Not weird, typical. They want to stay on the “good” side of the administration
Weird to play such a damning clip to him and then not just ask him to justify his current U-turn. He was able to just brush it off.

as ABC's This Week, NBC's Meet the Press and CNN's State of the Union all demagogue and smear Mamdani today over a phrase he never said remember that in 631 days of genocide in Gaza none of these shows have ever once platformed a single Palestinian or Palestinian-American.

Just a reminder that Georgians are on their 64th day of protesting Russia's seizure of their government. Last night.

DOJ fires officials who worked on Jack Smith’s Trump investigation. Said he wasn't sure they could carry out the "president's agenda." No lawyer at DOJ, not even the AG, should be doing that. Trump has gone too far. Bondi should get out now., but won't. washingtonpost.com/national-…

We didn't ask Stalin's permission to create NATO. We didn't ask Khrushchev's permission to bring West Germany into NATO. We didn't ask the PRC or North Korea for permission to forge alliances with Japan and South Korea. We should not ask Putin's permission to bring Ukraine into NATO.

I've now seen 6 reports on Michelle Obama's decision to skip Trump's inauguration -- CNN, NBC, AP, CBS, Politico and The Hill -- and not one mentions that Trump skipped Biden's just 4 years ago. Editors?

Dear @RepTenney: Last month disaster aid was included in the CR that helped disaster victims in states including North Carolina, Florida, and Oklahoma. More Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans. We cared and helped because we are all Americans. Please stop your bullshit.
Rep. Claudia Tenney says there should be conditions on federal disaster relief to the "Marxist regime" in California and adds, "California is a disaster. Those same people weren't concerned about the people in North Carolina or the people in Florida who we've tried to help."

I spent all last year writing a REAL tough bipartisan border bill. So I know grandstanding when I see it. 1/ You need to know the truth about the Laken Riley Act, and how, if unamended by the Senate, it will make this country much less safe.

Replying to @kevinolearytv
@kevinolearytv , this is like a bad eps of @ABCSharkTank. I know what you will do. You will tell TT or their bankers, it's better to take the money you were able to raise from Oracle and whoever, than to end up with nothing if you get closed down. You will ask the guy who owns a bunch that is friends with the new admin to push you and stay in to reduce your outlay. He won't You have done the math saying that even if you lose half your users, you can sell enough ads to cover your loans, and overhead. You won't. Ad sales ain't like they used to be. Keeping users ain't what it used to be. Especially when you have a start from scratch algo that one of your investors said they can build or apply for you as your Ai Partner. Add to that every other platform trying to take those users If you are sitting there and BYTEDANCE decides to sell it to you, which I don't see happening, they aint taking even twitter billions for a $300b + asset PLEASE SAY NO. I'll leave you with this When you sit at the negotiating table, you always look for the sucker. If you don't see one .... BTW , I don't think the feds close it. Maybe they delay it and try to use it as a pawn in something bigger Good luck !
Kevin O’Leary on meeting with Trump: I have joined with Frank Mccourt to buy TikTok, it's a multibillion-dollar deal… I wanted to let him know as well as others in his cabinet that we’re doing this.. we’re going to need their help

A ridiculous lie. We have doubled the size of our firefighting army, built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet, and increased the forest management ten-fold since taking office. Time to serve these folks the facts.

Why did Schumer or any Dem think the Rs were going to play it straight with the hearings on Trump nominees? We are so passed this at this point, and cannot count on the hearings to do what we need to do knock out Trump's most unacceptable nominees.
Schumer just addressed this on the floor: “It’s deeply troubling to see our Republican colleagues already beginning to shun regular order… What are Republicans trying to hide by rushing this and other nominees through committee? It’s very reasonable to wait a little, get additional background information so both sides can be ready for the hearing. Why the rush?”

So all of a sudden, the election wasn’t “rigged” and a bunch of illegal immmigrants didn’t vote? So Joe Biden and Kamala Harris presided over a completely accurate election? What happened to all the MAGA fear-mongering about election integrity???

"There are ~510k NCAA athletes. And, according to the president of the NCAA, there are fewer than 10 trans athletes *total*. Even if all of these efforts to 'protect' women’s sports were in good faith, this is still be a solution in search of a problem." publicnotice.co/p/ken-paxton…

Earlier today, President Biden and I received a briefing on the ongoing investigations into the terrorist attack in New Orleans and truck explosion in Las Vegas. We will continue to ensure law enforcement and the impacted communities have every resource they need as these investigations proceed.
Today, I convened @VP and my homeland security team to discuss the investigations into the terrorist attack in New Orleans, and the car explosion in Las Vegas. We're making every resource available to law enforcement to ensure there are no remaining threats to Americans.

Homan is Chair of the Meathead Caucus of the Trump Administration.
pressed on Fox News explain why he thinks the Las Vegas explosion has a "terrorist connection," incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan admits he's working with nothing but "a gut feeling"

President Biden waited for facts before addressing the terrorist attacks—a responsible, measured approach. This morning, Trump jumped to try and blame it on a supposed illegal immigrant who just crossed the border, stirring fear without evidence. As always, Biden acts with accountability. Trump thrives on reckless chaos. God help us.

Trump is intentionally lying about the attacker being an immigrant - he wasn’t. Why does it matter? Because he is going to use episodes of violence to justify his crack down on immigrants and his attack on dissent - whether the facts line up or not. This is just the start.
