I invite you to be new threads to weave new networks that harmonize every aspect of life for a renewed society in which time is imbued with eternity, culture preserves memory and fosters dialogue, education promotes the search for truth with a critical spirit, art awakens wonder and gives rise to noble emotions, business recognizes the dignity of each person, and work continues to be a driving force for hope. #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/2IeHrzWmSb
Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.
Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.
Among the many offensive things about Hegseth's D-Day speech in France was that he lectured our allies on their commitment to freedom, while the @POTUS drags his feet and coddles Putin rather than standing with Ukraine.
$15 minimum wage.
Paid leave.
Expanded child tax credits.
The progress we've made in Illinois didn't happen by accident — it happened because working people organized and fought for it.
Bill Pulte has shown that he will go into Americans' personal records to weaponize the government against people. I have a fundamental problem with someone like that being the Director of National Intelligence, and it should send a shiver down the spine of every American.
A great turnout in Portland, Maine.
The people of Maine and all across the country are saying NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism and NO to endless wars.
Graham and Troy will take on the billionaire class and fight for a disappearing middle class.
Thank you, Maine!
Over the weekend, Senate Democrats successfully challenged Republicans’ attempt to give $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to President Trump’s ballroom.
This is a big win, and we’ll continue to fight against such a colossal waste of resources as they scramble to redraft.
BREAKING: Governor J.B. Pritzker CRUSHES Donald Trump with six simple words after his latest deranged attack: "Keep Chicago out of your mouth."
This is what a real leader sounds like...
"J.B. Pritzker is a slob of a governor," Trump, the most slobbish President in history, told reporters. "You know, he could call me and I'd send the National Guard and Chicago would have no crime. Look at Washington, D.C. Did you see the crime stats? It's down to like nothing."
In reality, flooding the National Guard into Chicago would create nothing but chaos and likely result in more avoidable deaths. Look at what happened when Trump sent his ICE goons into Minnesota. Alex Pretti and Renee Good ended up dead.
"People go to restaurants now, new restaurants. Restaurants were all being closed in Washington," Trump continued. "And now they're building new restaurants. It's a hot city. We have a beautiful city. We have very little crime, almost no crime."
"And we could have the same thing in Chicago. All he'd have to do is say, President, I don't want to have any crime in Chicago," he continued. "Can you help me? Three months, Chicago would be a different place."
The idea that Trump — an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, and alleged pedophile — has any interest in upholding the law is laughable. He cares about his own power and about demonizing Democrats. Asking Trump to help Chicago battle crime is like asking an arsonist to help put out a fire.
"What about the Mayor Brandon [Johnson]?" a reporter asked.
"What can I say? He's so bad. He's so bad," said Trump.
Tellingly, he had no real criticisms to level at Johnson. He's too lazy and uninformed for that. Instead, he's relying on his MAGA base's ignorance to do the heavy-lifting for him. He says someone's "bad" and his gullible supporters believe him.
As for us, we stand with Governor Pritzker and the wonderful people of Chicago. Keep the fascists ou!
Do you think that Pritzker would make a good President?
Please ❤️ and share if you'd vote for Pritzker for President!
Don’t get caught up in the Washington horse race reporting on Republican Rep. Thomas Massie losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger. Massie lost because he worked with Democrats and Republicans to force Trump to release the Epstein Files. That’s why Trump wanted him gone.
BREAKING: After 80 long days, four Republicans voted with Democrats and helped advance our War Powers Resolution that would rein in Trump's illegal war.
Our troops and the American people have paid enough.
I am grateful that the International Advisory Group on Investment Attraction and Economic Development of Ukraine is working – and working actively. Today, together with Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, government officials, and the Office team, we discussed two important points.
First, a comprehensive economic strategy will be prepared. We need steps that will deliver stronger economic growth for Ukraine and create more opportunities for our people to stay in the country and build jobs in Ukraine.
Second, we are preparing for the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk. The conference is scheduled for June, and we need to ensure strong results in the interests of Ukraine’s resilience and rapid recovery.
I thank everyone who stands with our state. I am grateful to the members of the Group who took part in the meeting: Ajay Banga, Marta Kos, Rishi Sunak, Wolfgang Ischinger, heads and representatives of the International Finance Corporation, Bank of America, BlackRock, CITI bank, the EIB, Fortescue, General Atlantic, McKinsey & Company, Siemens Energy, Deutsche Bank, Vestas Wind Systems, Citigroup, Investor AB, Lazard, ArcelorMittal, State Street Corporation, and others.
The President just used his power to exempt himself and his family from audits on every tax return they've ever filed.
If that is not corruption to the highest degree, then what is?
