I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Ha. How about this then:
Jared Kushner: $6 billion in Gulf money. Roughly $90 million a year in fees. A protected island in Albania. All while negotiating a war for the United States.
Me: I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.
If that set your hair on fire, where is all your outrage now?
COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

Nearly every night, Donald Trump sends dozens of nonsensical Truth Social posts and AI slop. He’s unfit and a danger to this country and the world. I am once again calling on Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Trump fell asleep with his face drooping in the Oval Office during a meeting today. This is a real video that should concern every American. He’s not fit to serve.
Donald Trump posted 55 times on social media between 10:00 pm and 1 am. His posting spree included calls to arrest Obama, Clinton, Comey etc. He also attacked his own DOJ for not charging them with treason.
This man is not well. 25th Amendment now.
trump calls the White House a “shithouse.” Calls a reporter a “bitch.” Screams at Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” And not a peep from the media. Do not become numb to this. None of this is acceptable. How far we have fallen as a nation
"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does.
If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation.
Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.
25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.
Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!
I’ve always believed that one of our jobs as leaders is to pass the baton on to the next generation –– and to give them the resources and support they need to lead us forward. On National Run for Office Day, check out @RFSCivics for the resources you need. https://t.co/r9SJeKOLKK
