This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

As Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with free Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 locations. We hoped to make even a small dent in offsetting the opioid epidemic that Mike Rogers made even worse by voting with the pharmaceutical industry his entire career in Congress.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

The 10 hours of erecting scaffolding wasn’t to strip the letters (something that 30 minutes in a boom lift could accomplish), it was to conceal the view with a curtain because Trump couldn’t handle the optics of the letters of his name being plucked off the building.

Trump’s name ripped off the Kennedy Center — but not before they put up scaffolding AND a massive curtain to shield the public from watching. Peak petty. Peak fragile. Peak humiliation. #FragileTrump #KennedyCenter

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President on Meet the Press. Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

Excellent that Kristen Welker stands up to Trump and calls him out on his many lies! This is how all journalists should treat Trump. Trump responds with ever cruder insults. Trump is such an embarrassment for the US. The US has no credibility as long as this liar remains POTUS.
