From Trump’s speech at the National Christmas Tree Lighting:
“We’re settling wars at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.”
Um--and I mean this on so many levels--WTF?

Yes, I know NYT played the story prominently on its homepage for a while yesterday. But its print play is a more deliberate sign of what it thinks is important. This is a 5-alarm fire, with a racist criminal running the country. Responsible news orgs need to act like that's a huge problem. 2/🧵

The NY Times said Trump labeling Somalis as “garbage” was “shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” Then NYT put the story on Page 13. When Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution in 2022, NYT put it on Page 13, too. In case you wonder if NYT has learned anything in the last 3 years. 1/🧵

What I’d like to see in the media is less “If Biden had done this…” comparisons and more reminders that we wouldn’t be in this fascist mess if Republican Congress members had simply A) rightly voted to impeach Trump the first time, and B) had refused to confirm Trump’s horrific cabinet picks.

At this point it actually seems that by NOT invoking the 25th, the VP and Republican lawmakers are actually breaking the law themselves.

Having an inarticulate man who has never been in a grocery store give an inaccurate speech to people who are in grocery stores all the time that is full of easily disproven lies about how grocery prices are going down isn't a winning "affordability" strategy.

Jane ROCKS!
My new piece for @thenation.com: Jane Fonda bringing back the Committee for the First Amendment is both an inspiring and cautionary tale of history, hardball politics, and bottom lines.

If Trump had replaced the protestors in his AI poop video with a picture of the Constitution, it would’ve be a lot more realistic.

This is what my brother saw driving up the I-5 freeway from San Diego (where Camp Pendleton is) to Los Angeles. It's hard to believe this is America now.

You know when two parents hate each other, fight all the time, and use their kids as weapons? This is what it feels like living in the US now: the American public is like one of those kids.
