January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Guest: Trump found a way to actually make MBS look better than him. It was an astounding moment. We had the American president defending the murder of an American journalist. It really made us look small. It made the United States look like a wingman to Saudi Arabia.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is terrible for our country. Violence is not the answer.
To learn from this, let's not fictionalize who Kirk was.
A day before his death, he said: "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America."
That's not respectful speech. That's violent rhetoric.

Trump is mentally ill and needs treatment. I say this as a mental health professional who is concerned about a person who appears to be a danger - if not to himself (because he is so closely watched) - then to others
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism.
