@TedCruzTX blasted Democrats during a Senate floor speech, calling it “a cynical and calculated lie” that anybody other than Democrats is seeking to defund the police.
🗣 “Psaki doubled down on the idea that it is Republicans and not Democrats who want to defund the police. When a White House press secretary gives a press briefing, you expect some spin, you expect some verbal bobbing and weaving if the topic is unflattering to the administration. But when Jen Psaki tried to blame Republicans for defunding the police, it wasn’t spin. It was horse manure, it was gaslighting,” said Cruz

🗣 President Biden told a restaurant owner that he would likely struggle to hire new employees for the next few months before expanded federal unemployment benefits run out — unless he paid them more.
During a CNN town hall night hosted by Don Lemon, John Lanni told Biden that many restaurants owners are struggling to find workers amid the pandemic.
In response, Biden bizarrely told Lanni that he should pay his employees more money or they’ll leave for other jobs!
🧐 Restaurants who already have no money should pay workers more?

The state legislator heading the investigation that could lead to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s impeachment sent the governor a strongly worded letter demanding that Cuomo and his associates behave appropriately during the probe.
✉️ Democratic Assemblyman Charles Lavine penned the letter after Cuomo’s communications director and senior adviser, Rich Azzopardi, suggested there was a political agenda behind New York Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation of alleged sexual harassment and misconduct by the governor.
More appropriate than with those he harassed?
