    Tell me you have a crowd size problem without telling me you have a crowd size problem. It was colder for Obama’s and JFK’s inaugurations and JFK didn’t even wear a coat.

    Due to the dangerously cold temperatures expected Monday, President-elect Trump's inauguration is moving indoors, sources tell @alaynatreene, @KateSullivanDC and me. Expect Trump and Vance to be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda.

    This interview with Dana Bash is a moment to recognize that it is absolutely under-appreciated that Vice President Harris is running a perfect campaign. 🧵1/4

    This morning, it was fact that Trump would do well on election night and Biden would win when votes were counted. This evening, those facts still hold but none of the pundits are talking about it and Democrats are already black out drunk/throwing up chardonnay/craft cocktails.

    It is not inevitable that anyone could be able to do what she is doing. She is a true inspiration.

    She took over a campaign that she did not hire. She added pieces to the team who have made it stronger. She ran a convention that was absolutely electric in its energy. And she stepped up to the biggest speech of her life and achieved at the highest level.

    She has worked in the international spotlight these last four years, endured incredible amounts of criticism and came out the other side absolutely ready for this moment.

    Bret came to bounce every bullshit right wing talking point off of the vice president for his audience, but she handled it with strength, grace, and an opposing world view to the one presented to his audience every day. A+ for VP Harris. Sorry you didn’t like it @megynkelly.

    I watch every Trump and Vance speech and they are littered with things that are absolutely untrue. The notion that the media ought to bend over backwards to filet Walz over a joke about an internet meme, is pretty imbalanced. There is a frog in boiling water quality to how the

    This is so insane. Imagine if Barack Obama hired someone to be the #2 at the FBI and they had to delay their start because the had contract obligations to services that help avoid government surveillance tools. Sean Hannity would talk about nothing else for weeks.

    Dan Bongino is postponing his arrival at the FBI so he can fulfill contracts with advertisers on his podcast. Read @dfriedman33 on the content of those ads.

    Imagine owning a website and using it to spread misinformation so aggressive that your own website that you own, calls you out on it. The willful use of this platform to spread lies, even by its owner, is pretty nuts.
