Trump sounds real angry on tv right now...not theatrical angry. I love it.

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

I see CNN is expanding their stable of mediocre white men. Did Scott Jennings have the night off?

The worst politicians in America are about to quote Martin Luther King Jr.

You can’t quote β€œI have a dream” on MLK Day then legislate against that dream every other day of the year.

Love him or hate him, but Don Lemon has been doing insightful work for the past few hours, showing a protest in a church where one of the pastors works for ICE and now interviewing Minnesotans (and currently Keith Ellison) near the Renee Good makeshift memorial.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! πŸ™ƒ

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

There's a huge difference between "understand" and "care".

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

I just watched the season opener of The Pitt and after following current events this week it was nice to see an open chest operation with a lot of blood.

Not a native English speaker here and when I first met my then American gf (now wife) we went to Watkins Glen in New York and she told me it was a gorge. I thought she meant it was gorgeous.

Listen, this week has already been dreadful enough, with the ICE murder in Minneapolis and everything going on. We don't need headlines like these on top of it. Not only do I not know these people, I don't want to hear about their drama.
