Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.
This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

The fact people care about a "client list" from Jeffrey Epstein rather than restitution for his victims shows conspiracy theorists never about justice for these girls. They cared about weaponizing his horrific actions to "expose" their enemies.
