@Pete7374Will @HazelLiaqa4848 Well…

@HazelLiaqa4848 She’s the future along with Hakeem ‼️

Hakeem Jeffries says Americans are deciding to Leave MAGA and start voting Democrat. What is your response to him ??

@DemocraticWins Houston Chronicle is a liberal paper. No shocker. 🙄

BREAKING: In a stunning coup against Ken Paxton, the Houston Chronicle, one of the largest papers in Texas, just endorsed James Talarico. Let's go!

@RoKhanna @TomSteyer You’ve been in Congress 5 terms (10 years). When will you be stepping aside?

The old guard must step aside. We do not need recycled candidates of the status quo. It's time for a new generation. @TomSteyer

@WadingPatiently @Acyn List please.

@Acyn I don't live in her district anymore, but she was *by far* the best representative I've ever had in terms of taking care of and protecting constituents

Lyman: What has AOC done for your district? “She helped bring 30,000 books to school kids within the district.”

@quantum_trader @GavinNewsom

@GavinNewsom You need to run for President Gavin to fix all the damage this terrible and incompetent human being has done to the US!

Trump’s slush fund for fascists was blocked and a rogue ICE agent was just arrested for shooting an immigrant. Happy Friday!

@GavinNewsom You’re disgusting.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision. That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there. Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level. Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline. The case proceeded anyway. The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence. Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict. An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status. Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

@GavinNewsom Hyperbole- “MAGA hates working people.”

MAGA hates working people. It’s a disgrace that nearly 20 GOP states still have a $7.25 minimum wage. In California, it’s $25 an hour for an entire sector of workers! As it should be.

@GlobeScotLehigh @JonathanTurley When the core statement is completely ignored and the conversation immediately goes to “whatabout,” it does not come across as a good faith discussion. It comes across as a refusal to acknowledge issues with the party with which one aligns. Just my opinion.

It is a closely related point. JT is on a cable station that treats Trump with kid gloves, never asking tough follow-up questions, criticizing other broadcasters for not asking tough follow-up questions. It is not an Evel Knieval leap across the canyon to see the relevance of my comment.

What is notable about Jill Biden's interview with CBS's Rita Braver is the lack of confrontation over the statement: “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.” This would seem a basis for a good follow-up: youtube.com/shorts/2afCk-K…

@GlobeScotLehigh @JonathanTurley Now you are making a different point from your original one. You deflected to Trump, Fox, Iran. “Fox does it, too” may be true but that has nothing to do with CBS not asking any follow up questions re: Jill’s statement- which clearly was Turley’s point.

@rata82022 @JonathanTurley I was making a fairly simple point, really. His critique is fine, but I never hear it made of Fox News. That's indisputably true, just as it's true that Fox pitches incredible softballs to President Trump. I realize it has upset Fox fans to hear that truth, however . . .

As Democrats demand the removal of the masks of ICE agents, a protester was shown yesterday yelling at an agent, "I've got your face. I'll kill your whole f**king family. You whole f**king family is dead. Your child, your wife, and all are dead. I have your face mother f**ker. You re dead."

@GlobeScotLehigh @JonathanTurley You didn’t engage with the specific point in Turley’s post. You pivoted to the classic “what about the other side.” I am sure a columnist/novelist should recognize whataboutism.

@rata82022 @JonathanTurley It is a closely related observation. As is this one: Isn't Trump, with his day-time nodding off and frequent confusion of countries and dates, showing the same signs that Biden did?

Graham Platner signed up to fight in Iraq because he wanted to adventure of killing Arabs. He said he dreamed about it since he was 8 years old. This has nothing to do with Susan Collins.

When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.

@KarenBassLA 🤔 … as in never afraid to strike a pose with the enemies of the USA … wait, you did too! … uh, congrats⁉️

@GlobeScotLehigh @JonathanTurley Dude!

@rata82022 @JonathanTurley Dude!

@GlobeScotLehigh @JonathanTurley Squirrel!

@JonathanTurley Maybe Jonathan could apply his finely honed journalistic sensibilities to the Fox News types who take everything Donald Trump says at face value. A possible question: If Iran is really begging us for a deal, why is it so hard to get one done?

@SidFalcoReturns @ABC Please. It’s a current discussion since she’s out there on book tour telling her story.

@ABC That's years ago. Here is now. You're supposed to be news. As in, NEW.

Former first lady Jill Biden said she was "frightened" when watching her husband, former President Joe Biden, in his first and only debate performance during the 2024 presidential election and thought he was having a stroke on stage. abcnews.link/R7Y4ZxZ
