Don’t forget Blanche…. “Don’t answer questions about the declination memo”.
Can’t imagine that isn’t an ethics problem.

Mark Epstein: "You know, they used to fly in each other's planes. ... They say Donald was on Jeff's plane like seven times, but... have they checked Donald's flight logs from those days to see how many times Jeffrey was on [Donald Trump's] plane? ...

Isn’t it amazing that the right apoplectic over the idea of a sex trafficking ring run by a Cabal of elites and then elected the individual who seems to be sitting in the center of it

Agreed. Absolutely spot on.

This is one of those things that adds to the perception that Trump is heavily involved in sex trafficking. All of the little indications only point in the direction that he is willing to protect men exploiting women. He’s told us through his actions.

It’s all ego with Swalwell. He wants to talk tough. Act tough. Etc.
he hopes that that elevates him. It doesn’t. The more he talks, the worse it gets.
This is what happens when ambition overrides reason

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

Consumer protection groups, why don’t you toot your own horns for once? More than any recent election, the issues on the table this year were consumer issues—landlord/tenant, childcare, mass transit, healthcare, utility costs—especially electricity, rising food prices and so on.

Mamdami getting over 50% means there is no spoiler talk… he WON this. It’s not a split decision leaning in his favor. He won outright.

The Democratic Party also serves its corporate masters. Trying to make it seem like it’s just the GOP that does that is nonsense. That’s the kind of incredible statement that loses the Democratic Party voters. You’re full of shit and they know it.

Deadline White House today is absolutely terrible. All about elections. All about horse race. None of it about actual facts. None of it about accountability for the action. All tactic and rhetoric. And the Democratic Party has already proven itself to be completely inept rhetorically.

@msnbc.com your focus on 26 is irresponsible. Talking to strategists about an election more than a year away is covering the game… it’s not a game. And those strategist lost two elections to Trump.
Try doing the news and not the horse race

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.

Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?

Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%
