I get that his audience believes his story about never knowing E Jean Carroll. Regardless, the laughing and cheering by this audience on the subject of sexual assault is really painful to watch.

We all pay $8 a month for things that may be less useful to us that Twitter. It’s just that he has been such a bloviating bully that paying this is a bridge too far. Name another CEO who engenders such hostility that we refuse to pay for their product.
Grateful to

To do: Senate: call a hearing asap. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch lied to Congress. MAKE them come explain it. Use your power. Biden: Immediately announce federal protections for travel and morning after pills. Pelosi: put separate abortion bills on the floor. Make the GOP vote.

"He believes that it's a woman’s right. It's a woman's body and it's her choice,” White House press sec. Jen Psaki says when asked why Pres. Biden—who is Catholic—would support abortion access.
The country owes
@SpeakerPelosi
such a debt of gratitude for her years of service, her leadership, her bad-ass-ness. The pressures she has been under, time and again, have never undermined her grace and her spirit. 🙏🏽🇺🇸❤️
Pelosi talked to CNN about what it was like to learn that her husband had been brutally assaulted. The full interview will air later tonight but here's a clip.
I have complete empathy for the family of Haylna Hutchins, but charging Alec Baldwin feels very unjust. When you are told “cold gun” on set, you believe it. A tragic tragic accident.
My heart goes out to Clarence, Nicole, Alex and their families. Jackie was a beautiful person. Always kind and generous to young women in the music biz. Rest in power. 💔🖤
Breaking: Jacqueline Avant, the wife of legendary music producer Clarence Avant, was shot and killed during a home invasion Beverly Hills early Wednesday morning, a source familiar with the case told The Times.
Woo hoo!! Never have I been so happy that my Senate pessimism was wrong. Split Congress won’t help us get a lot done but confirming judges and stopping bad stuff etc will be huge.

When advocates for the Palestinian people refuse to denounce Hamas and call for an end to their threats, they lose all credibility. Is not hard to simultaneously denounce terrorism and support efforts, as many of us do, to protect innocent civilians.

It’s not race or religion or gender identity or orientation or age that mass shootings in America have in common. It’s assault weapons/automatic weapons/high capacity magazines.

This is a dumb headline and a stupider question. Ask little black and brown kids when they learned about race. I assure you it was in some supermarket or restaurant or playground. It wasn’t in a classroom. White kids don’t need similar “protection”

This woman is the 3rd ranking member of House Republican leadership and uses language about the most horrible crime against children in a reckless political attack. The House GOP is broken. And if they win the majority, this is what we get.
The White House, House Dems, & usual pedo grifters are so out of touch with the American people that rather than present ANY PLAN or urgency to address the nationwide baby formula crisis, they double down on sending pallets of formula to the southern border. Joe Biden has NO PLAN

I worry about the “future of democracy” as much as the next gal. I just don’t think we protect it by demonizing voters prioritizing their family’s livelihoods. Voters of both parties need faith in the system.
Two things: 1) Trump is effective. He lies, but he is uniquely capable of framing issues in a way that interests people. 2)

I’m not in the “left-wing” of U.S. Democrats, as this story implies, and I still believe Israel’s treatment of its Palestinian citizens is abhorrent. We can be better. Israel can be better.

Final point on last night: Dems gloating today that this was great for Biden’s re-election should be careful. Not just because it ignores Trump’s political talent, but because his words and support are sad for the country. It’s human impact not always politics.
Thousands of people on line in London waiting to vote at the Russian Embassy. They‘’ll all likely vote against Putin and it won’t matter in a fixed election, but good for them for making their point.

This 👇🏼 That there is no accountability for grabbing a rifle and going to a protest. And people died. I just can’t. A system that can’t create consequences for his actions is not just.
Even if you feel the jury got it right for legal reasons, what kind of person are you to celebrate *someone* who went armed to a protest with an illegal gun and killed two people.
This debate between

is a painful reflection of how politicians mostly talk past each other while they throw hooks to their supporters. But I bet Demings was a bad ass police chief because she is freakin tuff. The Senate needs her.
This is very clear thinking. Please watch

We had a “ceasefire” on Oct 6. Hamas broke it. Egypt & Jordan could have made Palestinians their citizens or take refugees for years and never would. Still won’t. The Arab world is complicit in their current suffering.

Watching the machinations in DC this week from my fabulous perch in LA is like watching the neighbors try to figure out who the Coneheads are. (yes, SNL reference ages me)
Before people go too crazy assuming the Kansas vote means a national sweep against abortion restrictions, remember the State does have a pro-choice, left of center Democrat as Governor. But I admire your enthusiasm.

Your goal would have been to prove him a liar (he is) and teach the audience a lesson. But the goal of this event was to let him talk to GOP voters and Kaitlin was the vehicle. It was a “town hall” . If she did what you are saying, it would have been about her.
