Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Lance Cooper: "Trump is a morally bankrupt racist pedophile who continues to fail as a leader. You can’t be a decent person while supporting Donald Trump; it’s no longer political. If you're backing him at this point, it's because the hatred he spreads resonates with something inside of you."

Trump's Denunciations of the Iranian Killings Are Pure Hypocrisy The arbitrary arrests and killings committed by agents of Trump's authoritarian-style rule differ only in number, not in kind, from those in Iran.

We have a President who can’t get over the fact that he lost in 2020… and sees the writing on the wall with his plummeting approval rating.

Is he preparing to massively intervene in the midterms?

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

The world is watching Iran. Dozens killed. Thousands detained. And yet people keep marching β€” for dignity, for economic survival, for a future they can recognize. Their courage deserves more than silence.

NEW EPISODE: Cory Booker and I discuss the real and growing threats to American democracy. He warns that rising costs, collapsing trust in institutions, authoritarian abuses of power, and the politics of cruelty are driving cynicism and disengagement.

This is perhaps the most disgusting creature walking around on his hind legs. I still can’t grasp how stupid the country was to reelect him.
