Trump began his day taking an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He spent the rest of his day violating that oath. But NO ONE should be surprised. He told us he’d do this. The question is: Will the American people care? I hope so. And…the dangers of hyper partisanship. On full display yesterday. Actually, they’ve been on display for a number of years. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

He's the most corrupt person on the planet, and we knowingly reelected him again. He's pledged to jail his political opponents, so Joe Biden was right to issue preemptive pardons. Because Trump lies as he breathes, here's the facts on the great economy he is inheriting. Do I want Trump to succeed? I want America to remain free, democratic, and prosperous. That's my answer.

A bunch of stuff this Friday: Democrats, your brand absolutely sucks. That’s what you need to focus on. And while we’re at, sure Elon is a horse’s ass, but going after billionaires isn’t gonna help you politically. Also, I said 13 yrs ago the “two state solution” is an impossibility. It still is today. Finally, we don’t have kings in America, right? Right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anthony Conwright & I agree on very little. He’s a young, black progressive, I’m an old, white libertarian. He believes Israel is committing genocide, I most emphatically don’t. He wrote a very thought provoking piece about how the term genocide came into being and what it means and should mean. So we’re sat down to discuss it. Hosted on Acast.

Hearings began today for Trump’s pick for Attorney General, Pam Bondi. Most Americans don’t understand who or what the attorney general is. The AG is the top law enforcement officer in the country. The AG is NOT the President’s lawyer. The AG must be independent. Must not be political. Pam Bondi fails that test. She should not be appointed. And…well done Michelle Obama. Hosted on Acast.

Jack Smith's final January 6th report is out, spelling out in great detail the crimes Trump committed trying to retain power. I read it with profound sadness. Sad because the American people don’t care about it. And they should care. For the sake of our democracy, they must care. Also…good on Kamala. Hosted on Acast.

“Unstoppable.” Firefighters across the board have said these fires were unstoppable. Hard truth, but it’s the truth. Also, Trump is going to lie about the economy, let’s not let him. The truth is - Trump is inheriting a GREAT ECONOMY. And…I didn’t like Obama getting all chummy with Trump at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. I’ll explain why. Hosted on Acast.

She’s a woman of the left. Always considered herself a progressive. She’s also a transgender woman.

While the fires are still raging, and people are fleeing and dying, and losing everything they have, and while firefighters are working 48 hour shifts, Donald Trump fires off political attacks. And not just Trump. All his fellow Republicans do as well. While people are still fleeing and dying. That's wrong. And that must be condemned. Hosted on Acast.

Remember. Always remember what Republicans said on January 6th. Don’t let them forget what they said in real time. Also, hey Merrick Garland you silly institutionalist…now’s not the time for institutionalists. Not with Trump about to try to tear down our institutions. Release the final Jan 6 report.

Four years ago today there was a violent attempt to overthrow an American election. All caused SOLELY by Donald Trump. He should have been made into a pariah after January 6th. Instead, he'll be sworn in as president again in 14 days. This sad turn of events these past four years is an indictment of the American people, not of Donald Trump. Shame on us. Hosted on Acast.

Biden gave Liz Cheney a medal for her service to this country. Well deserved. Also, Donald Trump should thank Joe Biden for the great economy he’s inheriting from Biden.

A deadly act of terrorism is New Orleans, and right away Trump & all his sycophants blame migrants, illegals, & the porous border. One big problem: The terrorist was a U.S. citizen, born & raised in Texas. He served in the military too. Did Trump & his sycophants retract their accusations against migrants? You know that answer.

I used to be a political asshole. But I stopped. Because it wasn’t making things better. Being an asshole is a prerequisite to being a successful Republican today. Also, we can both recruit the best & brightest from around the world AND retrain Americans. Come on. Don’t limit this country. We can do both.

Jimmy Carter passed away yesterday. And EVERY American, no matter their politics, will say Carter was a man of decency. Donald Trump will be sworn in as President in a few weeks. And EVERY American, no matter their politics, will say that Trump is a horrible human being. What does this tell us? It tells us that because our politics is broken, Americans feel unheard. And because they feel unheard, they'll knowingly vote for a horrible person who they think heard them. And sadly, decency no longer...

I sat down with @theadam027. He’s Jewish, I’m not, but we’re both proud Zionists. We disagree however on what, if anything, government should do to address antisemitism.

Shame on Joe Biden and the people who’ve worked for Joe Biden these past 4yrs. Their dishonesty led directly to Trump’s reelection. Stop with all the “swamp” bullshit. Trump IS the swamp. Gen Z needs another kick in the ass. And it’s utter bullshit that we still don’t know why a 15yr old girl took a gun to school to kill. I’m in a bad mood this morning. Merry Christmas.

Elon Musk is dictating public policy in Washington. Right out in the open. An unelected multi-billionaire is telling Republicans in Congress and a Republican president elect what to do. If the government shuts down, it's Elon's call. Yes, DC is broken, the budget process is broken, but this isn't the way to fix it. Nobody elected Elon to anything, yet he's calling the shots.

American citizens have a right to peacefully protest in support of Hamas. They have a right to wave the Hamas Flag. It’s called freedom. It’s what makes America so unique and so great. Trump and his people want to end this freedom. That’s wrong. Trump pick for AG wants to kick students in this country on visas out of the country if they express support for Hamas. That’s wrong too.

Another school shooting. This time in Madison, WI. The shooter was 15yrs old. Only 15yrs old. She’d shown signs she was troubled. Those signs were ignored. There are other issues besides the gun.

Like any good authoritarian, Trump is using threats to intimidate our free press into silence. Acquiescence. ABC News caved last week. They gave in to the authoritarian and his threats. They shouldn't have. This is not how it's supposed to work in America... unless we all cave in and just let it work like this Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

more polling out that clearly shows more and more Republicans want Trump to be a dictator, to be an authoritarian. Polling for the past few years has shown an increasing number of Republicans and Trump supporters open to and actually supportive of an American President with the powers of a dictator. This is anathema to America, right? But why do so many Americans feel this way? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's happening isn't normal. It isn't democracy. It's wrong. And it's not who we are. We must resist it.

Trump sat down yesterday with NBC for his first media interview since he won. And virtually every word out of his mouth was a lie. Was untrue. But Americans made clear in November, that they don't care that they're being lied to like this. Forget about policy disagreements for a moment, how do we proceed as a people if so many Americans just fundamentally no longer care about the truth? What are the implications? Hosted on Acast.

A lot of talk of late of pardons. A lot of talk of late that Joe Biden should pardon Donald Trump.
