You may be the hackiest reporter in a world of hacky reporters if you state a fact and then tell viewers "you can see if that's true or not." It's your *job* to know if what you just said is true or not. This is not acceptable cover for a lie.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

Trump suggesting he would let Iran take out San Diego or Los Angeles is absolutely absurd. There’s just never a bottom with this administration.

Gov. Shapiro: RFK is playing games with people’s lives here in Pennsylvania.” He won’t even acknowledge the deaths here in Pennsylvania. He actually accused me of fabricating it and making it up, even when the families of those loved ones who have perished have expressed their sadness and grief.

Gov. Shapiro: We’re going to go as far as we can to show that we believe in science, to protect access to vaccines. If RFK tries to take something away from our public health system here in Pennsylvania, as he has… I sued and won. We’re going to stand up for science and stand up against RFK Jr.

Hey MAGA! Tonight Trump just offered Los Angeles and San Diego as nuclear targets to our enemies. "You can take them out. It would be a small price to pay." This is not funny, folks. He's turned into a madman. He offered to sell our military weapons to China last week. 25th Amendment time.
