Hello from Brownsville, TX, where I'm doing some reporting and where it turns out my hotel "a few miles from the airport" is actually in Mexico. 😂 (I rebooked.) Here's the Rio Grande, that's Mexico just across the river. Trump's wall was where this dirt is, but it's being replaced, per locals.

On this reprehensible Ramaswamy ad: Everyone in my former political party has learned from Trump. When you fuck up - never apologize, never accept responsibility, refuse to be held accountable, double down, triple down, attack, blame the media, play the victim, lie, lie, lie.

Trump has been given more grace for his outrageous behavior than Joe Biden ever received for even the most minor faux pas. Biden could stumble over a word and it would dominate the news cycle. Trump can insult reporters, curse, mock people, and go into unhinged rants and it’s glossed over.

If polls end up underestimating Democrats, young voters will be why. I’ve been doing this job for almost 9 years. I’ve never seen young voters be more enthusiastic to turn out against Republicans.

Jesse Watters has worked at Fox News for 24 years and is just now discovering 'fear porn' helps motivate people to vote. Fox News is fear porn 24/7. The network is an emotional roller coaster of paranoia and fear that promotes racism, bigotry and xenophobia.

Amy Acton’s stepfather was arrested and indicted for the rape of a 12-year-old girl. Her mother lost custody of both children. Now she’s a MAGA mouthpiece. We should have listened to Penelope Hegseth’s warning. She wasn’t an insane pedophile enabler, right?

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton and Susan Collins are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?

JD certainly has plenty of firsthand experience with wacky-ass mothers, ain't that right Mr. Vice President? Like the one you claim was getting her drugs from Mexicans when all along she was stealing them from her patients at work. Just shut the fuck up! apnews.com/article/elec...

These guys really want to have this conversation? OK. What’s the legitimate reason she‘s the president’s constant companion, by his side 24/7? Does the president need round the clock medical assistance?

The usual excuse behind the rush to build these data centers is "we can't let China get ahead of us". But we seem to have no problem letting China lap us when it comes to renewable energy. Odd, ain't it?

The five biggest defense contractors spent more than $100B on buybacks and dividends since 2020. I have a simple question for defense contractors: If taxpayers are giving you billions to build military equipment, why are you buying back your own stock? This needs to stop.
