The President of the United States learned that Robert Mueller had died. And he picked up his phone and typed: “Good. I’m glad he’s dead.” I need you to stop. Put down whatever you’re doing and feel the full weight of those words. Good. I’m glad he’s dead. Said by the man who holds the most powerful office in the history of human civilization. The office of Washington. Of Lincoln. Of Roosevelt standing in the rubble of Pearl Harbor promising a nation trembling in the dark that we would rise. That office. Those words. Now let me tell you who Robert Mueller was. He did not have to go to Vietnam. He had every reason not to. A Princeton degree. A blown-out knee. A future waiting for him in the comfort of civilian life. He waited a full year for that knee to heal, just so he could serve. Let that sink in. He walked into hell when other men were running from it. He came home with a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart soaked in the blood of his sacrifice. He spent the next four decades standing in the breach, as a prosecutor, as FBI Director, as the man who held this nation together in the smoldering ash of September 12th, 2001, when we were all afraid and we needed someone steady, someone serious, someone who loved this country more than he loved himself. He was all of those things. He was a Republican. He was, by every honest measure, an American hero. And the President danced on his grave.

@AlbertBreer So what’s next? Are these National team guys publicized and promoted as our team for 2028 Olympics…or do you take a group of specially selected NFL guys and teach/train them to be the team in ‘28. I think it will be the latter.

Anyone who goes out and watches their kids play flag football on a Saturday morning, and then signs those same kids up to play tackle football should have a pretty good understanding that the two are not remotely the same sport. Looks like that's showing today.

DACA recipients are following the rules, they're working, and they're paying taxes. They shouldn't be at risk of losing their jobs because the Trump Admin. is creating months-long delays to renew their DACA status.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

0.00196% of NCAA athletes are transgender. 0.0000001% of votes come from undocumented immigrants. This is what MAGA obsesses over.

ICE is arresting people who have literally done nothing wrong, except the U.S. government itself failed to process their renewals in time, leading to them briefly losing status. The government is punishing people for the government's mistake. That's wrong.

He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

@jasonrmcintyre He was great in Fruitvale Station as well.

Michael B Jordan, what a journey The Wire Friday Night Lights Been a fan from the jump Great speech!

Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. For the political media, it's not about truth, competence or how well you run the country; for them it's about 'access'. Who gives them juicy scoops. Who calls them up.

It is strange seeing reporters gush about how much access Trump grants them. You have access to lies. That is it. Being so eager to get that access, so that you have something to post for views and clicks, makes you a tool for spreading disinformation. That is why Trump gives you so much "access."

Somehow Republicans won the presidency, House, and Senate without the SAVE Act. Yet somehow they will never win again without it? All this while advocates cannot produce any credible evidence of mass voter fraud that is supposedly making it impossible for Republicans to win.

Absolutely none of this would be happening if Trump had simply gone to jail after January 6, like he should have.

The election of Trump, especially the second term, is a sad commentary on the collective intelligence and wisdom of America's voting populace.

Name calling from a draft dodger doesn't bother me. What bothers me is a clueless commander in chief who took our country to war without a strategy because no one around him has the guts to tell him when he's wrong.

Elections have consequences -- for 50 years our leadership understood the risk of attacking Iran. Then you morons elected Trump; they fired all the serious guys, put in place General Deez Nutz and here we are.

MAGA treated the 13 service members killed during Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal like the worst tragedy in American history. Now troops are dying in Trump’s war with Iran, and the outrage has magically disappeared.

How do you do politics or journalism when confronted by someone so deluded, so dishonest, who simply invents realities and says up is down, hot is cold? There has never been a public figure like Trump before. He just lied about what’s in front of our own eyes. Shamelessly.

One of the most damnable things about political action is you rarely know what positive effect you've had on the world. But as bad as things are now in the US, we can bet they'd be much worse without the incredible resistance to ICE by Minnesotans. Everyone else is in their debt.

Three things they want to distract us from: 1. A massive global pedophile, child sex-trafficking ring 2. The rabid slaughtering of an entire population trapped by their oppressors 3. The greatest transfer of public money to the wealthy we have ever seen Stay focused
