The "legitimate political discourse" line from the RNC might be the single most self-damaging statement by a party committee in history.

- The single worst case of mass political cowardice in my lifetime was the GOP pols backtracking on their denunciation of Trump and re-embrace of Trump after this crime against the nation itself.Tomorrow marks the fourth anniversary of the violent attack on our democracy—an attempt to overturn the election results and keep in power a president who had lost. We cannot allow anyone to rewrite the history of January 6. Here’s what Republican leaders said immediately after
00:00 - Every single conservative in the country would still be yelling for major repercussions for Jan. 6 if the party IDs had been switched. EVERY SINGLE ONE. The hypocrisy sickens me.
- Trump tried to get Bolton killed by removing his security clearance. Since that hasn't happened yet, Trump is gonna try to throw him in jail. This should frighten every sentient American.
- Don Lemon on CNN is doing an utterly dishonest re-interpretation of Barr's summary of Mueller's report to make it sound like it makes Trump look worse than it does. Total spinning. Not honest. @brithume
- To be clear, a vote to acquit is a vote for the Marjorie Taylor Greene wing of the party over the old Reagan conservatives.
- I am picking up a vibe shift in Harris' favor nationally.
- The actual record shows Trump did not do a good job on immigration, did not do a good job on the wall, did not do a good job on trade, did not do a good job on manufacturing, did not do great on the economy, did an awful job on the pandemic, and drove the GOP to numerous losses.
- The Harris-Walz ticket is so bad that even I, an original and still fierce NeverTrumper, feel at least enticed to vote for Trump just to stop these extremists. I won't do it, of course, but that's how sickeningly awful the Harris-Walz ticket is.
- There was no assault. The pepper-ball shot was indefensible. It is morally repugnant to defend it. @SpeakerJohnsonMike Johnson on the priest who was shot in the head with a pepper ball while peacefully protesting outside an ICE facility: “Religious freedom does not extend and give you the right to get in the face of an ICE officer and assault them.”
- Trump's election is a disaster for Ukraine and for Eastern Europe. It is a disaster for the US and world economies b/c of tariffs. It is a disaster for the rule of law in the US. A disaster for civility in public square. And on and on. @BillKristol @JoeNBC @mattklewis @RobGeorge
- Replying to @AOCI'm not even sure you are writing in English. I think this is a new language called Wokeish. Otherwise known as nonsense.
- I have never seen such soul-less, vicious, mindless, lynch-mobbish behavior in my adult lifetime as I have seen from the Left/media against the most unlikely target imaginable, Brett Kavanaugh. Hades awaits the mob.
- Replying to @RepCori and @OversightDemsNot "birthing people." MOTHERS. Jeesh. Stop with the moronically woke linguistics.
