Come for the debates on the pressing political issues of the day, stay for the debates about whether I bear some passing resemblance to…Billy Bob Thornton??

Zohran Mamdani leads the NYC polls, so Cuomo allies (like Bill Ackman) are pushing Curtis Sliwa to drop out.

I don't see why Sliwa — the nominee of a major party, unlike Cuomo — should do that.

Trump and a third term?

I don't *think* something so obviously unconstitutional could happen. But I also don't assume he or Bannon are joking.

Huge crowd at the D.C. #NoKings protest, under scrutiny from the rooftops.

Hopefully we can all survive this outbreak of dangerous radicalism.

DC #NoKings protest.

No Kings, MAGA getting mad, and the criminalization of dissent.

Part of my monologue today on Rising.

Trump, Harvard, research funding and college blacklists…

Another robust but very enjoyable debate with Leland Vittert on @
NewsNation’s “On Balance.”

If Harvard’s not going to fight Trump, who is?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the latest in a line of right-wing figures who want Derek Chauvin to be pardoned.

Chauvin murdered George Floyd five years ago this month.

My thoughts, in this brief clip from today’s “Rising.”

Afrikaners, aka White South Africans, outrageously accorded a warm welcome as “refugees” by Trump …who has suspended refugee resettlement for everyone else.

Corruption on its face.

Trump and the $400 million “gift” of a luxury jet from Qatar.

Trump At 100 Days — a quick recap.

Hegseth’s critics warned about his lack of managerial experience.

Now he’s holding on largely because Trump doesn’t want to bow to media criticism.

No need for moral equivocation when it comes to Josh Shapiro and arson —

— or when it comes to the moral disgrace of what has happened, with U.S. support, in Gaza.
