This hurts and I’m tired of it.
The horrible new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Donald ahead by 9 points against President Biden.
The MEDIA is to blame for this.
In 2016, watching broadcast and cable news normalize Donald, a corrupt and incompetent man, was very difficult for me to endure.
They presented him as if he were a legitimate candidate, despite the many failures and crimes he’d left in his path for over 60 years.
They had no problem airing his rallies in full; they ignored credible allegations of business fraud and sexual assault—as well as actual evidence of his multiple bankruptcies, horrific treatment of treatment of workers, and gob-smacking failure as a “deal-maker.”
And you know what’s horrifying?
They are doing it again. And this time, it’s worse.
As cable news organizations struggle for ratings, they spend more time talking about Biden’s age than Donald’s 4 indictments, 91 criminal charges, and disastrous first terms. Plus, Biden is only THREE years older than Donald!!! In 2016, Donald was the oldest president in history to be elected and no one talked about his age.
That’s because this narrative is complete bullshit.
It is not normal for someone with 91 criminal charges across four jurisdictions to be a party’s front runner for president.
It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who’s accused of launching a coup against our country as a legitimate candidate.
It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who was found legally responsible for rape as a legitimate candidate.
None of this is normal.
I know this poll is an outlier, but in a sane country Biden would be ahead by 40 points. In a healthy, functioning democracy, Donald would not even be allowed to run.
I’m fighting back in part by cataloguing in my newsletter not just his crimes but the crimes and complicity of his enablers. We know the corporate media won’t do it on their own. 👇🧵
Help me get the word out before the media’s kid glove treatment gets Donald back into the White House.
We can’t let that happen.
Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected.
Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote.
Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned.
Only 1 President has ever been criminally indicted.
Only ONE has done ALL FOUR.
The NY AG has asked the court to rule that there is no factual dispute that Trump/Trump Org "presented grossly & materially inflated asset values..&..used [them] to defraud banks & insurers in her lawsuit alleging the Trumps fraudulently enriched themselves. She says that in 2014, Trump inflated his wealth by $2.2B. Trial is set in October. https://t.co/WU63sBbHyW
It's the smell of desperation: attacking prosecutors when a defendant has no defense to stand on. But in Georgia, it's being taken to new and dangerous levels. Impossible to view this as anything other then an effort by Georgia GOP to place Trump above the law.
60 years ago today, 250,000 Americans came to DC for the March on Washington to demand an end to racism.
May we honor all who fought for our rights while recommitting to the work ahead. In the spirit of MLK and the dream of a nation that is truly equal, the fight continues.
Always helpful to note that we’ve had 46 U.S. Presidents, and they’ve been indicted on a total of 91 felony charges. Here’s how it breaks down:
1-44: 0
45: 91
46: 0
Make no mistake about it, a second Trump term would be the end of America as we know it. We must do everything we can to stop Trump.

A Republican voter in Iowa:
“I’ve been a Republican my whole life. Yes, I agree with some of Trump’s policies, but the guy does not belong back in WH…
I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my life. I had to vote for one last time. I voted for Biden…people like me are going to be the ones that are going to keep Trump out!”
