I’m sorry, but this kid? Seriously?? A “top advisor”? This entire administration is ridiculous. He looks like he’d be a deer in headlights if you said “boo” to him. No wonder he’s the scapegoat.

Biden: One called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme? What the hell are they talking about? People earned these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They rely on that benefit.

Talked with Jane Fonda about how she’s evolved her fitness routine at 87 years old; here’s that story. I may have gushed, I’m afraid, but speaking with Jane Fonda was bucket list for me. And anyone who watched her SAG Awards speech would get that: click.email.hollywoodreporter.com?qs=465d9fe29...

Gosh, when Joe doesn’t have a cold, he sounds pretty great to me. Strong. Defiant. But respectful of our laws. Go figure.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Maybe you should have listened to the political scientists & others pleading for you to pay attention & not spent all of last spring doing the tired bit about how there was no difference at all between the two doddering old men?

Elaine Wynn has died, and I am devastated. Trust me when I say that she was nothing like her ex-husband; she was kind, thoughtful, gracious, elegant — and a devout Democrat. I adored her, and I will miss her terribly. They don’t make them like Elaine anymore. news3lv.com/news/local/e...

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

People of honor are yelling as loud as they can; why aren’t more Americans listening? #ConstitutionalCrisis

“We are here: Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court while sitting side-by-side with a Latin American strongman who openly mocks our judicial system from inside the Oval Office.” @timmiller.bsky.social and I are depressed, alarmed, angry. Where is the resistance? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSh...

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

Absolutely not an exaggeration. High crimes and misdemeanors committed and endorsed in the Oval Office on live television.

Amid a lot of sincerely horrible things we’ve watched him do or say, is this the absolute worst? I’m going to vote yes.

He really just could’ve stopped at, “I don’t know what the laws are.”

Trump’s DOJ is blatantly defying a Supreme Court order—refusing to bring back someone they deported illegally. A federal judge gave them two chances. They said no. Who stops this now? If SCOTUS can be ignored, what’s left? This is authoritarian rule, not rule of law. This is a defining moment.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.
