'Hold my gun': Tina Fey's Kristi Noem opens up SNL with 'Old Yeller' joke at Noem's expense and ICE jokes. We can expect Trump and DHS to open an investigation into SNL for mocking Noem and ICE. I'm 100% serious. www.rawstory.com/snl-kristi-n...

The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine. It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

That line, “there’s more that unites us than divides us,” can sound like a cliché. But right now, it hits.

All of us want affordable healthcare. Nobody can afford premiums that triple. Nobody wants to see service members standing in food pantry lines.

Party divides completely fade on these issues.

With the government shut down and millions at risk of losing their health insurance, Trump rides around his golf club, shouting to wealthy members, “Your taxes are coming down!”

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Trump just installed Michael Ellis as CIA general counsel, possibly to green light legally dubious CIA ops to do this as an end run around congress.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.
