Last night, Rachel Maddow pointed out that Trump is refusing to let anyone around him refer to him as the "former" president, and is even using letterhead referring to him as the 45th president.

Say hello to a new challenger hoping to unseat Rep. Marjorie Greene next year.

Biden is flying on Air Force One. The presidential plane. He's not taking Amtrak like he did for decades. Trump flew Air Force One several times a week--and sometimes several times a day--throughout the pandemic. Which Fox News never mentioned. https://t.co/FTq80Dfl4s

It’s official! I’m running for Congress against Lauren Boebert.
We need a Congresswoman who understands that real toughness isn’t what you wear on your hip. Real toughness is what you get done for other people.
