Asked if winning a Nobel Peace Prize or becoming President was the most exciting thing that happened to him Jimmy Carter responds, “when Rosalynn said she’d marry me — I think that was the most exciting thing.”
Nancy Pelosi is 82. She just led House Democrats to an unexpectedly good midterms outcome. Media’s first question is when she’ll retire.
Mitch McConnell is 80. He just led Senate Republicans to a humiliating defeat. Not one question about when he’ll step aside.

Elon Musk wants attention so let’s give it to him. Black employees at Tesla claim they were segregated. Frequently called the n-word. Called “monkeys” by managers. The only ones made to clean and forced to do so on their hands & knees. And Tesla retaliated when they complained.
After mall shooting, Texas Gov. Abbott says the nation's "mental health crisis" must be addressed.
In a statement, Pres. Biden again calls for a ban on assault-style weapons and other legislative changes.
REMINDER: Mitch McConnell voted to confirm Judge Jackson to the federal bench. Now he says he won’t vote to confirm her to the Supreme Court. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Call him out.
NEW: The Biden administration has told hospitals they *must* provide abortions where the life of the mother is at risk, saying federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws that ban this life-saving care.
Wow. This is pretty horrible. Hasan Minhaj has just produced the recording of the interview and the documents he provided to the reporter, showing that The New Yorker totally smeared him.
They absolutely should not stand by the story.
The Supreme Court does not have authority to decide hypothetical cases. They just did so anyways. It’s an illegitimate power grab that cannot go unaddressed.
Riddle me this…wholesale gasoline prices are down nearly 30 cents today already — yet not one word from media when it’s ALL they have talked about for weeks and weeks…
NEW: A judge has ruled that Scotland can pursue a money-laundering investigation into Trump's golf courses, after lawyers cited the Trump Organization criminal cases in New York.
5 YEARS of Hunter Biden coverage and all of a sudden media has lost interest now that we learn it was a Russian op that Republicans were happy to engage in. Absolutely insane.
Kyle Rittenhouse claims he went to provide “medical support” that he was not qualified to give, while holding a gun that he was not legally allowed to carry, in a state where he did not live. It doesn’t add up.
NEW: the Arizona Democratic Party has passed a resolution pledging a 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 in
@KyrstenSinema
if she refuses to vote to reform the filibuster.
Mark Meadows used his private Gmail account to pressure Georgia officials to undo Trump’s loss.
All of a sudden, The New York Times doesn’t care about email stories anymore.
The New York Times may not want to hear empathy from Joe Biden, but this is what Alena Knauss — the widow of Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss who died from the Kabul attack — had to say of her meeting with President Biden:
Media ran a ton of racist propaganda stories about Critical Race Theory and got Glenn Youngkin elected by doing so. Of course they won’t follow-up in equal measure to inform people Youngkin's “CRT tip-line”was recently deactivated due to lack of tips. Because it was a fake issue.
🚨BREAKING:
@emilyslist
says they’re dropping Kyrsten Sinema and won’t endorse her again unless she stops being a legislative roadblock, saying she “undermines the foundations of our democracy.”
Elon Musk has a history of not following through. It’s past time media stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. Let’s review his past pledges and what happened.

@ElonMusk
didn’t speak out once to stand up for Colin Kaepernick’s free speech, but he’ll spend $44 billion in an effort to give white supremacists the right to harass. Tells you all you need to know.
Feels like not enough people are connecting the dots. To be clear, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine’s president for dirt on Joe Biden, holding back critical aid to avoid this exact scenario as leverage. Still, Republicans voted against impeaching. Now here we are.
Biden has the best first year economic indicators of any president over the last 4 decades…but the worst first year economic poll ratings of any president over that same period.
Only explanation?
A mainstream media dedicated to pushing false narratives abt this administration.
They don’t mind a woman President — just not Hillary Clinton.
They don’t mind a Black woman Vice President — just not Kamala Harris.
They don’t mind a Black woman Supreme Court Justice — just not Ketanji Brown Jackson.
See how that works…
Call me crazy, but…imagine if the reporters assigned to the Major Biden beat were instead tasked with finding out who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s debts…
These 2 minutes made the night for Biden. That’s all he needed to do. He created a little live Reality TV moment that showed his agility and that he is fighting for the American people.

