What to make of the 1/6 committee report that dropped last night?
I was live on CNN for real-time reaction about the takeaways & surprises
A thread
1. First, last, and foremost, Trump committed crimes…
We are three people that haven’t always agreed on everything, but we’re still talking. Check out the conversation I had with @CondoleezzaRice and @jonstewart on @theproblem this week.

This was about corrupt, disgraced, twice impeached FPOTUS Trump conjuring an extortion scheme to investigate Biden to steal the 2020 Election. This episode planted the seeds of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Incase we forgot, this Hunter Biden stuff was cooked up by Trump and Giuliani.
This is completely and utterly out of hand. While there are many potential solutions, here’s one that the Court could adopt in one minute: OPERATE UNDER THE SAME ETHICS RULES AS EVERY OTHER FEDERAL JUDGE. https://t.co/BJ1ZGMFWZ4
The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.
Donald Trump said he financed his 2016 campaign with “100% of his own money.” This week, GOP operative Jesse Benton was convicted in federal court of funneling $25,000 from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Most GOP elected officials are not really public servants. They're performers. Chaos and placing blame are what they know. They trust the echo chambers, believing they can win through repetition.
Americans did NOT vote for a GOP revenge tour, but this is all they know how to do.
Creating and anchoring @NBCNowTonight has been an honor. Tonight (Fri Nov 18), that journey ends.
This is my last day @NBCNews.
Tune in 8pET for my final broadcast, with a personal note to you. Thank you so much for supporting me on @NBCNewsNOW & @Peacock. Onward!
Seriously how does @ElieNYC STILL not have a commentator contract at MSNBC despite being on all the shows, very popular, good TV and now a best-selling author? It's because corporate believes he is the "scary" Black man for "real" (white) America and fear right-wing backlash.
Approximately 22 hours ago Elon Musk posted posted poll "Reinstate former President Trump."
12 minutes later I replied to his poll with poll “Indict former President Trump."
With 2 hours left on both, 52% support reinstatement on Elon’s poll and 65% support indictment on mine.
No, both sides are not the same.
One wants a theocracy with unfettered capitalism and oligarchs at the helm
The other wants billionaires to pay a bit more in taxes so we can afford healthcare for everyone.
