I'm sorry, this is just total BS. Obama was not trying to destroy the rule of law in the US and the international order that kept us safe from World War II until 2025. He was not shoveling money into his own pockets. He was not murdering our neighbors. This bothsidesing shows utter moral bankruptcy.

I hope my observation catches on: We will see more of this, much more, after the midterms when two things happen: the crisis will get worse. Trump will get weaker, first gradually, then quickly. As a result of both, reporters will see both weakness & opportunity to look like they're getting tough.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

📌BREAKING: The GOP is canceling ad buys in the North Carolina Senate race, because they no longer see a path for their candidate in the state. It's not because elections are rigged, it's because they know they and their historically unpopular president are about to get their asses kicked in Nov.

Isn’t it quaint how the leader of the free world is so outrageously, obviously, and frighteningly impaired, and every single GOP member of Congress who could actually DO something instead chooses to look the other way. Not sure who the bigger traitor to our country is at this point.
