Quite the day for Patel to drop this new content.

The FBI has completely bungled the Brown shooting - the shooter is still at large! - just like the Kirk shooting.

Maybe that's because Patel is doing interviews like this instead of doing his job.

I just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned.

Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.

He's just lost it. Now saying Rob and Michele Reiner caused their own murder because they didn't support him.

So sick.
December 15, 2025 at 4:56 PM
This is so vile and so un-American.

And calling our founder fathers - who would cringe at this kind of bigoted zealotry - "pearl clutchers" is a twist.

13 years since that unspeakable day in Sandy Hook. 13 years of growing a movement to make sure kids feel safe everywhere. 13 years of heroes living with pain and grief yet still speaking truth to power.

He's feeble, working only a few hours a day, more erratic than ever, and his base is starting to figure it all out.

This is the most corrupt White House in the history of the country.

We have 24 hours before the Senate vote to stop the January premium increases - $6,200 annual increase for the average Connecticut family on an ACA plan.

Republicans can still choose to do the right thing and vote with us.

This is important. Especially that part about COSTS GOING UP BECAUSE TRUMP IS MAKING THEM GO UP NOT BECAUSE OF NATURAL ECONOMIC FACTORS.
December 10, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Your donors and voters aren't motivated because they supported a feeble, aging con man for President who pretended he cared about them and high costs and then when he won turned the White House in a 24/7 grift machine to enrich himself, his family and his friends.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.

This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.
December 9, 2025 at 8:56 PM
What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Leslie told her story about how the Affordable Care Act saved her and her family, and how devastating it will be if Republicans increase her premiums in January just because they want a big tax cut for their billionaire donors.

An update on the fight over health insurance premiums:

Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes.

Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

Pinning the blame on Admiral Bradley - when Hegseth gave the order to kill everyone - is a gross abdication of leadership. He's not qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.
December 3, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Such a national embarrassment.
December 2, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.

The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.
December 2, 2025 at 3:37 PM
It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

wild that this guy still has a job
December 1, 2025 at 11:14 PM
He doesn’t care about you. At all.
November 28, 2025 at 8:01 PM
In a world filled with bad news, remember today that good happens unseen every day everywhere.

For instance, each Thanksgiving morning, this group of local families comes to the green in Hartford near our house to serve breakfast to the needy. No publicity. No hype. Just good.
November 27, 2025 at 6:41 PM
You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.
November 27, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Over and over, the mainstream press reports that Trump has secured a “trade deal” with a foreign country and every single time he’s just making it up.

When will they learn?
