Nicki Minaj isn’t a U.S. citizen, so she can’t even vote herself. For a network that pushed false claims about noncitizens voting, you’d think they’d mention that. If this is about getting Black women to vote red, I’m here to tell you that black women are smarter than all of us.

America knows Donald Trump is going to try something shady either before the election this November, or during election day, or before the new Congress is sworn in. That's how he operates. Don't be surprised. Be prepared.

This admin has spent years going after science. It proposed the largest cut in NASA’s history, about a quarter of the agency and half of its science programs. But last month, a groundbreaking telescope left the launch pad anyway. And the story of how it got there is our good news this Sunday.

This is why I want the judge to rule on First Amendment grounds and not just due process grounds - because trump can "fix" due process by giving journalists advanced (albeit bogus) notice that they're being banned. The truth of the matter is that it's viewpoint discrimination violative of 1A.

The cracks are beginning to show in the Trump alliance and with the midterms still weeks away. This means that with wholesale losses in the House, and a possible capture of the Senate, the Trump presidency will be all but over. 😑

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

Skip the civil war fantasy. The midterms are still winnable; he is still losing in court, and the actual work is boring and unglamorous, and nobody gets to feel heroic doing it. Predicting doom in advance is the cheapest possible way to sit this one out.
