I remember Leslie Stahl being handed the Trump Health Care plan before the interview she had with Trump. Turns out it was a stack of paper..... all blank sheets.

The world first heard Mariah Carey sing in 1990.

Since then, if you add up all the weeks that a song she participated in has been at the Number One position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, she's logged 97 weeks of having the Number One hit in America. Nearly two years' worth. More than anyone else.

Here’s the thing: Trump tried to END the ACA/Obamacare in 2017. Without a replacement. And with your help, sir, because you voted to end it as well.

Trump has no hesitation about going after Letitia James or Comey, or anyone else, because it's NOT HIS MONEY that pays for the lawyers and the lawsuit. It's YOURS. Taxpayer money. So he doesn't care if he wins or loses. He'll draw it out as long as possible. It's "the cost of doing business". His MO

The indictment of Tish James and the indictment of James Comey — both completely unsupported by any actual fact — along with Trump’s raft of unconstitutional executive orders and the deliberate humiliation of top military leaders all have one thing in common: they’re hallmarks of fascism.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

When I wrote this, a while ago, I thought there was a fair chance that I’d be looking stupid by the end of the game. Because the Eagles are the Eagles.

But the Giants have just been curb stomping the Eagles.

He’s not wrong. Democrats struggle unusually badly with trying to explain things to regular people like a regular person talks.

It’s not outside the realm of reasonable possibility that the New York Giants could beat the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mind blown.

Rogan really NEEDS to be vocally condemning this. He’s partially responsible for it.

He endorsed Trump on Election Day to his millions of followers. And had just 1 OUT OF EVERY 50 people who voted for Trump in PA, MI and WI had voted for Harris instead, none of this would be happening.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

“Republicans are the ones who are here for you”? Is that what he said? From her comments I don’t think she believes that. (Nor do I.)

It’s hard to overstate how grotesque is the prosecution of Letitia James. I hope John Roberts—who unleashed this malignant, vengeful career criminal on our beloved country—is enjoying Trump’s utter abuse of power and trashing of justice and the rule of law.
