"It's just not OK. It's not OK what we're doing to each other. These families should not be going through this. No family should be going through this." In an emotional report, @SaraSidnerCNN shared the pain that comes with covering the deadly coronavirus.

These people have argued in bad faith for so long that I’m secondhand embarrassed for anyone who takes their stances seriously. There’s nothing there, no moral center, no guiding principles, just opportunism and fuckery.

Spoiler alert: they’re going to do it anyway so throw the book at whoever, whenever
The messaging from Trump, Fox News and the GOP is that if we impeach, they’ll attack America again.

Like, I would also very pettily enjoy 🤡 losing his post-presidential stipend, but that isn’t my major concern. Does anyone believe he should have advance notification to where vulnerable members of the administration will be traveling? Does anyone think that is prudent or safe?

It is foolish to think concerns about 🤡 will go away if we just wait him out until inauguration, and such cowardice will begin a countdown that will blow up in all our faces.

If a national security briefing includes warnings about imminent attacks from named white supremacist groups, do they trust such information in this president’s hands? Can they say, unequivocally, that he will never give, say, the Pr*ud Boys a heads up?

One of many questions that should be asked of every talking head cautioning against impeachment and removal: Do you think this president should have access to national security briefings after he leaves office?

What kills me is that every person who has been wrong about how this would escalate are many of the same people preaching caution and temperance in enforcing consequences. You’ve been wrong for five years, what makes you think you’re getting it right now?

“I didn’t think it would get this bad.” If you don’t think it can get so, so much worse, understand (said kindly) that you lack the imagination to be a useful political strategist for this moment. Stand aside. Please.

It’s really disheartening to see political Cassandras continue being ignored especially when it is to protect the egos of those who lack their prescience. Too many people who should be embarrassed into silence for how wrong they have been still taking up all the air in the room.

DJ Switch did not make allegations. She streamed the shooting on her Instagram Live. Pass it on.

Junior can’t run a hand through his hair let alone an organization of that size.
Three GOP sources, including close advisers to the president, say Donald Trump Junior and Kimberly Guilfoyle are making moves to expand their influence at the RNC, with sources saying they may seek to take over the party structure themselves.
