NEW VIDEO FOOTAGE: This appears to come from murderer Jonathan Ross’ body cam or cell phone. You can clearly see Renee Good turn her steering wheel to avoid him, and after he shoots her in the face, you hear him say “Fucking bitch.” www.instagram.com/reel/DTTNCQr...

1. I don't think someone in fear for his life would be recording on his cell phone

2. I don't think someone who feared for his life would say "fucking bitch" after shooting at point blank range

3. I don't think someone who feared a weaponized vehicle would walk in front of it while filming

Learning that this video is Ross' cell phone footage and was leaked to a right wing media outlet to prove his innocence, which is fucking bananas to me.

4. I don’t think someone who feared for his life would continue to shoot two more live rounds point blank through the window after the driver attempted to drive away.

RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury

RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it?

RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

“You know you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.”

To which Anderson said, “You know you do, too.”

Today, my colleague David Yaffe-Bellany and I published an investigation into the frenzied world of crypto unleased by Trump.

Risk taking, profiteering & yes, innovation, as crypto bros sense that this is the moment crypto will go mainstream in the U.S.

So every time Trump claims he has a major primetime announcement the networks will give him free live airtime to give a MAGA rally speech?

Trump watches Putin invade Ukraine and Xi posture over Taiwan, and the comparison exposes his insecurity.

So he reaches for Greenland and Venezuela not as strategy but as salve for his ego.

It’s playground politics.

Power is like a magnifying glass: It makes the bad worse.

The problem is Trump was already the worst when he was elected.

Mr. Speaker, can you comment on the president’s social media post about Rob Reiner after he was murdered?

I didn’t see the post. I’ve been very busy. I work 22 hours a day.

For years, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has fended off rivals who’ve portrayed him as a “trust fund baby” by presenting himself as an advocate for the working class.

Now, he is using that strategy for what could be his most ambitious political endeavor yet.
Do Democrats need their own billionaire? JB Pritzker is betting on it.
The Illinois governor has tapped his wealth to climb the political ladder, moving toward a White House run while presenting himself as a champion for everyday people.

Senators Jeff Merkley and Cathrine Cortez Masto have introduced a bill (Change Corruption Act) that would block Trump and any other sitting or living former POTUS from appearing on U.S. currency.

Narcissism?
Legacy Anxiety?
Self-Mythologizing?
Insecurity Masked as Grandeur?

All of the Above. ☑️

The idea that it’s misconduct for a federal judge, at a private meeting of judges, and in response to the Chief Justice’s question about any concerns the judges may have, to express his colleagues’ well-taken concerns about whether the rule of law can survive, is not just preposterous, but insane.
Me on the factually misleading and analytically ridiculous misconduct complaint DOJ has filed against Chief Judge Boasberg—and the dangerousness of DOJ so openly trying to undermine public confidence in the only institution that has been even partially effective at checking the Trump administration:
170. DOJ's (Ridiculous) Misconduct Complaint Against Chief Judge Boasberg
DOJ's complaint that Chief Judge Boasberg engaged in "misconduct" would be laughably stupid if it didn't reflect such a transparently obvious and dangerous attempt to delegitimize the federal courts.
