they’d be struck down by Trump’s Supreme Court if its Major Questions Doctrine and its commitments to original meaning and textualism were consistently applied to Article I and IEEPA. 🔥

Trump said he was not joking about the possibility of seeking a third term, claiming a lot of people wanted him to pursue it. While he emphasized he was focused on the current, he hinted at the existence of methods to make it happen.

Details about a flight of immigrants that landed many days ago? Too secret to reveal.

Details about an imminent military strike? Not classified, not a breach of national security and not a big deal.

Secrets under Trump depend on who asks and who tells.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Sen. Langford: “Let me be clear, if you committed a crime, if you're here illegally, there must be consequences.”

Trumpers on Trump’s conviction: “The law doesn’t matter.”

They are unpatriotic hypocrites bent on destroying the rule of law to attain power.
Addressing the immigration challenges in America, Sen. Langford just said on Meet The Press, 'Let me be clear, if you committed a crime, if you're here illegally, there must be consequences.'

I assume that means all illegal immigrants will be receiving an "unconditional discharge" as a sentence?
