“Pete Hegseth happily releases a video after each strike... He recognizes when the American people see this video, they will be repulsed. It is basically the summary execution of two people clinging to wreckage.”

"One [victim] said that she was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and Epstein kind of nudged Trump and said, 'this is a nice one, right?' If two grown men are staying there with a 14-year-old, what message can you take from that? That's a question for Trump to answer."

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

The Kennedys hosted Ella Fitzgerald, Pablo Casals, Aaron Copland, and Leonard Bernstein at the White House.

Donald Trump hosted Kid Rock.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.

An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner.
They like to cloak themselves in religion…
Then read it to them.
Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.”
