Anyone else just finish watching President Biden's #farewelladdress? I don't know about you, but I had tears in my eyes.

#PresidentBiden, thank you for your more than five decades of public service to our great nation. Thank you for your decency, your honesty, your integrity. I will miss you.

I’m launching a Substack. Why? Because Trump is completely unfit for office, his enablers are cowards, and the truth needs to be said plainly by someone who knows how these guys tick. Subscribe if you're with me. open.substack.com/pub/gtconway...

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus

Censorship. Bari Weiss

Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Here we go. Elise Stefanik changed everything she was, everything she believed in, for power. And in the end, Trump endorsed another dude and Elise is out.
Shameful

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

So every time Trump claims he has a major primetime announcement the networks will give him free live airtime to give a MAGA rally speech?

Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader?

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.

They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.

I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.

He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.

He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.

Rob is an American treasure.

Rob Reiner was the consummate storyteller. Over and over, he revealed us to ourselves: what it is to be young and have friends, to fall in love, to feel misery and vengeance, to feel alive. And the laughs. So many laughs. The loss of Rob Reiner is... inconceivable.

I am horrified by the cowardly terrorist attack that took place during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, resulting in the loss of 11 innocent lives and additional injuries, including to law enforcement.

Antisemitism must be condemned forcefully and unequivocally.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

A horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach targeting Jewish Australians celebrating Hanukkah. My heart is with the victims, their families and the entire Jewish community. We must stand against antisemitism and hate in all forms.
