McGovern: There has been a lot of outrage in this chamber about an interruption last night. Well, you know what, I agree that there was a violation of dignity and decorum of this chamber. And it came from the podium where Donald Trump was standing.

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

Amy Coney Barrett’s passing glance means nothing—she’s proven she can’t be trusted. She lied about abortion to get on SCOTUS & her ties to a Christian cult with alleged abuse remain. Don’t be fooled into thinking she’ll stand up to Krasnov. Read more: tinyurl.com/ConeyBarret-...

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.
