NEW VIDEO: My take on today's Senate confirmation hearing for Emil Bove to the Third Circuit, including my discussion with Nicolle Wallace. Bove is Trump's personal lawyer and has no business being on the federal bench. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJZ1...

The Senate republicans' proposed tax bill would force the USPS to auction off its new EV mail trucks, despite their proven benefits in reducing pollution, boosting safety, and cutting costs. Why? Simply out of spite.

I want to be very clear that you should be horrified the level of influence Fox News has during trump presidencies on warmaking decisions. The network took it upon itself to help trump pick targets in the first term, when Fox was pushing him to bomb Syria

It’s journalistic malpractice not to remind America that Trump also brought us to the brink of catastrophe with Iran in 2020 by assassinating—in a plot he drafted with Netanyahu—the second-most popular Iranian as he was on his way to a PEACE SUMMIT Trump’s Saudi business associates had lured him to.

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

There was no immigration crisis when Trump was sworn in, no economic crisis when Trump was sworn in, no trade crisis when Trump was sworn in. Any “crises” happening now are all of HIS making. All singlehandedly bcuz of HIM. All bcuz of HIS cruelty, incompetence, and ignorance.
