"Choosin' Texas" is actually a psy-op about Democrats and Talarico picking up a Senate seat.

Truly what encapsulates the past decade better than a person in a position of relative influence mistaking a smattering of social media criticism as not only an existential threat but a hallmark of her nefarious, powerful opponents?

Honestly amazing that no one can convince him that this is not going to have the political effect that he thinks. Probably letting him do it just so he doesn’t waste PAC money.

Pretty sure I just saw a tourist in Midtown incorrectly identify a dude as Al Roker — with him, in the accepted NYC fashion, declining to disabuse her of her error.

The White House effort to ban reporters is obviously a First Amendment issue. But it’s also explicitly about Trump thinking that th building and the presidency are *his* and not things the public is temporarily allowing him to use. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

I wrote this to try and bear witness; I hope you'll read it. If you do, I hope you'll later find some quiet to think about this man, pray for him if you'd like, and then find out what you can do to help those impacted by this violence and terror in your community.

This lawsuit was fundamentally cruel, kicking Selzer when she was down simply to bolster an inane claim that pollsters were for inexplicable reasons intentionally getting results wrong. Should not have taken this long.

I think it's very simple, the bosses agreed with Trump about "wokeness" and this was an excuse to purge anything associated with it bsky.app/profile/trac...

I wrote about how Trump is treating presidential power like it's his own possession and using it to punish blue states — but also about how at least he's promised lots of cash for all of us. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

The theme of Trump’s second term is his using the power of the presidency as though it’s his own. That manifests in tantrums booting media outlets from the White House. More harmfully, it also manifests in blocking federal funding to states that didn’t vote for him. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
