Hakeem Jeffries talking in inarticulate circles on the Last Word tonight clearly demonstrates the need for new Dem leadership. We have the bench strength in the party to do so much better. We need strong messaging, a compelling plan and leaders able to inspire.

Everything that Trump does is self serving.
He didn’t orchestrate this action to ‘free’ Venezuela or to uphold democracy.
Every move, and every decision that we’ve witnessed has been designed to advance his own power, and his own wealth, “And when you're a star,
they let you do it.”👇

Hard to watch US TV media discussing how the US might occupy and run a foreign country as if it’s a perfectly normal political development.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner on why he was alarmed by Trump's speech: "It was delivered with a manic cadence -- almost a frantic cadence ... it was disturbing to watch. It was disturbing because he's the commander in chief."

A man goes to the newsstand every day, reads the headlines, and then looks disappointed.
One day, the stand owner says "What are you always looking for that you don't seem to find?"
"An obituary."
"Ah, that's your problem. Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"The one I'm looking for will be."

A NY Times article on Biden actions on immigration found he and his closest advisers ignored early warnings about a border surge and rejected policies to ease a crisis that created an opening for Trump to win with a more aggressive approach to immigration.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

MS NOW: Are you getting any support from Republican colleagues saying this kind of rhetoric isn't okay?
ILHAN OMAR: No. And it isn't surprising because the Republicans have bent the knee. They've welcomed his disgusting rhetoric. I'm not expecting any of them to develop a backbone now.
