Per Puck’s Leigh Ann Caldwell, Spartz flipped on the budget vote after Trump screamed at her:
“others could clearly hear the president’s voice screaming out of the speaker. She was a fake Republican derailing his agenda, he yelled. He was the president, he reminded her.”

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

“It has become painfully self-evident that Democratic self-restraint is a form of unilateral disarmament that neither persuades Trump to refrain from bad behavior nor wins points among the undecided. It is time—well past time—for responsible Democrats to use every tool in their tool kit.”

“...for all those attacking President Biden for this decision, I’d urge you to look at the bigger picture here...Biden made the correct choice to protect his son against the powerful unfettered vindictiveness that is to come in a few short weeks.”
In Defense of the Hunter Biden Pardon
This was a tough call—but consider what Trump’s weaponized Justice Department would have done to Biden’s son.

The headline should be “In unprecedented move Trump says he will fire the FBI director and replace him with a political loyalist.”
Instead NYT pretends that this is just another “appointment,” like HHS or Ag.

“A willingness to evade the rule of law is the foundation of Donald Trump’s entire career in business and politics, not a nepotistic exception. Still, principles become much harder to defend when their most famous defenders have compromised them flagrantly.”
