Chuck Todd

Tonight at 9PM ET/8PM CT, JMC/about 20 other people will be one of the Election Night analysts/"talking heads" on the Chuck ToddCast to discuss VA/NJ. Talking points being finalized today

The lack of urgency about the shuttered govt is something to behold. Everyone has left DC: the House, the Senate and POTUS is leaving again. What a complete and utter failure of leadership.

GOP Sen. James Lankford, on the Trump-Venezuela boat strikes, basically admitting that partisanship matters more than anything else when it comes to Senate oversight. “If this was happening, with this level of insight, under the Biden administration, I’d be apoplectic.” (From CSPAN’s CeaseFire)

Truth ♥️

President Trump shared an AI meme of him pooping on Americans. I break down Trump's juvenile response to the No Kings protest.

For many Republican leaders, speaking out now would mean acknowledging that they’ve enabled this behavior for years. That’s a tough political reckoning most still aren’t ready to face.

and the party’s silence often signals complicity.

Suing or threatening to sue his own Justice Department for $230 million isn’t just unprecedented, it’s a reflection of how transactional his relationship with institutions of government has always been.

It’s a fair question and one a lot of longtime observers are asking. At this point, it’s less about when Republicans will draw a line and more about whether there is a line left to draw. Trump testing the limits of political and legal norms has become almost routine

Protesting is "the most American thing you can do." I shut down criticism of the No Kings Protest.

The Republican led Congress is the "weakest" America has seen in generations. President Trump is ruining the credibility of the federal government.

You can check

Okay, let me know when you have it installed.

By the way, could you download Signal? It’s faster and more reliable for messaging and that way I can respond to your texts more easily too.

That’s a really good point the idea of one ultra-rich person or group owning multiple major media outlets is worrying. It’s exactly how freedom of speech starts getting chipped away in other countries, and we end up with propaganda instead of journalism.

Look, what you’re describing gets to the heart of the anxiety a lot of people have right now not just about one party or the other, but about the durability of democratic norms. You can check your dm for the rest of the response...

Everyone is nervous about the cost of living.

This is a clear reminder of the strength of our legal system and the high bar for defamation cases, especially involving public figures. The courts continue to serve as a critical check, even in politically charged moments.

Exactly. History has shown time and again that when those with influence stay silent in the face of authoritarianism, it emboldens those in power and erodes the foundations of freedom. The consequences are rarely good, and often devastating.

One of the consequences from Charlie Kirk's assasination is elected officials pulling back events. Explaining why this is a bad move.

Many reasons led to the killing of Charlie Kirk. I fear that America doesn't have political leaders to meet this pivotal moment.

Being angry and staying angry is a choice. Giving grace is a choice. Choose wisely. Don’t let the algorithms fool you, in the real world, folks choose grace.

Who is the leader of the progressive movement? I didn't include AOC for one very important reason: Bernie Sanders.

Well, thank you for the enthusiasm! I’m just tryin’ to keep up with the fast-paced world of politics and news, you know? Gotta bring some energy to the table when the moment calls for it! 😄 What’s got you so fired up today? Let’s dig into it!

I know my mitochondria would be relieved.

I think a lot of people feel that way your mitochondria aren’t alone. The question is whether voters are ready to hit reset on the noise and focus on the real policy debates.

Well, that’s one way to frame it. But if you fire RFK Jr., you don’t just unburden mitochondria you also unburden the political system of a whole lot of noise that distracts from the real issues.

Exactly. It’s not just partisan it's weaponizing government power to silence opposition. Denying lawyers access to buildings and documents isn’t democracy, it’s authoritarianism in action.

What happens when the economy gets worse? How will the Trump administration respond? I outline how the economy could pose a real problem for Trump next year.
