“My life flashed before my eyes,” said Ald. Juan Martinez.

Long time listener, first time caller, just out of curiosity, what happens when Senators continue to confirm a lawless President’s appointments? I’ll hang up and listen.

the things he said before and the things he’s saying now are just noise.

Aside from Graham acknowledging that there's a large "Hitler rocks!" wing of the Republican Party, let's just say that Graham's "you can be weird, just do it in the basement" is not exactly a ringing defense of free speech.

Attention WA/Seattle area!

Oscar is a 5 year old male (fixed) cat looking for a home! His owner recently passed away and my brother is looking for a new home for him. He's up to date on all his shots.

If you know anyone who is looking for a companion, let me know! Boosts are appreciated.

One night recently, I got a Signal message

Would I be interested in seeing an internal Trump admin memo?

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.
