“JD Vance fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never bring ICE to the Winter Olympics’”.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

This may be well intentioned but it is misguided. What we face now is fundamentally different from what we faced in Trump's first term, and it is dangerous not to recognize that!

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Congrats to the 25 young Democrats named to that list by New York Mag—many of whom I adore—but it’s pretty bizarre to me that not one of the nominators thought of Congresswoman Sarah McBride. It’s just odd. Quite strange.

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people?

That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago.

He still has his job.
