HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “I know you're flustered now, and it is…”
CNN’s Dana Bash: “I'm not flustered at all.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Do you see your job as ending vaccine hesitancy, or do you see your job as telling the truth to the American people?”
Dana Bash: “I see my job as telling the truth. And the truth is that there is study after study after study. It's one of the most studied things out there in science.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “You're repeating it like a parrot. You're repeating it like a parrot.”
“I have actually read the science.”
“Let's you and I come back here and debate the science.”
Dana Bash: “I'm not debating this with you.”
Robert F. Kennedy: “Of course you won't. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say, trust the experts.”
“That's what you did during COVID. Now we know that Anthony Fauci, who was the expert, was lying about everything, about masks, about the social distancing, about natural immunity, about the transmission from the vaccine, about the source of COVID.”
“[Fauci] was lying, and you were punishing people for not trusting the experts. And now you're rolling out the experts again to talk about something that you have no personal knowledge of.”
“Your job is to tell the truth to the American public.”

RFK just called out Dana Bash for the media's role in lying to America about covid:
"All you know how to do is repeat things people told you and say 'trust the experts.' That's what you did during the covid. Now, we know that Dr. Fauci, the expert, was lying about everything... And now you're rolling out the experts again for something you have no personal knowledge of."

Today in 1984, the best second baseman in baseball took the best closer in baseball deep in consecutive innings on national television. I hope Ryno and Bruce Sutter are hanging out today in heaven having more fun than any of us sharing stories.

I KNEW IT
As soon as I heard that voice, I knew it was Cole Hauser, but I couldn’t confirm it because his name wasn’t on it anywhere and it took me forever to confirm it.
I think it’s cool that they used his voice because @colehauser has kinda become a representation of what a good decent man should be, in real life and on TV as Rip Wheeler.
“What makes a good man” being a good father, a good husband, and someone who unabashedly loves their country for what it stands for.

Nope. @GovPritzker is the best governor in America.
Look at all these categories Illinois is number one in.
#1 in highest property taxes
#1 in highest combined state/local tax burden
#1 in cell phone taxes
#1 in local government bureaucracy
#1 in fiscal instability
#1 in worst state pension crisis
#1 in state pension debt
#1 in pension debt per capita
#1 in lowest bond ratings
#1 in public corruption convictions
#1 in biggest gas tax increase since 2019
#1 in eliminating school choice
#1 in lowest fiscal transparency
#1 in gerrymandering
Pritzker is #1!

You're gonna want to be sitting down when you open your energy bill for June. Electricity rates in Illinois went up more than 15% yet again on June 1st.
Turns out decreasing supply by closing cleaner natural gas plants too soon while increasing demand with data centers leads to skyrocketing costs for working families, small businesses, and manufacturers.
Who could've predicted that? Many of us did. For years. But Pritzker cared more about lining up talking points for his national ambitions than helping everyday Illinoisans. – at Joliet, IL

A narcissist never loses.
There’s always someone else to blame.
This week, it’s the Bears.
Gov. JB Pritzker took aim at the Chicago Bears during a press conference, saying the team had some “fumbles,” lacked a “complete plan,” and “didn’t show up for the end of session.”
It’s hard to imagine the Bears wanting to partner with a governor publicly criticizing them while Indiana leaders are rolling out the red carpet and welcoming them with open arms.

RAW VIDEO: I Cornered Pritzker About The Chicago Bears — And He Refused To Answer 🚨
I went to Gov. Pritzker's presser today and here's what happened:
Gov. Pritzker said he didn't want taxpayers spending billions to help a billionaire family keep the Chicago Bears in Chicago. But he's a billionaire himself. 💰
And he's been more than happy — even proud — to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens.
So I asked him: "We all know the Bears generate revenue. Illegal aliens typically are a drain on taxpayer dollars. Do you think long-term, especially when you're running for President of the United States, losing the Chicago Bears will be a bad decision?"
Pritzker refused to answer. Instead, he blamed Greg Abbott and defended spending billions on illegal aliens.
So I followed up: "Would those taxpayer dollars have been better spent on American citizens?" Pritzker refused to answer that, too.
When a governor can't answer a straight question from a reporter, taxpayers should ask themselves why. #thatreporter

