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.

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!

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.
