Former U.S. Attorney and legal expert Joyce Vance joined me to discuss whether the court system can hold Trump accountable, how Trump loyalists are trying to transform the DOJ and why Vance is describing our current political state as a "soft coup." Watch and share. youtu.be/wL04uJ9W5kM

On this fine morning I think its time to bring up the insane time last year I confronted the grandchild of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, Kai Höss, about becoming a Christian Evangelical antisemite. This story is somehow even more twisted than it seems & I'll write an "off topic" piece sometime

I'm sure the Free Speech Warriors are all over this. Oh wait sorry I was huffing paint, I forgot for three seconds that they are craven grifters with less intellectual consistency than Charles Manson getting offered a record deal.

I still can't get over Newsom being like "the only way my kid will talk to me is if I talk to right wing grifters on the internet" and we're supposed to see this as leadership and not a ridiculous self own about his poor parenting choices.

What kind of professor calls for the deportation of a student? “Shai Davidai, a vocal pro-Israel professor at Columbia who was barred from campus after the university said he intimidated and harassed employees, called on Mr. Rubio to deport Mr. Khalil.”

Do you know how EASY it would be for every single Democrat in Congress to pick ONE DAY during their recess to go across their districts in front of bus stops, supermarkets, train stations, post offices, laundromats, public schools distributing two page fliers about what's happening in DC? SO EASY.

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.
