Jake Tapper calls out Sen. Eric Schmitt as Schmitt defends Pete Hegseth despite his numerous infidelities (including multiple children conceived during affairs) and allegations of sexual assault and alcohol abuse

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Pete Hegseth's Mommy wants us to know that while all of her allegations against him were true when he was 37 years old, now as a big 44 year old boy he is a completely different person and none of those things are concerns anymore.

WATCH Rep. Jim McGovern bring the 🔥🔥🔥 against Trump's billionaire cronies and other abysmal cabinet picks "who hop on helicopters to avoid traffic. Poster children for the out-of-touch elites." BRILLIANT! 👏👏👏

I read through Pete Hegseth's books. He: –Wants a "Long War with Violent Islamism" & bigger Guantanamo –Fearmongers about Muslims winning elections –Complains of "legal issues" on torture –Calls women "distractions" –Says the US "is the world’s sheriff" "Anti-war" Trump's pick to lead the military:

I am struck by how it seems like globally, the autocrats and would-be autocrats are well aware that their interests are aligned against democracy. It seems to me that we greatly need of a matching 'liberal' (in the international sense) international movement dedicated to preserving democracies.

UPHOLDING NORMS is like engaging in CONSENTUAL SEX. BOTH SIDES need to do it! THERE IS CONSENTUAL SEX WITH ONLY ONE PERSON CONSENTING, and THERE IS NO UPHOLDING NORMS IF ONLY ONE SIDE DOES IT. The ONLY time a MAGAt ever considers morality is when he's analyzing a Democrat's behavior.

I find it a lot easier to follow real-time reporting of breaking news on Bluesky than on Twitter. My feed is much cleaner on Bluesky — in contrast, my Twitter feed is chock full of hateful trolling and annoying ads.

The real-time reporting of South Korea today was far easier to follow along on Bluesky than X. It’s these moments that define these platforms. Bluesky really does have the juice.

WTF? Can you imagine how the right would react if Biden invited Trudeau to the White House and threatened to make his country the 51st state if Trudeau didn't give in to his political demands? They would lose their minds! We live in a Bizarro world.

If a deal is dodgy when a D president’s kid does it, it’s dodgy when an R president’s kid does it, too. This includes many of Hunter Biden’s sketchy transactions that the GOP has amplified & investigated—and also Don Jr/Eric's crypto project, the Saudis "investing" $2B with Jared Kushner, etc.

wapo.stOpinion | Mad about Hunter Biden’s shady deals? You should care about these, too.Lawmakers should do something about family members of presidents cashing in on their proximity to power.

I think President Biden should pardon a shit ton more people -- a bunch of marijuana convictions, but mostly preemptive pardons to take trump's retribution targets off the backs of his press and political "enemies list." No fucks left, Joe. Just do it.

Donald Trump has nominate Steve Feinberg as deputy defense secretary, the number 2 position at the Pentagon. Feinberg is an investor in hedge funds and private equity. He's worth about $5 billion and has no military experience, except investing in a private military contractor.

PAY ATTENTION: When Republican Congressmen like Richard McCormick feel emboldened to openly suggest cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, it's time to stand up and be counted. 🚨HANDS OFF our Social Security!