WATCH:
@RepRaskin
schools Matt Gaetz, “You know what, that might work on Steve Bannon’s podcast but that’s not gonna work in the Rules Committee of the United States House of Representatives.”
The Manchin family is known for corruption. When he was Governor of West Virginia, West Virginia University altered his daughter Heather Bresch’s transcripts to retroactively award her an MBA she did not earn. Bresch is famous for the EpiPen price gouging scandal.
Kellyanne Conway’s book was a total flop, selling just 25,000 copies in its debut week.
For comparison Mary Trump’s book sold 1,350,000 copies in the first week.
The Supreme Court absolutely should disclose whether Clarence Thomas is still in the hospital. Of course the public has a right to know…he is missing Supreme Court arguments.
BREAKING: Dallas Mayor
@Johnson4Dallas
betrays voters, switching parties from Democrat to Republican after getting elected. The latest in a trend of bait-&-switches from politicians who lie to voters, get elected, then abandon everything they campaign on.
What a disgrace he is.
🚨BREAKING: Dr. Bernard, who provided care to a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim, is currently listed as a “threat” by an anti-abortion group with ties to Amy Coney Barrett…AND SHE HAS RECEIVED THREATS OF KIDNAPPING AGAINST HER DAUGHTER.
Forced-birthers are anything but “pro-life.”
As
@mikepompeo
runs his mouth bashing President Biden’s widely-praised handling of the Ukraine crisis, do not let people forget POMPEO WAS ON THE CALL when Trump tried to extort Ukrainian President Zelensky. And he didn’t admit it for months.
Shouldn’t be lost that Clarence Thomas secretly accepted $150,000 in tuition payments from rightwing billionaire Harlan Crow…but he just voted to strike down loan forgiveness for students who don’t have a Supreme Court position to sell for favors.
🚨BREAKING:
@JaneMayerNYer
reports that, behind closed doors, Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife is working with many groups directly involved in controversial cases before the Court.
Justice Thomas must recuse himself.
Overturning Roe v. Wade is incredibly unpopular.
Mandating COVID vaccines is incredibly popular.
From the way media covers these issues, you’d think the exact opposite.
NEW: DeSantis gave ~$6,000 each to corrupt cops to recruit them to Florida. One such cop drove into BLM protestors, another was charged with kidnapping, another shot and killed her husband.
At least 24 names of those recruited matched NYPD officers with a history of misconduct.
NEW: Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch will speak at a Florida Federalist Society event featuring Mike Pence, Ron DeSantis & Kayleigh McEnany. Total corruption.
Meanwhile Republicans claim Biden pledging to nominate a Black woman is “politicizing” the Court. Absolutely absurd.
After decades of lying that they think abortion should be “left to the states to decide” 🙄, Senate Republicans are introducing a nationwide abortion ban.
After student backlash to the many credible sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, in 2018 Harvard Law School announced that he would not return to teach. Kavanaugh should recuse himself from the Harvard admissions case.
🚨NEW: the SEC has concluded that Republican Senator Richard Burr had material nonpublic info about COVID. Burr dumped stock, then called his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law called his stock broker **one minute** later.
Burr must RESIGN.
Media considers Bernie a spry 80-year-old and keeps pushing him to run, they consider Trump (who binges Diet Coke & burgers all day) a vivacious 76…yet they take issue with Biden who is the fittest of them all and suggest he shouldn’t run based on his age. It’s a B.S. narrative.
REMINDER: Barrett was widely considered the least experienced Justice in *30 years* but you did not see the media or Republicans express any concern. She couldn’t even describe the 1st Amendment at her confirmation hearing. The people Biden is considering are much more qualified.
Mike Pence’s chief counsel, domestic policy adviser, chief of staff, and press secretary all left by the end of his first year.
Media didn’t question his “leadership style.”
They are treating VP Harris differently because D.C. press is mostly white men and she is a black woman.
Emails planning Chelsea Clinton's wedding? 6 years of coverage.
Ginni Thomas plotting insurrection with Trump's Chief of Staff? A weekend of coverage.
Missing January 6th White House call logs? Half a day of coverage.
It’s absurd.
People forget that Justice Alito was in a group of Princeton Alumni that ran a magazine edited by Dinesh D’Souza and Laura Ingraham. He is — and always has been — an unscrupulous extremist.
🚨BREAKING: on the orders of their dictator Ron DeSantis, Florida lawmakers have revoked Disney World’s special tax status in retaliation for Disney’s criticizing the state’s bigoted “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
The move will raise taxes by thousands of dollars for families in Orlando.
NEW: Georgia State Rep. Mesha Mainor, elected as a Democrat, has just officially switched to become a Republican. She is a national disgrace. She has betrayed her community.
Luckily, her Atlanta-based district is left-leaning. Let’s make sure she gets voted out.
The current FBI Director was 1) appointed by Trump, 2) served with Kavanaugh in the Bush administration, and 3) was a member of the Federalist Society.
It’s absolutely laughable for Republicans to try paint him as some deep-state liberal and shows just how desperate they are.
For media to suddenly identify that Trump weaponized the email non-story against Hillary Clinton as if they weren’t the weapon he used to do it is major gaslighting.
Whistleblower documents show that Chief Justice John Roberts’s wife Jane Roberts made over $10 million as a legal recruiter. A staggering amount.
The problem? The couple never disclosed that firms paying Jane had matters before John. Corruption.
NEW: leaked memos from the Kremlin instruct Russian Media that it is “essential” to feature Tucker Carlson. He is part of their propaganda effort. Repugnant.
🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon says he will refuse to comply with Jan. 6th committee’s subpoena — at Trump’s instruction. It’s obstruction of justice. Clear as day.
NEW: The Arizona Democratic Party's executive committee has just formally censured Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, citing her inaction on changing the filibuster rules to pass voting rights reform and protect democracy. Excellent.
Very sorry for what they experienced at the Capitol, but journalists on the scene begging Mark Meadows to stop the Capitol insurrection seems like a story the American people had a right know 11 months ago.
