Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more? Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold. A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot. "You give that man shit," she says. Then walks away. That's Canada. The criminal might buy off porn stars. He will never force Canada to bend.

I have serious concerns about Pete Hegseth’s background, including his mismanagement of non-profit organizations, accusations of sexual assault and drinking problems, blatant disregard for the contributions of female service members, and support for war crimes and torture.

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. I can say Fuck You Donald Trump. They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.

Bravos & huge gratitude to President Biden who today, has permanently banned offshore drilling in 625 million acres of ocean. Our precious and vulnerable coastlines can heal and bloom with healthy marine life into the future. Thank you, Mr President.

None of this is normal. Ron's daily recap is live now. 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

Trump: - said its going to be hard to lower grocery prices - is talking about joining multiple foreign conflicts - is already walking back his “largest mass deportation ever!!” plan - is nominating the most hawkish Cabinet I’ve seen MAGA, yall feel played? Or just happy the Black lady lost?

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

Please share so it's not forgotten! 🔄💙

A MUST WATCH: Sarah Longwell absolutely tears into Kevin McCarthy for his role in enabling Trump: It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down & resurrected him…You should never be allowed to get away with this

Watching the people who were tortured by Assad…. And my anger for @TulsiGabbard defending him grows hotter. Every senator that votes yes on her is complicit

Here's an idea for the Democrats: Have a victim or two of Assad's torture chambers testify at Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing.

This is a GREAT IDEA.

How clean is the Biden admin? No political appointee of Biden's was indicted or convicted of a crime. And no cabinet officials resigned following accusations of impropriety. That's a remarkable ethical achievement for a presidential administration. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/12/03/n...

BREAKING: President Biden will become the first President in American history to register job growth in every single month during his Presidency. This is huge.

This is an oligarchy. The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER Stop the oligarchy

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

Tim Walz just did 1st interview w/ MN media since the campaign "Are there things you could've done differently? Since we lost, the answer is obviously yes... I did the best I could" "I was a little surprised [we lost]. I thought we had a positive message & I thought the country was ready for that"

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES lawsuit by Arizona GOP Chair, the president of Arizona Free Enterprise and voter challenging the state’s maintenance of its voter rolls. A another court victory for voters and another defeat for voter suppressors. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...

Details are sparse and hard to know what’s going on, but a respiratory illness that causes this level of deadly illness is a warning sign for us all. #medsky

Welcome to America in the year 2024, where Joe Biden pardoning his only living son when he said he wouldn’t is more disqualifying than Trump refusing to accept the results of the election he lost, because at least he never said he would.

2022 video of Trump attacking Senator Lisa Murkowski as “an absolutely horrible person and horrible Senator from Alaska.” Trump is now hoping Murkowski approves all his cabinet nominees.

Appears we may get a preview in South Korea of what happens when a right-wing leader in a democracy with only the narrowest of electoral margins attempts to wreck the system and seize power

This is very dangerous. Will the institutions hold? He already has a military general cooperating. Will the troops?

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

👇

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground." I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

In case you needed validation for WHY you stopped watching MSNBC during the day (or completely), they have a conga line of pundit idiots saying President Biden looks corrupt for pardoning his son -- instead of leaving him vulnerable to convicted felon trump's retribution thugs. DO. NOT. WATCH.

REMINDER: Since taking office, the Biden-Harris Administration has delivered BIG on health care. ✅ Lowered prescription drug costs ✅ Expanded mental health care access ✅ Supported women’s health and cancer research ✅ Addressed medical debt ✅ Extended ACA coverage to DACA recipients

We could’ve had a president who reads and supports small business. Sigh… #booksky #kamalaharris #election2024

This kind of thing works, this kind of thing is what can prevent us from sliding into an autocracy

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

How many media outlets ran major stories & OpEds on Trump’s pledge to Libertarians to pardon Ross Ulbricht, who is serving life in prison for the ‘Silk Road’ dark web that facilitated one of the largest drug trafficking ops in human history?

The convicted felon who just got away with his crimes has words about a “miscarriage of justice.” 🙄

Yes

Can we get back to talking about Pete Hegseth’s mom already? Thx.

I had no idea how thirsty I was for some good news until Joe pardoned Hunter.

Again, MOST of the takes on Hunter Biden's pardon serve to cover up Trump's corruption.

Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

Spot on re: Hunter Biden’s pardon
