Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

A thread about what’s hot this holiday season:

It’s food.

If you’re trying to figure out what to give each other this holiday season?

It’s food. Give soups, teas, coffees and fruit. Make sure everyone you know is eating.

Interesting...Pope Leo cites Matthew's gospel, "Jesus says very clearly, at the end of the world, we're going to be asked, you know how you did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him and welcome him or not?"

hmm. do we know anyone who has been blathering lately about getting into heaven?
Oh — the situation has escalated.

Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

The way Trump and Mike Johnson are handling the shutdown isn’t acceptable or normal. When one party wants the votes of another party, you negotiate, you come to a compromise, and pass a bill. That is Schoolhouse Rock! And it’s how things should be.

Nothing that any elected Democrat has ever said about Republican voters is ever as crass or as cruel as what Trump says about Democratic constituencies every single day, and the media just treats it as background noise.

Oh, SMACK. Alex Padilla nails it! 📣

If they were going after "law-breakers," they wouldn't be stalking immigrants who are dutifully following the legal process.

If they were going after people for not paying their way, they wouldn't be hunting down taxpayers!

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled.

Not hate. Not celebration of death.

Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known.

Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

American leadership in science, technology, engineering, international standing and leadership is vaporizing right in front of our eyes on an incredibly short time frame due to the completely broken policies of the current president and his administration.

The median German citizen was not killed or imprisoned during the Third Reich, so it’s hard to see how anti-Nazism is a winning message for the left.

📌NOTE TO PRESS: You are allowed to push back, ask follow-up questions, and correct lies for the record when questioning anybody, but mostly when questioning the most notorious liar on the planet.
In fact, that's your fucking job.

The analogy of Anne Frank not dying of typhus but of the Nazis killing her is spot on. Our press is failing us spectacularly in many ways

Wow. This amazingly frames things, both in our nation and in individual situations
This week I dug deep into the Paradox of Tolerance.

We might hope still to build a new house to replace the one abusive bullies are burning down, after centuries of decades of being enabled in the name of civility.

If we do, the new house will need new locks.

I’m unable to identify the source of this flip, but, it’s compelling. The #CupOfJoe delivered by the professor is commanding. “You didn’t say anything because you weren’t affected yourself.”

Powerful lesson there. We are all affected. Be a part of the solution.
