Hamas now saying it will begin killing civilian hostages, starting with one, and broadcast the execution in audio and video in front of the world, unless Israel stops killing civilians in Gaza.
Hillary had fucking pneumonia and attended a 9/11 memorial anyway and fainted and Trump and his supporters went bonkers and said she was about to die.
Trump won't stand in the rain for a few minutes to honor the veterans of WWI.
It's astonishing.

about GOP members evading metal detectors she starts off with "first of all, THIS IS A JOB. you work at McDonald's and you don't wear the uniform, you don't work today....Have these people ever had a job?"
I covered mass shootings for 10+ years. The “motive” is almost always the same. The man/boy was enraged about something. And he had a gun.
We have a gun problem. And a broken men problem.
I am truly dismayed by how many in MSM got worked—yet again—by conservative claims that one video exonerated these kids. I've watched them all. None put them in a better light, unless you're really reaching. Some are a lot WORSE than original.
I don’t know who needs to hear this—EVERY RUNNER IN AMERICA—but it is your responsibility to give a way wider detour around any pedestrian than six feet as you speed past them huffing and panting.
Those 5,000 troops sitting on the border waiting for a few hundred bedraggled migrants to show up a month from now could be digging fire lines and helping to evacuate people and livestock from California instead.
Dana Bash reporting that Hicks, Trump, Stephen Miller, Bill Stepien, Chris Christie, among others were basically in a small conference room, unmasked, for days prepping for the debate.
City worker does her job, tells guy he has to clean up his yard. He shoots her, kills her, lights her truck and the house next door on fire, in which 4 dogs die.
We have a gun problem. We also have a toxic male rage problem.
Together they are horrible deadly epidemic.
I don't just want Biden to name his VP. I want him to start talking about who's going to run every department, agency, effort, investigation, initiative.
To review:
Pelosi's staff asked if w/in guidelines to go to salon.
Stylist double checked with owner, who gave ok.
Stylist and Pelosi alone in salon.
Owner leaks tape to Fox. In a 2 -party consent state.

1/ When I heard that Scalise had multiple myeloma—which my dad died of—I wondered if he'd get stem cell treatment despite having voted and campaigned against stem cell therapy. My dad was too old for this option. Lucky for Scalise, hypocrisy is no barrier.
STEVE SCALISE will be out of DC until February. He is getting a stem-cell transplant.
House GOP has 220-seat majority. Bill Johnson is out Jan. 21. After that, w Scalise out, GOP will have a bare bones 218-seat majority.
She was 14.
He was an assistant DA.
He found/groomed her in a custody hearing.
He kissed and groped her against her will.
He rose to power demonizing sex between consenting adults.
The White House today issued a statement from President Trump denying that he ever met E. Jean Carroll in his life. Here's the

A thing that needs to be said is that all this amazing reporting on the profound ethics violations at SCOTUS by
@propublica
and others begs a question:
Why weren't the name-brand, long-time Supreme Court reporters digging into this stuff all along?
If advisers close to Biden aren’t urging a purging of
@SecretService
leadership and a deep dive into all agents on Presidential detail he is being badly advised. This is some Pretorian Guard stuff.
1/ I am enraged. Excellent reporting from WSJ's

you'd think with all those billions they could buy the services of a stylist who would provide guidance on what is or is not appropriate to wear to a goddamn White House state dinner!
1/ Whenever I think about Hunter Biden, I can’t help but remember that as a little kid, he watched his mother and sister die. He and Beaux were critically injured in that crash and in Hosptial for long time, during which his 29-yo dad was sworn into Senate and began commuting…
They lost 7 hrs of Jan 6 President schedule details. They erased text message on 1/5 and 1/6. They smeared Cassidy Hutchinson. Some not small portion appears to be openly pro-Trump. Pence did not trust them enough to get into car.
1/ As someone who spent a year, three decades ago, reporting on breastfeeding and formula support/access/tradeoffs, first for

and then for
@wcp
, please allow me to provide a few basic fucking facts
“A classmate, Max Stier, saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student. Mr. Stier notified senators and the F.B.I. but the F.B.I. did not investigate”
House Speaker Paul Ryan says the House Ethics Committee would not look at wrestlers' claims against Rep. Jim Jordan because the alleged events occurred before he was in office. '
For the first time since Roe v. Wade, America has a Pro-Life President, a Pro-Life Vice President, a Pro-Life House of Representatives and 25 Pro-Life Republican State Capitals!
Survey asked black women to say who's among their top three candidates:
Harris: 71.1%
Beto: 38.3%
Biden: 25%
Booker: 24.2%
Warren: 22.3%
Abrams: 15.2%
Bernie: 12.1%
Bernie's never going to be the nominee unless he turns these numbers around
So "actual verification" would totally disappear. Worse, people could pay for the check mark to impersonate actual celebs, journalists, scientists, etc.

reporting that the outgoing Trump administration is destroying Clear Skies Treaty planes designed to keep an eye on Russia's troop and nukes moves, without consulting Congress, and with no replacement planes in the pipeline.
Just a gift to Putin on the way out the door.
1) Trump uses Navajo Code Talkers as political prop to lash out at opponent
2) Trump deprives Code Talkers of their rightful honor in process
2) Trump tries to destroy their sacred place
3) Navajo sue Trump
all in one week
Reminder that when we first reported that Stephen Miller's grandmother died of COVID, he denied it, despite her kids statements and her death certificate
Reminder that the recall cost the taxpayers of California some $276 million. (Plus the gobs donors spent.)
Seems like that could have been put to better use.
In a pandemic.
And a climate crisis.
And a housing crisis.
In addition to being a prime example of why Facebook is a garbage company, it's a prime example of sexism in political coverage.
Meanwhile, where and by whom are the Trumps or McConnell or etc getting their hair cut?
oh. my. GOD. Javanka wouldn't let their Secret Service detail use any of their SIX bathrooms, so they had to go to neighbors INCLUDING THE OBAMAS to find a toliet. Finally rented a studio, at taxpayer expense.
THEY ARE THE WORST
The men who died in those trenches and fields often went months in muck with maggot-ridden food, gas attacks, picked off by snipers, sleeping in their own filth. Trump can't get his fat ass out of a limo.