Ben Johnson presser takeaways:
▪️ Roles aren’t being earned yet that starts in training camp. But communication has improved.
▪️ Ball placement is a daily priority. They’re grading Caleb ABCDF in QB meetings, individual, 7-on-7 and team periods. Ben said Caleb has taken it to heart.
▪️ Caleb is doing a better job carrying meeting-room work onto the practice field. Doesn’t need a ton of reps.
▪️ Colston Loveland has been one of the most consistent young players Ben has been around. Advanced in the playbook, always taking notes, good in pressure moments, trusted by QBs/coaches, and his route tree has taken another step.
▪️ Kalif Raymond is not just a gadget guy. Ben praised his vertical push, urgency off the ball, inside/outside versatility, elite quickness and motivation.
▪️ Minicamp goals: establish the standard, handle business, run after catch, pursuit, takeaways and ball security.
▪️ Ben says he’s evolved as a play caller more situational, more focused on tailoring the offense to the guys available and getting playmakers the ball in space.
▪️ Darnell Wright stood out for his professionalism and approach. Ben called him a powerful, right-side tone-setter who can displace people in the run game.
▪️ On defenses having more tape on Caleb: Ben said the priority is mastering core plays first then the exotic stuff can come. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

Pritzker is the anti-Harry Truman. The buck DOESN’T stop here. He’s blaming the Bears for leaving when it’s his job to protect the interests of the people of Illinois. Pritzker will spend $2.5 billion to keep illegal immigrants here, but not a penny to keep the Bears.

The Freedom Caucus gets it. This is the most terrifying bill I’ve seen in my 20 year professional career.
I live in the state with the highest tax burden, highest corruption, and lowest bond rating in the country for 13 consecutive years. I’ve seen a lot of bad stuff.
If this bill passes the Senate and Gov. Pritzker signs it, as is, you need to pray your community never sees a megaproject nearby.
Every single dollar of property tax relief for billionaires can be dropped on the heads of other taxpayers. This means you.
The bill sponsor admitted this 3 times today.
A single $5B Megaproject could kick off $330M+ in property tax burdens on other taxpayers.
Why are we bailing out billionaires to screw everyone else? This isn’t a game @GovPritzker. You need to put an end to this.
🚨JUST PASSED THE HOUSE🚨
The Illinois House just passed HB910 - the Mega Projects Bill (the bill containing a Chicago Bears Stadium Deal)
This bill is one of the most dangerous property tax bills passed in recent history. The Illinois Freedom Caucus voted NO, and here is why:
As this bill is written now:
- Gives mega projects and billionaire corporations hundreds of millions of dollars in property tax breaks, while shifting the burden to local property owners. The result? Taxing people out of their homes and decimating middle class families.
- Brings no comprehensive tax relief to everyday families and small businesses. As the House is bending over backwards to support mega projects, they have no real plan to help working families.
- Opens up constitutional concerns about unfair and unequal taxation, potentially resulting in a legal challenge and opening the state up to unknown fiscal liabilities.
As Republicans, we are supposed to believe in lowering taxes and protecting taxpayers. That is why it's extremely concerning to see several Republican lawmakers voted YES on this bill. We believe these votes completely undermine the credibility of our colleagues in the Republican caucus to talk about property taxes, the number one issue in Illinois.
Let us be clear, we want the Bears to stay in Illinois, and we want other future economic developments in Illinois as well. We are not opposed to the concept of mega projects. However, as has been our position since day 1, bailouts for billion dollar corporations on the backs of working families and taxpayers are completely unacceptable.
This process has been shoved down our throats this week because JB Pritzker and the Democrats are desperate to keep the Bears in Illinois, no matter the consequences to property tax payers. The Democrats have made Illinois so economically unviable to do business that large corporations such as the Bears have no choice but to look to other states, like Indiana.
The Democrats and JB Pritzker need to find a new plan, and ditch their tired old habits of solving every problem by sticking it to Illinois' taxpayers. They can't afford it anymore.

When the new Bears Megaproject bill - HB 910 - drops I will be analyzing it line-by-line here on X. Good or bad.
As it stands, it would be a disaster for non-Megaproject property taxpayers. Instead of property tax certainty, it’s more accurately described as a property tax swap bill. In Arlington Heights alone, it could shift more than $300M in property tax hikes onto surrounding communities in Cook County per year, once construction is completed.
Another proposed $20B Megaproject in the bill sponsor’s backyard - One Central - could receive $600M-700M/year in property tax breaks/swaps once completed.
Together, just two megaprojects could shift $1B/year in property tax hikes onto neighbors. Horrific!
Yesterday, House Democrats waived third reading bill deadlines for HB 910. It was due last week, but has been extended to the end of May.
It looks like Republicans voted stop the waiver of the rules, but the vote tally doesn’t appear online.
