Whatley confirms “the RNC is absolutely going to be there” supporting Ciattarelli in every way possible, noting: “We’ve already set up an election integrity program in the state…We’ll have attorneys that are going to be on the ground in every precinct.” 5:40pm- In an opinion piece published in The Washington Post, former Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney defended his decision to make Philly a sanctuary city—and condemned the Trump Administration’s deportations of migrants residing in the U.S. unlawfully. 5:45pm- Mostly peaceful Molotov cocktails? 5:50pm- While testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attempted to correct Rep. Linda Sanchez’s use of inaccurate statistics—she then nonsensically accused Bessent of being “sexist” for interrupting her.
