Whoa. Jeff Daniels. Did any of you see/hear him perform that song he wrote, "This Crazy World," on Deadline White House? The lyrics are beautiful and poignant, and... Wow. Just when I'd thought I couldn't love Jeff Daniels more than I already do, he does THAT.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic.
This is horror.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?
