As a journalist, it's not my job to tell you who to vote for. As a journalist, it IS my job to warn you that if we vote Donald Trump back into office, it may be the last vote we ever cast. https://t.co/Jhv2k8QOOI

America, we got lucky. On the laundry list of things Donald Trump has been terrible at in his life, transforming our country into a fascist autocracy was only the latest. After four years of constant...

He tore down part of a public structure to do it.
It’s… privately funded.

Mark Halperin is one of those men who got MeTooed, found a welcoming home on the right, and now has had his brain turn to mush.
This was one of the most egregious moments of all the "news" coverage of the Brown shooting. Mark Halperin used to be a real reporter. Here, he repeated a second- or third-hand rumor that he had done nothing to check, a rumor guaranteed to gin up RW hysteria.

“The” Donald J. Trump and “The” John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Is anyone on the board familiar with how definite articles work in the English language?
Ambassador @RichardGrenell is 100% correct. The Trump-Kennedy Board of Trustees acted lawfully and appropriately in passing a resolution to add President Trump’s name to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. The building remains a

If you happened to have missed Trump's rally in North Carolina last night, don't worry. Shakespeare gave a useful synopsis 400 years ago. Macbeth (V. v. 26-28) https://t.co/lUMHGFz1kn

“And then you have 'Marjorie Traitor Brown,' I call her ... because green turns to brown under stress,” Trump said at a rally in North Carolina.

This man has been ordering up murder every few days. And he sent hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp to be tortured. Want to talk about dangerous? He's your poster child.
As Americans get ready to celebrate Christmas, the George W. Bush Presidential Center is very earnestly posting about the urgent need for unfettered migration from the most dangerous nations on planet earth, while effectively conceding some of these migrants will try to kill us.

That is correct. They are every bit as American as those who came in earlier waves of immigration.
By this logic Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Mehdi Hasan are just as American as someone who traces their lineage to the Mayflower Sorry this just doesn’t work

When Fox News dabbled in conspiracy theories about the 2020 election the network was universally condemned and had to pay a massive defamation settlement. There are no guardrails anymore. The biggest accounts on here have convinced their followers of an incredibly stupid lie
Biden won Georgia by 11,779 votes. Now, over 5 years later, they admit 315,000 votes in Georgia were actually counted illegally.

Maricopa's ballots were recounted by Trump supporters if you recall Kelli.
@Heminator @Steph93065 We don’t know who won in Arizona either. Well, actually, we DO know, but we aren’t allowed to say it.

The White House could have released this information at any point. It took an act of Congress, that Trump lobbied against, for them to release *some* files, contrary to the law.
Most transparent Administration in history.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” https://t.co/FIErTJzxg4

So, the Trump administration blew the deadline on the Epstein files. Its redactions also went far beyond what the law passed by Congress prescribed. As a refresher, here's what Americans thought even before all of this:

While a bunch of journalists were at the Kennedy Center taking pictures today, I asked the VP of Facilities and Operations at the Kennedy Center a direct question: “Matt, is this the first time that you’ve defaced a public building?“ Only at Law Dork: https://t.co/9kz8LBGhuD

Thinking about the arc of Rep. Elise Stefanik's career in Congress and politics, I'm reminded of her statement about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that she deleted.

Rep. Ro Khanna says there were two key documents the survivors wanted released — a 60-count indictment before Epstein got his sweetheart deal and an 82-page memo backing it up — but neither are in today’s release.

Maybe a different lesson is don’t participate in attempted coups.
I am a J6er. My father's stepson reported me to the FBI. Half of J6ers were turned in by family or friends. Driving a wedge in the nuclear family and creating distrust of your neighbors is a pillar of Communism. Truth and Justice matter. God bless the J6ers!

This person should sue every single person who wrote or shared a social media post defaming him and should sue the social media companies for profiting from the defamation.
NEW: Statements from Mustapha Kharbouch, the Brown University student falsely accused online of being the campus shooter, and their legal team. "The past few days have been an unimaginable nightmare," Kharbouch says. "I received non-stop death threats and hate speech."

Mark, I mean this. Election Security is multi-layered. These ballots were properly checked in and reconciled to the count. They were further re-scanned with tapes signed during the recount. Whether you mean to or not you are pushing a lie right now and advocating for 315,000
I mean this is… really bad. We genuinely can’t say with confidence who won Georgia in 2020. Brad Raffensperger got a lot of plaudits for standing up to Trump, but boy, does he suck at his job.
