I joined Nicolle Wallace to discuss Trump's weaponization of the Justice Department to indict political opponents like Rep. LaMonica McIver, the military’s deployment in Los Angeles and the president’s weekend birthday parade.
I hope you watch, learn and share.

So much for small government and states’ rights. The hypocrisy is dangerously absurd. Trump is now suing Colorado and Denver, accusing them of obstructing federal immigration actions the latest salvo in his push to force local governments to carry out deportations.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?
The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”
