Trump: "I'm also going to indemnify all police officers and law enforcement officials throughout the US to protect them from being destroyed by the radical left ... once [criminals] see things happening that they never thought would happen to them, it'll all stop overnight"

4 BILLION dollars spent on @Delta’s new terminal C in @LGAairport and this is the “mother’s room” in the Sky Club lounge: a $12 folding chair and no changing table.

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

As the Supreme Court's majority opinion makes so clear, we, as a society, must understand that colorblind rhetoric will do nothing to solve color-bound problems. Now more than ever, we need our leaders to have the courage to confront our history and our challenges head-on.

Next time Kevin McCarthy or another Republican cries about how "unfair" the DOJ is to indict Trump on espionage charges. Or goes on Fox and decries "the two tiered justice system" That is "treating Donald Trump so unfairly". Is Donald Trump being treated "so unfair"? Here are 4 people who were charged with espionage. The same as Donald Trump. Neither was allowed to turn themselves in to the court. They were arrested and hauled into court in handcuffs . All were held without bond. Michael Pollard (left) Life in prison. John Walker (right) Life without parole. Currently serving his time at the Florence, Colorado Super-Max prison where he is locked down 23 hours a day. And Ethel and Julies Rosenberg (bottom right) Charge: Espionage (same as Trump) penalty: Death in the Electric Chair. Now ask if they still feel poor little Donald Trump is " being treated worse than anybody in the history of America". Since they are MAGA/GOP the hypocrisy of their words will never get through to them. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1

This is what America's air would look like every day if it wasn't for the EPA regulations that Republicans want to strip away.

Over the last few years I've spent a lot of thinking and writing about the disconnect between what was clearly an improving American economy and polls showing Americans not feeling it.

I keep wondering whether how we poll around the economy is incomplete somehow. 1/

12-step meetings can be very much like religious indoctrination. And for those court-appointed to 12-step meetings, it’s state-sponsored religious indoctrination. I left 12-step groups 8-10 years ago, no longer feel like a fraud, & I’m 19 years alcohol-free still.

The real War on Christmas is Putin's war in Ukraine that lead to Zelinsky's speech that closed the President's Park so I couldn't see the National Christmas Tree. Putin sucks.

U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Pretty amazing that the passage of the Omnibus earlier may be the last major piece of legislation Speaker Pelosi presides over. Democrats not only avoided a government shutdown, but we invested in veterans, education, clean clean, & democracy. Huge win. Thank you, Speaker Pelosi.

Sean Hannity lied to his audience for nearly 2 years that the 2020 election were stolen, yet we just found out the he testified under oath that he “did not believe it for one second,”

A shameless liar.

I don’t care about Hunter Biden’s laptop, but I do care about Ginni Thomas’ texts.

@Corylee75 @KilroyIsHere_2 @JoJoFromJerz @ACTBrigitte Because everyone knows if one person didn't hear about something in the news, it obviously didn't happen. Maybe read or research before commenting

Fox's Jesse Watters: "... But single women and voters under 40 have been captured by Democrats. So we need these ladies to get married. And it's time to fall in love and just settle down. Guys, go put a ring on it."

[Rep. Saira Draper @SairaForGeorgia]

Don't tell me energy is low around voting.

Just received a report out of Kansas that a voter was told she couldn't vote while wearing her partisan t-shirt.

So she took it off and voted in her bra.

I have been hearing the idea from some Republicans that Ukrainian resistance comes at a cost to Americans. Nothing could be more wrong. Ukrainian resistance provides extraordinary security benefits to Americans. 1/
