I’m watching access junkies paid by CNN, MSNBC, ABC etc trying to “defend” Tapper’s book. Once you start shilling on far right conspiracy & propaganda markets (interviewing with Megyn Kelly), you are exactly who you market to. It’s simply the “journalism access protection society” because $$$.

One of the reasons Democrats have such a challenge breaking through the media noise to get their message out is that corporate media is pro-GOP. The corporate media has always covered GOP Presidents wall to wall and when it's a Democratic President they then cover GOP in Congress attacking him.

“Take a breath man, it’s not that serious.” Unbelievable statement an ICE agent told a man who collapsed after being handcuffed following his immigration hearing. The overzealous agents had the wrong man & would have kidnapped him had his attorney not insisted in reviewing the arrest warrant.

While Trump continues to cry for white South Africans, bemoaning a bogus white genocide, House Republicans voted for massive Medicaid cuts — voted for poor and middle class Americans to die by the millions

Supreme Court: The government can shoot or disappear people at will as an exercise of unitary executive power, but no, obviously, that wouldn’t include us, and frankly we’re kind of disappointed you asked.

I actually want to say this really loudly because I am not seeing other non-Jews say it enough. The Israeli diplomat shooting was an antisemitic hate crime. Yes, most allegations of antisemitism within the anti-genocide movement are bullshit. THIS was antisemitism parading as anti-genocide.

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project

I knew when I saw Andy Harris drop in a “present” with Garbarino and Schweikert taking a walk that we’d be inundated with this take, which is understandable but wrong. They had 4 more votes if they’d needed them. Republicans did this, they made decisions, they don’t deserve to be excused this way

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

Sometimes when there's police misconduct they say "there's just a few bad apples" but the situation is the exact opposite. The few honest cops who try to follow the law are aggressively and actively drummed out of the force.

Only Republicans are able to wreck the federal government—making it incapable of performing basic functions from air traffic control to food safety inspections, and destroying morale among remaining employees—while still making the deficit even larger.

Nothing about their behavior has indicated a single, real objection to any of this. Lawler, while this has been staring him down, kept going on insane TV shows like Maria Bartiromo. I guy who was going to hold out would never do that. He didn't want to and he acted like a guy who didn't want to.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
