Congrats to Toronto fans. You're all class, as are your team. Also, I've never forgiven the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn, so do your thing, Blue Jays, and take home the trophy.

As your governor, I promise you one thing above all else: We will never, ever, under any circumstances, bend a knee to this autocrat. Ever.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Media outlets from WaPo, NYT, AP, and CNN to Newsmax are refusing to sign the Pentagon’s new gag-order press policy in a rare moment of total bipartisan media unity. This is the way. We can have different ideologies, but we must have a free press.

Is there anyone else out there who thinks we should get together and file a class action lawsuit suit against Trump for mental anguish? I don’t know about any of you but I can’t remember any other time I’ve ever felt this much anguish and hopelessness about my country.

Republicans are allowing health care premiums to double for Americans already struggling to afford coverage — and now they're trying to distract us.

It’s as shameless as it is cruel.
