'In Ukraine, the state itself is investigating the government, the cabinet, the president’s closest advisers. By contrast, it is impossible to imagine Kash Patel’s FBI investigating anyone in Trump’s White House. Any Russian who investigates Putin goes to jail"

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

Democrats have a plan to extend ACA tax credits and prevent a health care cost catastrophe. Been waiting on Republicans for years and years – they’ve got nothing, and the American people will get stuck with the bill if something doesn’t change quickly.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

My law firm is currently intervening to defend against this in the first 8 lawsuits DOJ filed. More soon.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

The mainstream media press corps needs to stand together against Trump’s misogyny & sexism.

It also needs to collectively push back when the Orange Turd refuses to answer questions.
Former ABC News correspondent and anchor, Terry Moran, and I talk about how the current press corps is not meeting the moment and how capitulation by big media companies is setting the stage for a rise in independent journalism.

There is no version of reality where Pete Hegseth was remotely qualified or morally fit for the position he occupies.

That’s why our troops are in danger, it’s why our National Guard members were shot, it’s why we have armed, masked thugs terrorizing people…

This is a huge problem.

"Many members of Congress spend hours most day in call rooms, dialing for dollars for their next campaign. Imagine landing your dream job, only to discover that half your workday will be spent not on the work itself but on cold-calling strangers to beg for money."
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

Trump’s “enraged” that the media is giving major news coverage to what everyone sees: the age, the decline, the not so slow fade. And he can’t spin it away.

Bonus: folks online are calling him “Sleepy Don” because he keeps nodding off in meetings like it’s nap time at Mar a Lago.

Keep it up 👊🏽

WTF is a FIFA Peace Prize?

It’s an embarrassing consolation prize.

A make-believe award cooked up to kiss Trump’s ass and pretend it means something. It’s bullshit, a cheap clout grab from an org pretending it doesn’t see the danger he brings to international athletes and fans.
