JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

This is the moment where you should realize that the Constitution is being collapsed by Musk and Trump. The ABA doesn’t do stuff like this, it’s fundamentally conservative in nature. It’s releasing this statement because if things much further, “law” and “courts” will be useless.
