Even before the 1st criminal trial of an ex-POTUS began, Trump was behind bars--the ones outside the courtroom to separate him from TV cameras he plays to as he comes & goes. Bad optics, just 1 reason this trial could be more damaging than thought.

If Gore had picked Graham as his VP in 2000, they would’ve won Florida and thus the election! Of this I am convinced.

Murders have dropped by TWENTY PERCENT (!!) in 200 cities in the last year.

Many of Biden's policies explain this insane drop in crime, but the 2022 gun bill is a big part of the explanation.

Guess what? If you pass laws to stop criminals from getting guns, there's less crime!

You know who else wanted to go to their kids High School graduations next month? The parents of the Sandy Hook victims.

Keep confessing, thank you

David Ellison, the son of Trump supporting billionaire Larry Ellison, cut a max-out check ($929,600) to the Biden Victory Fund last quarter…

I will never understand the willingness of Republicans to humiliate themselves by defending the indefensible. Chris Sununu has no future in the Republican party. He knows it. He's comfortable financially. But he has such a need for approval from his tribe that he will…

The kerfuffle at the Ford presidential foundation reveals a grim truth about U.S. institutions: Too many lack the guts to stand up to the threat that is Trump, thereby contributing to the alarming staying power of the once & perhaps future POTUS. Column:

I am devastated at the passing of a dear friend and someone who helped transform American television news, Robin MacNeil. He and Jim Lehrer were partners in creating the iconic PBS NewsHour on PBS and it was the honor of my life to work with and learn from them.

You can't make this stuff up. Except that Trump does, at this rallies -- nonsensically ranting about dishwashers, washing machines & showers that don't emit water.
When Dear Leader says jump, House Republicans ask 'How high?'
Landmark legislation. Not.

On the House floor next week:

America is no joke, no matter how often Trump claims the world is laughing at us. He's been saying such crap since Reagan, yet when the world has laughed--literally--it was at Trump. But now it no longer finds his possible return a laughing matter. Column:

Four years ago:

'I said this to Netanyahu over the yrs: 'I don't know whether u don't know how to make peace, u don't want to make peace or you're afraid of peace. But u could be doing so much more instead of just throwing red meat to the crowd.' ...He's interested in 1 thing: his own survival.'

This would have been unthinkable before Caitlin Clark arrived at Iowa and changed everything. This isn’t just a sports story. This is an American cultural story. It’s about Title IX and what happens when a nation gives girls and women a chance to play sports too.

Fox News gave the AZ Supreme Court's abortion ban just 12 minutes of coverage yesterday.

Republicans are desperately trying to sweep the problem they created under the rug.

How many innocents will die tonight because Speaker Mike Johnson is afraid of Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸?

This is evil.
