I roll my eyes at the slightest hint of conspiracy theory, but I was incredulous watching this mob stroll in. The fix was clearly in. The co-conspirators in command need to face justice.
At least 18 confirmed dead. Networks: PLEASE DON’T SCORE THIS. No graphics awarding him a blankiest blank ever. 18 is horrible. That’s enough.

Great story. Of course Pence will go down as a coward, but for caving to Trump for 4 years, not for finally quitting the botched coup attempt, once it was dead in the water. He saved a tiny fragment of dignity that day.

Nailed it. I really appreciate his disarming response to vilification: "Maybe we'll just have him over"--let Johnson hang with them getting the toddlers ready for school. "...the love of God is in that house." Clearly.
@PeteButtigieg
Wow. Pete Buttigieg just responded to Mike Johnson saying his same-sex marriage is the “dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy” that will destroy the country.
@AmyJBrittain
Agreed. I'm also puzzled by their apology for posting pictures of protesters--(and calling it a traumatizing event). Public protests are PUBLIC events--and pretty much media events. How does someone stage a protest and then say they're traumatized by being seen at it?
Kamala just signaled a major new priority. There was a nice little segment on gun safety in 2020, on the Tuesday, I believe, early evening and brief.
NOTHING like this amazing, extended, personal sequence deep into prime time on the final night.

Treat these early reports with a boulder of salt. Harris & Klebold were also depicted as loners. Nonsense. There is a (false) profile which survivors often believe is the correct answer. And Day 1, most people close to the killer are usually in hiding—not talking to us.

Never forget the faces & names of the 13 humans killed at Columbine.
Sadly, I came to know them only, secondhand, through their family and friends, and it still hurts. I can only imagine what it's like for the people who lost them. Each one is such a loss.

Haha. I had no idea BS was on the forbidden list! (Obviously.) I really enjoyed doing your show: a breath of fresh air for me in a really dark day. Now I know why I enjoy watching it so much: you’re exactly the same off camera as on. Refreshing.
@kamilumin
The Columbine reporting was so badly botched that most of what the public believes about it is wrong. But this nonsense has made a resurgence lately. There has been a scary series of white supremacist mass murders, most recently in El Paso. But Columbine, no.
Looking forward to this in 40 minutes. (I think I’m on at the top of the show.) Also eager to hear how the Columbine survivors are doing during this. Who are you having on?

No more moments of silence! 20 years of horrific mass shootings is plenty of time to act. Vote tomorrow. Let them hear you. Vote on guns.

Such whiny babies in that family. And you left out a word: 'illegal' White House aides. This nepotism was outlawed after the 60s, so they pretend it's not a job if they don't take a paycheck. If you have a title, office, subordinates, power, security clearance...They're Illegals.
If Jared and Ivanka can’t handle scrutiny of their disastrous actions, they shouldn’t have signed up to be high-level White House aides to dad/father-in-law.
Really moving, personal story of what it felt like diving into this horror. And this, "This never, ever, leaves you..." That's for sure. Thanks for writing it, and quoting me. It's not too late for us to do something.

Thank you. This is maddening. The media gets so focused on the horserace of everything that they feel compelled to report that some bullshitters may twist he latest intel into something false and convince people of the lie, thereby propagating the lie.
Dear media:
Please stop claiming that the IG report gives "fodder" to Trump's attacks on the Mueller probe.
There is no neutral way to make this claim. It effectively endorses bad-faith lies about the IG report's actual findings.

A psychopath will always believe he can con you, no matter the history or odds. And it’s not like he weighs the potential outcomes and believes he will overcome overwhelming odds. He never imagines anything but winning. He will always win—even if he always loses.
After Woodward’s first Trump administration book came out, he went around on the circuit and basically said, in condensed version, Trump is a raging loon who is a danger to the world. And so Trump gives Woodward 18 interviews...
This clown posse gets everything backwards. Best way to spook the markets is to hide data from them.
