I heard there was a U.S credit downgrade by Moody’s. Guess which Governor helped Illinois get nine credit rate increases in six years? I’m sure he’d be willing to give some tips.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

Just a reminder. Trump’s dumb posts about Taylor Swift & Bruce Springsteen are meant to distract. Today, he doesn’t want you talking about his “big beautiful bill” cutting Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for his mega-donors & mega-rich pals.

It speaks to Donald's breathtaking incompetence that he spent this morning moaning about Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift instead of whipping votes for his "big beautiful budget bill" he pretended to care so much about.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

I'll be protesting Saturday. I hear a lot of people get paid to protest. Does anyone have a link to a Soros app where I can apply to be paid for protesting? Do these jobs come with benefits? Maybe I need to post on Truth Social to find where to apply. I don't see the jobs posted on Indeed.
