FWIW, RUMINT, but pretty reliable:
1. Vance key to US embrace of Russia plan on Ukraine, Rubio (and even Trump) out of the loop.
2. Vance-Rubio relations “awful.”
3. Rubio told the senators exactly what they said he told them.
4. Hegseth paranoid he’ll be shoved out, Driscoll will replace him.

Wow. This really says it all.
Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

I want an answer, too. One person should not be able to fire so quickly. Dowd is an honorable and man of reason. This person, Rebecca Kutler is not. She totally misunderstood what he was saying.
Hey @msnbc.com , seriously how is saying “Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which lead to hateful actions” a firing offense? That’s literally a basic truth about human behavior. What’s next, getting fired for stating gravity exists?
I watch your network, I expect an answer.
