COLLINS: Should the president know who he's pardoning?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I don't know anything about this one. That's the first time I've seen that.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Are you kidding me?
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.

That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

Lines at food banks are getting longer and grocery prices are out of control.

We should not be weaponizing hunger in the middle of a Republican government shutdown.

This is a CHOICE made by Republicans.

A CHOICE to punish American workers.

More than 40 million Americans wait to see when SNAP food assistance will restart

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

It's like we people can have food OR health insurance w/out higher premiums. Quite frankly, I want people to have both.

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?

TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

I'm not going to watch it. I cannot stand to hear Trump's voice. Shame on CBS for giving him oxygen.
