I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Trump: For $5 million, this can be yours. It's the first of the cards. You know what that card is? It's the gold card. The Trump card. Reporter: Who's the first buyer? Trump: I'm the first buyer. Reporter: Who's the second? Trump: I don't know...it will be out in 2 weeks. Anyone want to buy one?

A lot went down last night—here’s a quick catch-up. Trump says tariffs will strengthen U.S. manufacturing, but just before announcing them, his administration cut support for centers that help American firms do exactly that. Make it make sense.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.

Trump lied pathologically on Meet the Press today. It’s fine to write a column about his lies after the fact but it is no replacement for fact checking him in real time. That’s where journalists consistently fail. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/...
