Correct me if I'm wrong, but Trump is now under investigation for tax fraud, election fraud, insurrection and violating the Espionage Act. And he's the Republican frontrunner for 2024
I'm not religious but I've read the Bible cover to cover. I simply can't understand how evangelicals view Trump as anything but the embodiment of everything Jesus opposed
If I understand correctly, a Christian woman invented a hypothetical scenario in which she felt threatened by imaginary gay people, and the Supreme Court not only agreed to hear the case but ruled that her bigotry is acceptable
God, I'm tired of hearing how Republicans privately want to get rid of Trump but won't say so publicly for fear he'll ruin them with a tweet. If you're that big a pussy, you have no business in public service
Reminder: Trump tried to get me fired after I was among the first to question the legitimacy of Trump University. He settled that fraud case for $25 million
Airlines banned smoking on flights because of the danger of second-hand smoke. But an airborne virus in an enclosed cabin during a global pandemic -- no big deal
Seemingly arbitrary price markups are a defining characteristic of the U.S. healthcare system. But to see price hikes of as much as 675% being imposed in real time, automatically, by a hospital’s computer system is still shocking
Most religious scholars agree the Sermon on the Mount is the most accurate depiction of Jesus' beliefs. Even a casual reading indicates Jesus would have been appalled by Trump's words and deeds
If reports are correct, the secret documents Trump is trying to hide under his Mar-a-Lago mattress involve Russia's efforts to get him elected. Seems more important than ever for the government to get them back
Hannity: “I can’t imagine you ever saying, ‘Bring me some boxes we brought back from the White House. I’d like to look at them.’”
Trump: “I would do that..I have the right to take stuff! You know they ended up paying Nixon $18 million for what he had.”
Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama returned to the White House on Wednesday for the unveiling of their official White House portraits -- marking their first joint return since they left in 2017.
"That's all I hear about now. Turn on TV, 'Covid, Covid, Covid Covid Covid.' A plane goes down, 500 people dead, they don't talk about it. 'Covid Covid Covid Covid.' By the way, on November 4th, you won't hear about it anymore ... 'please don't go and vote, Covid!'" -- Trump
I'm saddened to share that Jupiter's body was found beneath a neighbor's home. He was an exceptional cat, one of a kind, and we're profoundly grateful for all the love from his extended Twitter family
I'm a little confused by those who are outraged by the ethics of a prosecutor regarding her love life but have no problem with the ethics of a former president who tried to overturn an election he lost
The poorly educated probably don't realize that talks with the EU on lowering tariffs began under Obama. Trump halted them. Now he's started them again and claiming a trade win
I'm getting a lot of nice emails from readers who didn't know they qualified for a piece of the

I'm a little confused by the LA billionaire who's spending more than $30 million of his own money so he can become mayor and spend millions in taxpayer money solving homelessness
Just so we're clear: California Republican Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, voted *against* allocating funds to rebuild long-neglected roads, bridges, airports and other infrastructure projects
Israeli PM Netanyahu: "The time has come to investigate the investigators. The time has come to investigate the attorney general that initiates these kinds of investigations."
President Biden urges Congress to pass stricter gun control measures following the mass shooting at a rail yard in San Jose, California, that left 8 dead.
Republican friends: It's pretty simple -- if Trump had evidence of widespread election fraud, he'd have presented it. Dozens of courts have weighed his claims and not one concluded he's telling the truth. He's lying. You're being had
People have been predicting for weeks that we're going to be foster fails. Now that Lupin has reached his adoption weight, my wife has prepared a modest response
I'm re-reading
@StephenKing
's Salem's Lot. Vampires take over an idyllic town but the local residents are too deep in denial to acknowledge they have monsters in their midst. It all feels oddly familiar (to use a vampire word)
The ironic thing is, we probably wouldn't have known about the severity of Trump's document theft if he hadn't publicized the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. The FBI was trying to keep things quiet
Woman at Trump rally in GA today says she supports Trump because she’s a diabetic and insulin costs so much and she appreciates all he did to try to lower insulin costs.
Some personal news (which I was going to share in coming days but is already now out there): After 15 great years at the

The harsh reality is that the U.S. is one of the few developed countries that allow pharmaceutical companies to charge whatever they want for prescription drugs
Eric Trump says all money paid by foreign governments at Trump hotels was donated to the Treasury Department. That's easy enough to prove by showing the paperwork
The NYT reports that dentists oppose adding dental coverage to Medicare because they think they won't make enough money. Our screwed-up healthcare system
The conservative Catholic archbishop of San Francisco said Friday that he will no longer allow U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to receive Communion because of her support for abortion rights.
I dipped into a Netflix documentary on how Hitler did what he did. It said many Germans were attracted to his grandiose style and his insistence that he alone could restore German pride and fix mistakes of the past
Elon Musk driving Twitter into the ground in just two weeks makes you wonder if financial authorities shouldn't be taking a closer look at his managing of Tesla and SpaceX
It seems like ancient history, but remember when Trump hijacked the daily COVID briefings so he could be on TV every day (and repeatedly misled the nation)?
When the Supreme Court convenes Tuesday, it will be confronted with a high-stakes case that pits the Second Amendment right to bear arms against a law that seeks to protect victims of domestic violence by keeping guns away from their alleged abusers.
Settling in: My
@KTLA
cubby now has my pic and the letter Trump sent to the LA Times trying to get me fired for reporting on one of his 'university' seminars
I remain mystified by evangelicals such as our new House speaker, who define themselves by their piety but nevertheless adore a thrice-married adulterer who embodies all seven deadly sins (envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth and wrath)
Polls consistently show that the more educated you are, the more likely you'll vote Democrat. If I was a Republican politician, I'd really pause to consider that
The national debt rose by almost 36% to $27 trillion under Trump. Yet GOP lawmakers raised the debt limit THREE TIMES during the Trump administration without once demanding spending cuts or other concessions
One of the most damning things I heard last night was that Republican lawmakers were begging Trump for pardons once they realized their coup had failed
After running up a $3 trillion deficit with irresponsible tax cuts for the rich, Republican lawmakers have drawn the line at providing more assistance for working people during a global pandemic
As I just suggested on
@KTLA
, the solution for Adidas is to donate all that Yeezy merch to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. A humanitarian gesture, a huge PR boost and even a tax writeoff to boot
Republican lawmakers are openly admitting their party can't win elections unless they cheat. How is this not one of the most important issues of our time?
Larry Elder once interviewed me on the radio about healthcare. I asked him if, as someone with a pre-existing condition, I should lose coverage if I lost my job. He said yes, because I have no right to healthcare
