Minnesota Republican state Sen. Steve Drazkowski on bill providing free school breakfast and lunch: "I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry. Yet today. I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that says they don't have access to enough food to eat." #mnleg
Steve Drazkowski is now fundraising off the blowback to his ignorant, callous comments
More Steve Drazkowski on nutrition for kids: "I haven't seen the data that suggests that there is more kids going hungry today... I live in rural Minnesota, and I haven't met one yet... How can kids be malnourished and record obesity at the same time? I don't get it, madam chair"

Wow. Biden in Tampa on Trump: "He said there has to be punishment for women exercising their reproductive freedom ... maybe it's coming from that bible he's trying to sell. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what the hell is in it."
Biden: "It was a political deal to get rid of Roe, a political deal Trump made with the evangelical base of the Republican Party to look past his moral and character flaws in exchange for his commitment to appoint justices to SCOTUS who would overturn Roe."
Biden on a national abortion ban: "As long as I have the power of the presidency, it's never going to happen."
4 years ago today, Trump during his one of his covid disaster-pressers made his infamous, bonkers statement about "disinfectant" via "injection inside" being a miracle cure. But here are a couple other moments from that event you may have forgotten. (🧵)
As I noted at the time, Dr. Birx, who at the time as fawning over Trump on a daily basis, couldn't hide that she was appalled when Trump directed her to investigate his wild quackery.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Will your support for Trump continue even if he's convicted?
CHRIS SUNUNU: Yeah. This has been going on for more than a year and his poll numbers never go down.
S: But you're going to politics. I'm asking about right and wrong.
CS: This is about politics.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But I'm asking whether you're going to be swayed by a conviction
SUNUNU: Nobody should be shocked that the Republican governor is supporting the Republican president
STEPHANOPOULOS: Please explain given the fact you believe Trump contributed to an insurrection how you can say we should have him back in the Oval Office
SUNUNU: For me, it's not about him as much as it is having a GOP administration
S: But he will be the president! That doesn't make any sense to me. You believe that a president who contributed to an insurrection should be president again?
I'm going to put together a thread covering Trump's rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania. Follow along for clips 👇
"We will quickly rebuild the greatest economy in the history of the world like we had it just four years ago" -- the unemployment rate in April 2020 was nearly 15 percent
Trump was deeply confused about how covid spread but that didn't prevent him from publicly agitating for the economy to reopen, suggesting that public health precautions would lead to mass suicide
