This is Marco Rubio retweeting El Salvador’s president mocking the Trump administration’s open defiance of a judge’s order. Every single Democratic senator voted to confirm Rubio. Some like Tina Smith, in her interview with me, now say they got it wrong and regret it. They all should say it.

“She describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.” Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

JD Vance humiliates "his wife" on stage: "I think she's doing a great job as second lady of the United States and I'm so proud to have her back... by my side. Here's the thing. The cameras are all on; anything I say, no matter how crazy, she has to smile, laugh, and celebrate it."

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you. Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

"Can a fair-minded reporter flatly describe the president as corrupt and a threat to America itself? Are those facts?...I say, “Yes.” Calling Trump corrupt and a threat to America are not opinions. They are objective statements of fact." - blistering from veteran political correspondent John Harwood

I don't want any Democrat to work with any Republican on any Trump agenda item. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history. Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30. It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.
