He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

Pritzker, 18 Other Democratic Governors Call on Congress to Block Trump Tariffs β€œWe respectfully urge you to cast aside any efforts to codify the invalidated levies struck down by the Supreme Court and instead enact meaningful statutory constraints on presidential tariff power th...

Illinoisans can't afford more chaos from Trump.

The Supreme Court was clear that his tariffs were illegal β€” now it’s time for Congress to check his power.

I'm joining my fellow governors to call on them to block his tax on working families.

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.

The Enquirer November 1710 Jonathan Swift

There is one essential point wherein a political liar differs from others of the faculty; that he ought to have but a short memory, which is necessary according to the various occasions he meets with every hour, of differing from himself, and swearing to both sides of a contradiction, as he finds the persons disposed, with whom he has to deal. In describing the virtues and vices of mankind, it is convenient upon every article, to have some eminent person in our eye, from whence we copy our description. I have strictly observed this rule; and my imagination this minute represents before me a certain great man famous for this talent, to the constant practice of which he owes his twenty years' reputation of the most skilful head in England, for the management of nice affairs. The superiority of his genius consists in nothing else but an inexhaustible fund of political lies, which he plentifully distributes every minute he speaks, and by an unparalleled generosity forgets, and consequently contradicts the next half-hour

He never yet considered whether any proposition were true or false, but whether it were convenient for the present minute or company to affirm or deny it; so that if you think to refine upon him, by interpreting every thing he says, as we do dreams by the contrary, you are still to seek, and will find yourself equally deceived, whether you believe him or no: the only remedy is to suppose that you have heard some inarticulate sounds, without any meaning at all. And besides, that will take off the horror you might be apt to conceive at the oaths wherewith he perpetually tags both ends of every proposition: though at the same time I think he cannot with any justice be taxed for perjury, when he invokes God and Christ, because he has often fairly given public notice to the world, that he believes in neither.

3Some people may think that such an accomplishment as this, can be of no great use to the owner or his party, after it has been often practised, and is become notorious; but they are widely mistaken: Few lies carry the inventor's mark; and the most prostitute enemy to truth may spread a thousand without being known for the author. Besides, as the vilest writer has his readers, so the greatest liar has his believers; and it often happens, that if a lie be believed only for an hour, it has done its work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and Truth comes limping after it; so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late, the jest is over, and the tale has had its effect: like a man who has thought of a good repartee, when the discourse is changed, or the company parted: or, like a physician who has found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

Donald Trump has prioritized chaos in Iran over making life better for the American people. If your cost of living is higher today than it was a week ago, you can thank the president.

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it" but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

In January, Jeffries declined to whip against DHS funding. Then DHS murdered Alex Pretti, and Dems had to play catchup to the politics. Now Jeffries won't commit to whip against Trump's war. This isn't rocket science - unify Dems against bad and unpopular things! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Six years ago this week, an unplanned disaster engulfed the world. Trump catastrophically mismanaged it. The economy collapsed and 1m+ died.

Now reelected, he’s on the verge of topping that, only this time the disaster is entirely of his own making.

The results may be even worse.

Here in Illinois, we honor the powerful women who paved the way for our state.

Unlike Trump, we see their strength β€” and we're proud of it.

On International Women’s Day and every day, we recognize that all of us have a better future when everyone reaches their full potential.

Truth! It's horrifying that we have a president who hates everything about this country except its ability to enhance his own personal wealth, and that an entire political party would rather watch the nation be destroyed than stand up to his corruption and criminality.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem out, Trump says She will be replaced by Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Trump said Thursday.

Kristi Noem's failed leadership of a department that violated civil rights & murdered Americans is a fireable offense. But a DOJ & president who truly cared about the rule of law and the Constitution would not stop at mere termination. She must be held accountable.
