Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

"There does not seem to be a limiting principle on Trump’s mobilization of the guard, morally, practically, or legally...First Trump normalized the use of masked, unidentified secret police. Now he has normalized the mobilization of the military against civilians." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-most-d...

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war. Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes. Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Charlie Rangel. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. A fearless fighter for Harlem. A decorated veteran who never stopped serving the people.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Brinks, who just resigned, goes nuclear on President Trump Brinks: I was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. I resigned because of Trump's foreign policy: to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia. 1/

If you’re more interested in making money on what you say happened in the last presidential election than you are in reporting on the blatant presidential corruption that’s been happening SINCE the election, you are not a journalist. You are an asshole. And you’re complicit.

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Given everything that is going on, I was thinking of Ronald Reagan's A Time for Choosing speech this morning & how he claimed that what would make Americans unfree was having government healthcare, specifically Medicare. What an overrated clown of a man he was. His fans ought to acknowledge that.

Due process if you’re guilty and due process if you’re innocent are the same thing! You can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.” I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.
