What color is the line that Trump has to cross before he is stopped? Because it certainly doesn’t seem to be the red ones.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Would you prefer Trump deal with mass murders, school shootings and church shootings -- or send US Military Troops into Portland because the city does not want to be ruled by ICE?

The meritocracy and the media that normalizes it.

79. American citizen.

Occam's Razor always rules. Always.

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6? JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

Every minute wasted on Trump’s chaos is a minute stolen from solving real problems — climate, inequality, healthcare, democracy. Stop feeding his distractions. Let’s put our energy into building the future, not fueling his circus.

Those threats from the White House must be getting serious.

Dominion Voting Systems and Rudy Giuliani have just settled the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Giuliani over spreading lies about the 2020 election, according to a court filing.

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy. This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman. It’s an endless series of baloney.

This is how a leader speaks

This is your daily reminder that climate change is real, Tylenol is safe, God doesn’t love Christian Americans more than anyone else and science deals in facts not falsehoods. ✌🏻

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

Trump seizing stakes in Intel, US Steel and more reeks of the same state-run rot he rails against. Economists warn it mirrors failed socialist factories, wasting resources while taxpayers foot the bill and politicians pocket the credit.

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

After Trump's announcement about tylenol and autism, the NYT assembled a panel of experts, including an autistic person and a parent or an autistic person, to assess and debunk the claims. It's a good model. I'd like to see them use it more often on more topics.

Hillary Clinton on the midterms: "When they eliminated the enhanced premium tax credit for the ACA, that hits very soon, in the next 30-60 days. Healthcare costs for million of Americans are going up 75% ... so reality is actually gonna bite ... 'okay, who is in charge now?'"
