Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

Don’t tell me that Democrats need to suck up to billionaires to win.
Democrats won elections on big policy ideas: universal child care, more affordable housing, reducing utility costs, and lowering health care costs.
Affordability — not the billionaire agenda — won across America.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

Donald Trump is sending $40 billion to Argentina. I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.
The cost of everything from groceries to utilities to health care is up.
My new bill is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to survive in Trump's economy.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

Rents are up nearly 4% — the largest increase since 2011.
Natural gas prices are up 14%.
The cost of meat, fish, and eggs is up over 5%.
And now some families will see their health insurance premiums go up by $22,000 a year.
