It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama

- I love my Party, but tonight was a new low. I get silence on this or that policy, and the raw politics of the base’s anger. But, for not a single D to stand to applaud a boy’s brave battle with cancer, or a man’s admission to West Point, was a classless disgrace. And
- Just when I think my Party can’t get any lower, someone like Al Green lets me know they can.
- Going into @PeteHegseth hearing, I thought it was 50/50 he would ultimately be confirmed, due to a handful of R's still having serious concerns. Some D's were so bad, so over-the-top, so embarrassing today, I now wonder if they made it impossible for any Sen. R to be against him.
- Replying to @danturrentinePs. Stunning that 10 hours and counting after the announcement, with so many in our Party having spoken, @chuckschumer @SenSchumer has still not put out a statement.
- With regards to Kimmel, I'm reminded of the famous story of Jay Leno vs David Letterman to replace Johnny Carson. Everyone thought it would be Letterman. Leno traveled the country to meet with affiliates to remind them that his humor was politically equal opportunity, while
- I'm stunned. I'm no historian, but, I don't recall a more dark Presidential farewell address? It's more a cry to the DNC than accentuating the positive to the country. This is sad.
- To all my Democratic friends, I 100% get your frustration, raw emotions, and horror when thinking about the future of Ukraine. Totally get it. But, step back and remember who the beggar was. If you want a loan and visit with your banker, in his house, you would not tell him and

- Freed hostage Eitan Mor reunites with his parents. God bless this beautiful family.
00:00 - Some personal news: what started with a late September call to temporarily fill in for a few weeks on TMM, has turned into an incredible journey. At the end of last week, I signed a contract with @2waytvapp to continue on this path 🎉 I could not be more grateful to
- Fellow Ds using Biden’s cancer diagnosis to push the cognitive decline convo to the rearview mirror, please don’t. One can be both empathetic and want answers. We have a massive trust problem. For the good of the country - and our party - we need transparency and accountability.
- Regardless of whether you support or oppose this action, may it lead to a successful outcome for our country and our allies.
- Replying to @danturrentine @chuckschumer and @SenSchumerUpdate: he did put one out last night to the media. But, he did not post it to his Senate website, nor to social media. Does he really think the proverbial tree could fall and certain people would not hear it?
