Bondi reading from formatted lines on paper in answering a question to Sen Whitehouse about whether Tom Homan kept the 50k is quite telling…to say the least
These survivors and their family members are stronger and more courageous and better at speaking publicly than the overwhelming majority of people in public office. This is so incredibly powerful.
When the Epstein files enter the chat…you know the bromance may actually be over…
Always a sign of strength when you start attacking your own supporters…just kind of a dead give away.
It is incredibly rare and courageous for a career official to resign and speak out. Michael Feinberg was an FBI official until last week. He joins me tonight. Lots of qs. And he wrote this eye popping piece about what happened: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...
Coming up at 8pm. Will talk about all the reasons why the tariffs are not fine and talk with Senator Warren about that. Plus Rep. Raskin and one of the former DOJ lawyers who was fired and testified today.
Chaotic and cruel Friday today. Really hard to watch that video of a 16 year old being slammed to the ground by ICE agents, Newark mayor arrested (had every right to be there) Stephen Miller musing about gets g rid of habeas corpus. We will talk about all of it at 9pm.
Even as we are all wading through a massive fire hose of news….and figuring out what matters and what doesn’t…the takeover of the treasury dept payment system by Musk posse is one we should pay attention to.
Ok moms and dads. This one is rage inducing. Mike Johnson shut the floor down for a week to prevent a bill that would have allowed proxy voting for new parents in congress (meaning when a parent is on leave with a newborn a colleague can cast the vote for them)
The backdrop of speech tonight is Trump’s top advisor just eviscerated him and his agenda on the record, lowest approval ratings on the economy of his presidency, jack smith is destroying him today, House Rs just signed a discharge petition on healthcare and the epstein files are due tomorrow
Governor Pritzker unapologetically calls it like he sees it from how rigged the system is for working people to how to simplify the economic message any number of Trump’s failures. (And more malort…a Chicago icon) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Obsessed with the women’s flag football commercial. Sorry Brad
The glad handing with Putin and riding in the presidential limo together and laughing is quite a start here…
Remember when Grassley was actually a defender of whistleblowers….
Maga meltdown over bad bunny commencing
You know when you are in a movie and there are so many previews about movies on a bunch of different topics and you almost forget what movie you are there to see…that is what it feels like watching this trump speech (and really any trump speech)
Not to be lost in the news of the 90 day freeze…is the fact that Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to take away their own power (which Congress has) in the future to stop Trump from putting in place crazy tariffs in the future. This is the 2nd time this year they have done this.
Flashback to three weeks ago with Justin Trudeau...
I mean….gaslighting at its finest…from the NYT “In announcing the pause, the White House repeatedly tried to suggest it was part of a premeditated strategy…Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, said it was Mr. Trump’s “strategy all along.”
Watching Cory Booker make some good trouble on the floor. We will bring you some of that. Talk about it. As well as the latest on signal gate, Trumps third term dreams and effort to change the subject plus the dem who may win in Florida tomorrow. All coming up at 8pm.
This day was about empowerment of incredible survivors and we are going to spend a lot of the show talking with the family of Virginia Giuffre, with @pressley.house.gov and sharing some of the many powerful moments today. @ossoff.bsky.social will also be here to talk about vaccines, CDC & RFK Jr
Ok starting the show with Bob Woodward tonight. Few people know more about what is required of improtant national security jobs in government. senator elect Andy Kim, Rep (and gubernatorial candidate for the great state of VA) Abigail Spanbergr. And the one and only Jacob Soboroff.
Little low energy Don here..
For anyone who thinks there was no difference between the candidates on foreign policy. (Very much not the case) Trump just made clear he thinks Palestinians should leave Gaza and a Putin apologist is well on her way to overseeing US intelligence. A banner day!
