Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

I didn’t come anywhere near this when I was on the Roosevelt (‘87-‘90) - I think we hit like 85 straight days at sea. But even that was miserable. This is an abuse of the force and will have long term repercussions

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

I would like to remind everyone that Robert Mueller was 100% correct: Russia DID help Trump, repeatedly and illegally. His investigation produced 37 indictments, and seven guilty pleas or convictions. There is only one person committing widespread election fraud: Donald Trump.

Lara Blume McGee says the AG nominee was "condescending" and tried to gaslight survivors instead of answering for the DOJ's failures. Sen. Thom Tillis praised him anyway.

About that Blue Angel Hornet low pass: 1. If you have no aviation experience, keep on walking 2. I’d have lost my wings at a minimum if I’d done that while I was in 3. The idea that Hegseth is going to wave his hand and make this go away is just another example of how unfit he is for the job

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

Sunday fact: Russia has sustained at least 1.4 million casualties in the war with Ukraine. In fact, that’s 50 percent more than the US in all of WW2 on two fronts liberating and occupying the world. Russia now controls less land than they had one month into the invasion. Slava Ukrainii!

Public safety starts with accountability. California's ongoing efforts to combat organized retail crime over the last two years are paying off: ✅ $260M in recovered stolen goods ✅ 32,613 arrests ✅ 25,843 cases referred for prosecution The results speak for themselves.
