CNN: Can you at least acknowledge the stories are different- what Tulsi Gabbard said and what Trump said? Can you at least agree there's a discrepancy?
HARIDOPOLOS: This is the first I've heard of this story. I don't follow this as close as CNN does. Let's move on to issues people really care about

I did that whole “how would people cover it elsewhere” thing and, yeah, it’s bad.
Journalists at Washington, D.C.’s leading publication were not allowed to report on decisions by that publication’s leaders to lay off roughly 1/3 of the newsroom and shutter entire sections of the paper—decisions that will dramatically change news coverage in and of the nation’s capital and beyond.

There is clarity in second-term Trump increasingly confessing that many items on his to-do list—demanding tribute from universities, especially Harvard; claiming he might “take” Greenland; declaring he won an election that he knows he lost—are nothing more than efforts to boost his wounded ego.

This is the truth right here. The white upper middle class male has no idea what almost 50% of the country who is basically below the poverty line does know. We are watching. We’re cutting coupons. Buying generic. It’s privilege not to have to see almost half of the country. Now add healthcare cuts.
