Zero principles — just fealty to Trump.

Voters: Groceries are too expensive. Trump: Tariffs will fix it. Voters: That’s not how this works. Voters: Healthcare costs are crushing us. Trump: Yeah, those are going up too. Voters: Are you even listening? Trump: Fine, we’ll do a war with Venezuela.

An unpopular president failing at home deciding to pursue a regime change war abroad? How original!

Worth noting: tens of thousands of Americans on holiday travel are currently stranded across the Caribbean as airspace restrictions shut down flights in and out of Puerto Rico, Aruba, Barbados, and nearby countries.

Never forget those who enabled this.

You don’t hold power accountable by wrapping “news” in the flag and pretending it’s journalism.

Every American should read this letter from Jeffrey Epstein then ask why, if this involved anyone other than Donald Trump, we wouldn’t already be watching their criminal trial unfold in real time.

In a media world full of Bari Weisses, be Sharyn Alfonsi.

Every journalist in America with an ounce of credibility, regardless of where they work, should be finding the nearest microphone and calling out CBS News leadership for acting as an arm of the Trump press team and spiking a legitimate story to protect the Trump administration.

Mark Halperin has been reduced to peddling made up rumors from illegitimate sources in a desperate bid to stay relevant. This time, it fueled right wing conspiracies that endangered lives and threatened a mass shooting investigation. This is malpractice, not journalism.

Reminder: yesterday a senior DOJ official and a GOP member of Congress were pushing a wild conspiracy that Brown was “covering up” a mass shooting on campus, completely false and thoroughly debunked. Where is the accountability?

Just incredible that a Reddit poster, as confirmed by the Attorney General, was the key witness who helped crack the Brown University and MIT shootings.

Conservative pundits spent the week insisting the Brown University shooter was motivated by antisemitism. Police have now confirmed, unequivocally: he was not.

A remarkable statement from the Rhode Island State Police — directly calling out despicable right wing influencers who spent the week spreading misinformation and actively making this investigation harder.

Pretty weird that Trump used to be so eager about releasing the Epstein files — and then, in a national address the very week they’re supposed to be released, he doesn’t mention them once.

An absolute travesty that networks gave Trump airtime for an incoherent, partisan diatribe.

A nationally televised meltdown doesn’t change reality. From today’s Quinnipiac poll: Who is more responsible for the current economy? 🔴 Trump: 57% 🔵 Biden: 34%

Absolutely insane that a senior DOJ official spent the day spreading a debunked conspiracy theory during an active criminal investigation.

Must watch: @whitehouse.senate.gov calls out the “stupid” misinformation pushed by the GOP after the Brown University shooting — baseless lies that are actively hindering the investigation and putting lives at risk.

While the Brown University shooting investigation remains underway, the FBI Director seemingly found time to talk about his love life.

It goes without saying, but the President of the United States sending conflicting information during a crisis situation is completely unacceptable and putting lives at risk.

Just an unimaginable scene unfolding in our own backyard at Brown University. Please be safe neighbors.

The emperor has no clothes.

Turns out voters don’t love being told “lower prices on day one” — and getting the most expensive year on record.

Wait: if Trump now wants to House to vote to release the Epstein files, why is Trump not immediately releasing the Epstein files?

2028 GOP Debate Moderator: Let’s talk Epstein. Rubio: We need a bipartisan commission. Vance: The media won’t admit the girls were very old for their age. Sliwa: That reminds me of when I got shot and bled out in the back of a cab driven by a guy named Polish Steve.

In case there was any doubt about Trump’s role in a pedophile ring: the sitting President is pushing a primary challenge against a hardcore Republican because she wants the Epstein files released.

This shouldn’t shock anyone who actually understands politics. Voters aren’t asking Democrats to play nice, they demand a fight. The country is burning and we’ve got too many Dems bringing a spray bottle to a five-alarm fire.

Democrats ready to reopen the government on a promise of a vote to save Obamacare subsidies should remember: Republicans made the same promise on D.C. funding earlier this year. That vote never came. Thinking this time will be different is political delusion.

Can’t get over how bad GOP shutdown messaging is. Voters already blame them, rightly so, and now Trump’s team is on TV admitting their shutdown will ruin the holidays for millions of American families.

The wildest part about the largest protest in American history is that the president’s response was to post a video literally proving the point of the protest.

Incredible: today’s No Kings protest appears to be the largest in Providence, Rhode Island history — 20,000+ showed up to say loud and clear that we will not bow to Trump’s authoritarianism.

While Trump weaponizes the DOJ to indict his political enemies, let’s not forget that a senior White House official was caught taking a $50,000 bribe. The investigation was shut down and he’s still in office.

Trump strong arms the DOJ to indict his political enemies. It’s authoritarianism in plain sight. The most dangerous politicization of justice in history.

You’re either on the side of history or not. Time to pick a side.

With democracy under threat in Washington, we need to safeguard it in our communities and prove government can make life better. Being a candidate reminds me daily of this country’s promise. There’s plenty to worry about, but also real hope.

Firing a U.S. attorney for refusing to bring sham charges against a political rival isn’t just corrupt. It’s a grotesque abuse of power and the textbook definition of an impeachable offense.

Worth remembering that a prominent Fox host encouraged the government to murder homeless people last week and is still employed.

Wake up America: every single thing about MAGA is a lie. It promised lower costs, dignity of work, and freedom of speech. It’s delivered higher prices, gutted health care, and unprecedented attacks on speech. It’s a grift for the few at the expense of the many.

We are in a very very dark place, America.

Right-wing extremism is the biggest national security threat facing the United States and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.
