If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

As a veteran who served in intelligence, I want to introduce you to EXORDS: the execute order from the President to SecDef. This allows 60 days operations under the War Powers Act. The President must advise Congress and gain approval to continue.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.
He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason
