What I told Amie Parnes @thehill.com why my views on Schumer are changing…

Let’s clear up this lazy GOP spin that Dems were “MIA” on Epstein during the Biden Administration. 🧵 1. The Biden DOJ couldn’t release the files while Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal was pending — even felons get due process. SCOTUS closed that chapter, declining to hear her appeal last month.

Insightful reporting by @alivitali.bsky.social But effective political leaders (think Pelosi) wouldn't have allowed this kinda freelancing: "Sen Schumer knew we were meeting with Sen Thune,” Shaheen said. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

Michelle Obama said it best: “Being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are"

This MSNOW/Maya Angelou ad is 🔥  “….I note the obvious differences between each sort and type But we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.”

Gillibrand and Schumer are clearly not playing about Collins’ Maine Senate seat. The DSCC’s oppo research machine is in OVERDRIVE Platner didn’t have a chance.

For Trump, the process is the punishment…

Quick thoughts on this Bolton indictment 1. VERY serious set of facts presented 2. VERY difft from the flimsy, weak indictments against James & Comey 3. Govt is also trying case in court of public opinion. Defense has credible motions re: violations of grand jury secrecy rules

Pelosi’s reax to this type article would be: **Just win, baby** Jeffries’s reax should be the same — as should the Dem echo chamber. Axios: Dozens of Dem candidates won't commit to backing Jeffries www.axios.com/2025/10/16/h...

"The boy, who is Hispanic and African American, was held in a garage for five hours “without informing his family, stating any charges, or allowing him to call an attorney,” the statement said. He is a U.S. citizen, as is his entire immediate family, the release said."

Getting an A in math class when you’re failing science, English, history, and PE still means you’re failing. This post is about Trump.

Friday in Trumpworld: Snubbed by the Nobel Committee. Second “annual” physical in 6 months. Dow tanks 880. Friday PM dump to bury mass gov’t layoffs. Truly, so much winning.

Yes, the moment we’re in now is worse than Watergate and the abuses of the Nixon era

If FBI Director Jim Comey had adhered to DOJ’s rules —particularly its 60-Day rule, which prohibits overt actions that may influence an election — we may never have had a Trump presidency. Via @MSNBC_reports

New from me: Kamala Harris’ book ‘107 Days’ gets the reason she lost all wrong: Harris' association with Joe Biden was always going to drag her down, but her refusal to break with him on any major issue sealed her fate. msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... via @msnbc.com

THIS is how Dems must respond when the Nancy Maces of the world try to distract with fake culture wars. 🔥

"Loyalty actually isn't a strong enough word. It is about blind obedience" @anthonycoley.bsky.social difference between those who served Trump during his first and second terms and why we are now seeing the Justice Department take such unprecedented actions.

Guest: It is not lost on me that today is the day that the Epstein files are due to Congress. So today of all days, the DOJ is going to execute this search warrant? I smell a rat

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you… and possibly livestreamed for content www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

2 quick thoughts: 1–They’re easing out Bongino after his clash w/ Bondi & unflattering leaks 2-The FBI dep dir is typically a career official w/ many many years of FBI experience. Bailey’s appointment is another critical break from an important norm meant to make us more safe.

With no corporate ties to Microsoft or NBC, this makes sense to me…

👋 DC resident here 2 things can be true: Violent crime can be way ⬇️ & folks can STILL be frustrated by car jackings, smash&grabs, etc THIS doesn’t warrant the Natl Guard but 51% of DC residents (largely Dems!) feel that crime is extremely or very important, per WaPo poll in a May

🚨 On Jan. 6th, he yelled “killed ‘em” to fellow protesters attacking police officers. Today he’s a taxpayer-funded senior adviser in Trump’s Justice Dept. www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

“What are you hiding, Mr. President?” The Weeknight panel weighs in on the political fallout over the Epstein files and what Trump’s response – or lack thereof – reveals about his priorities.

Oh Atlanta 🤦🏾‍♂️ yall doing too much down there

When folks say Trump is making us less safe, stuff like THIS is what we mean: NYT: DOJ plans to slash the # of inspectors who monitor federally licensed gun dealers by 2/3rds, sharply limiting the govt’s already crimped capacity to identify businesses that sell guns to criminals (gift link below)

Happy Father’s Day to the moms doing double duty.

Quick thoughts on the truly awful assassination of a democratic lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota

Trump’s military parade isn’t about patriotism — it’s not about celebrating the Army. It’s a birthday gift to himself. It’s meant to stroke his fragile ego.  Insecurity always puts on the loudest show.

So Kristi Noem’s agents didn’t notice or flinch when someone got close enough to grab her purse and run. But they get physical with a sitting U.S. senator asking questions — no threat, just scrutiny. 🤔

Great WaPo chart detailing how the natl debt has exploded over the last 20 years. Of note, it was a Dem president — Bill Clinton — who actually left the country w/ a cash surplus, when the Treasury collects more in taxes than it spends on govt services. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Of course the guy who saddled 4 casinos w/ debt & drove each into bankruptcy wants to kill the debt limit But on this, he & E Warren are right The 14th Amend is clear—The validity of the public debt shall not be questioned. What IS insane? $4T in debt for billionaire tax cuts

Elon Musk is just one unelected man. The way he has these GOP politicians jumping just because he’s rich is something to behold. Imagine if they cared half as much about the people who actually vote for them.

#Rerun - We've seen this episode. It's like that time when Trump's DOJ leaked probes of pandemic nursing home deaths in NY & NJ in Oct '20 A DOJ spox called the inquiries “our last play on them before election" and then leaked it to Rupert Mudoch's NY Post politico.com/news/2025/01/0

This is a silly stunt to help Shri in a Dem primary; it’s not in the long-term interests of the party. Dems can’t defeat Trumpism by just energizing the base—they need millions of disengaged voters & non-MAGA Trump supporters to get the country back on track. www.axios.com/2025/05/13/d...
