Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.
Q. Would you have certified the 2020 election? JD Vance: No. “I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and ask the country to have a debate” Disqualifying

Excited to share our first ad! Voters are sick and tired of the dysfunction in Congress, and they deserve better than Juan Ciscomani putting politics over Arizonans. I look forward to being a leader in Congress for all my constituents, just as I was when I served in the Arizona Legislature. #AZ06

Second Gentleman @DouglasEmhoff was asked what he thinks about attacks on his wife, Vice-President Kamala Harris, by former President Trump. Emhoff: “That’s all he’s got?” Emhoff goes onto say: “You heard the Vice President yesterday making the case against Donald Trump. Very clearly laid out the case, directly and in a compelling fashion. But she also laid out a vision for the future. A vision where there's freedom. Where we're not having to talk about these issues of today in this post Dobbs Hellscape that Donald Trump created.” “…We're gonna prosecute the case against Donald Trump and his lies, his gaslighting, during COVID, the dereliction of duty, inciting an insurrection and all those other things.” “We're gonna make that very clear. She's gonna be able to make that case. We’re also gonna move on from this type of environment, this Dobbs, where freedoms are taken away, where autonomy is taken away. Where they're telling you, you can't read this book. They're telling you you can't learn these facts. They're telling you can't vote. All that is gonna change and it must change. You see the enthusiasm, you see the excitement. You saw the money raised, you saw the party coalesce. You saw the broad base of support that she had in just one or two days because she's talking about an America that we all have a place in. And that's why Kamala Harris, who I'm so proud of, I'm also so proud of the president. I got choked up yesterday in Wilmington when he called in. All of us did. What a great man. Love Joe Biden. But, Kamala Harris has united the party. She's gonna unite the country. She’s gonna earn this nomination. You see that happening and she's gonna win this election.”

Former Trump AG Bill Barr on Trump's federal indictment: "If even half of it is true, then he's toast. I mean, it's a very detailed indictment, and it's very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here -- a victim of a witch hunt -- is ridiculous."

“To see the full scale of Donald Trump’s betrayal of his country, it is necessary to recognize that he kept intelligence documents because, at some point, those secrets could be used in a transaction. What he was stockpiling were the materials of treason.” nybooks.com/online/2023/06/1…

I want to thank again every American who voted for Biden. When you were celebrating Trump is no longer a threat to humanity, I was drinking champagne for the historical moment too. But little did I know that moment would save soo many lives in #Ukraine️. You & your @POTUS are 😎
