A sadly serious question. How much of the insanity these days might have been avoided if the GOP-led Senate had simply exercised their "advise and consent" powers?

Amy Klobucharon CNN "Trump ORDERED this prosecution. He fired conservative prosecutor who said there wasn't enough evidence. This is simply dangerous. "He's going after people he doesn't like & literally weaponizing DOJ." Even GOP should agree w/ Amy. Eventually Donald doesn't like everyone.

As has been pointed out in many quarters, not only will Sinclair/Nexstar owe ABC a huge preemption fee each time they DON'T run Kimmel, but ABC can also offer Kimmel to rival in-market stations at low cost, and Sinclair/Nexstar risk ABC terminating their deals 🤦🏼‍♂️

He writes terribly, he lost Hillary Clinton the election but he still doesn’t deserve to go to jail because Trump doesn’t like him.

Trump is now apparently trying to get former FBI director James Comey indicted. Such gratitude to the man, who with the Hillary's email story less than two week before the 2016 election probably got Donald elected the first time. ..

Okay, who had this Fox News headline on their batsh*t bingo card? "Secret Service investigating after president, first lady forced to walk up escalator."

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Underreported detail: Amy Klobuchar, member of Judiciary Committee, told Lawrence O'Donnell about some nominees w/ things in distant past-shoplifting, minor drug offenses...that can get nominations quietly scuttled. There's reason Tom Homan was chosen for position not requiring Senate confirmation.

Lived during high school near Orlando, our congressman was Richard Kelly. At the time, disliked him for running pro-ERA, then voting against it. He's notable now only as GOP congressman convicted of taking bribes in 1980 Abscam scandal. Kelly was before his time. These days Trump would promote him.

The UN escalator wouldn't do Trump's bidding this morning. Making it braver than almost any U.S. Republican.

Donald Trump will address the UN general assembly tomorrow. White House says speech will be focused on American strength, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says Donald "will articulate his straightforward and constructive vision for the world." Wanna bet?

ABC has just announced the Jimmy Kimmel show will return tomorrow. Translation, ABC/Disney may be afraid of angering Donald Trump. But they are more afraid of canceled Disney + subscriptions and angry Americans canceling Disney vacations. We the people are NOT powerless.

Two white American men w/ histories of domestic violence killed five police officers responding to DV calls in the last month (UT & PA.) One white American man murdered Charlie Kirk. Why is only Kirk's murder being ascribed to a "they?" It's the guns, stupid.

Not all political news is bad these days. Gavin Newsom just signed Josh Becker's climate bills. Proud to say he's my state Senator. As D.C. retreats, California must lead on affordable clean energy www.mercurynews.com/2025/09/08/o...

Meanwhile, while Big Beautiful Betrayal cut $187 billion from food stamps & CBO estimated 10% of those enrolled- about 4 million people- would lose at least some assistance, Trump's USDA is now ending government's annual report on hunger.. Pro life my ass.

Bingo !!

Trump says he is the first US President to visit Windsor Castle... Uh.. www.townandcountrymag.com/society/trad...

Aug 17, 3 police officers & a dog were shot in Utah. 2 officers died. Today 5 police officers were shot in PA. 3 died. In both cases officers were responding to domestic violence. Seems like keeping abusers from having guns might be more important than censoring comedians.

On Sept 30, ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) fee from visa waiver countries increases from $21 to $40. Old $21 fee included $17 for travel promotion. New fee has $10 for ESTA system operations + $13 levy for US Treasury General Fund(!!?) Is Trump TRYING to kill inbound tourism?

Apparently Charlie Kirk assassination suspect was in custody last night but it was kept quiet until morning so Trump could announce arrest on Fox. How many Utah residents & others went to bed last night worried there was a cold-blooded killer loose -for a reality TV stunt?

Why care about a death of a man many of us disagreed with on almost everything? 1. Vigilante justice is wrong. 2. John Donne - over 400 years ago "Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."

Maybe this would be a good day for President Trump to consider reinstating Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris?

he past, present & future of MAGA. 1. There's no Epstein birthday card 2. Trump didn't sign the birthday card. 3. The signature is a forgery 4. So what if he signed the card. 5. The girls were asking for it. 6. The girls should be punished for lying about Dear Leader. #Cult

If he's innocent, why didn't Trump just say the Epstein birthday card was "locker room banter?"

Siri, tell me another story you will never see on national Fox News... www.fox5dc.com/news/deadly-...

1 in 10 jobs in USA is supprted by tourism. World Travel & Tourism Council projected in May that United States will lose $12.5 billion in international visitor spending in 2025. USA was only country out of 184 economies that will see decline in 2025. Are we great yet?

Fellow Democrats. Didn't seem to matter on a national level that New York City elected a man now indicted for multiple felonies as their current mayor. Why should it matter if NYC elects a democratic socialist this time? We have more important issues to argue about.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "We should be receiving the birthday book and all the Epstein documents from the estate tomorrow, and our intention is to make it public."

Remember when Reagan invaded Grenada two days after 241 US Marines were killed in an attack on their barracks in Lebanon. Velveeta Voldemort makes most past Presidential indiscretions/distractions seem so quaint.

Mark Zuckerberg caught on a hot mic talking to Donald after fumbling a question about how much he would invest in the USA 'I wasn't sure what number you wanted to go with' It's tough to think on your knees.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

So Trump will not attend G20 in South Africa because he thinks the country is too woke. But he says 2026 G20 will be held at his Miami Florida Doral Club. Wouldn't it be great if most foreign leaders decline to attend because they think US is no longer a serious country.

Nothing says 'I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize" like renaming the Defense Department the "Department of War."

Lawrence O'Donnell points out something not getting enough attention: Today in RFK Jr's hearing. Idaho GOP Senator Mike Crapo refused to put RFK Jr under oath... As if perjury would have stopped him, but still...
