Ida Ruben gave me my first job in Maryland politics. She was a mentor and a dear, dear friend.

Seems kind of strange to brag on Elon Musk's Twitter about how you cancelled your subscription to Jeff Bezos' Washington Post.

The frequency of 🦇💩communication from the owner of this channel has meant that I disregard everything he posts, even things that I might have found interesting.

There is part of me that thinks it is important to stay on this depraved, mendacious web site and show that not everyone believes the lies or approves of the gross memes. But is it, really?

Having watched 3 of the VP’s interviews this week (60 Minutes, Colbert, & Call Me Daddy), I can now say that 60 Minutes was perplexingly the worst. Shallow questions and long stretches where Bill Whitaker narrated over her while she was speaking. Why should she do more of that?

I learned a lot more from the two longer, more casual interviews.

I believe in truth, not lies. I believe in hope, not hate. I believe in science, not fiction.

I am so repulsed by this platform and its race-baiting, conspiracy-mongering owner. But it is a bad habit that I find it hard to break.

The “For You” option that Musk designed for this trash platform is 25% for me and 75% totally not for me.

This is the guy who Trump wants to review all federal spending to recommend cuts. His bias against poor people is disqualifying.

Thank you! Why has no press reported that it is illegal to offer a job in return for political support?
Alright folks, I'm a little over people missing the bigger picture. A prosecutor like @KamalaHarris would not meet with him to discuss a position in her administration because she knows IT IS A CRIME. #RFKJr #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon

Not that Trump or RFK Jr. cares about following the law, but it is illegal to offer a job in return for political support. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/…

THIS is exactly why it doesn’t matter if Harris talks to the media or not. If Trump can get away with this and call it a press conference then the role the modern media plays in US politics is completely irrelevant.

Oh my gosh, who could have predicted this? It hasn’t happened since… last week. You really have to wonder how much more gullible could journalists be.
You can't call what Trump did this afternoon a press conference. He talked for 50 mins straight. Then took 5-ish mostly (very) friendly questions. I think the media has to be VERY wary going forward of how we cover these things. Because that was a campaign rally attended by reporters. I wrote about it all in my FREE nightly newsletter.
