Reminder for political journalists: Since searching through Donald Trump's Truth Social posts is so obnoxiously difficult, my brilliant colleague @chrisgherbert.bsky.social built a comprehensive database a few months ago. It's *super* helpful.

Anger over Smith’s dismissals of the Trump cases is understandable, but it’s the only move he had. By filing preemptively, he keeps the cases alive for 2029. My thoughts in MSNBC Daily.

"Conflict of interest" means your interests conflict with mine, and I'm in power, so you lose.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
