    As a former White House reporter, I don’t say this lightly: Media should ignore the Trump follies, abandon the WH briefing room, and interview governors, doctors, nurses, victims and anybody else approaching the truth. Stop being props. Just stop.

    The “woman in Michigan” has a name. It’s Gretchen. @GovWhitmer, to you. Our governor. Disrespect her, you disrespect our state and you disrespect us. We don’t forget. Punk.

    Dear Christian: There is no war on Christmas. Nobody hates Christmas. Everybody wants you to be Merry. Except for those idiot liars who want you to be scared and miserable about a phony war on Christmas. They’re at war against truth and happiness. Merry Christmas, Ron

    Joe Biden wasn’t my first choice for the Democratic nomination. Or second or third or fourth. But, based on his opening few days and first news conference, damn I was wrong: He’s the exact right person at the right time

    No self-respecting White House reporter should ever quote or interview @PressSec again. Mueller documented her outright lie about the @FBI. Freeze her out.

    My take on the Rushmore speech: Trump is like a man who’s about to lose his house to the bank — so, out of pique and self-loathing, he torches it. On his way out of office, he’s burning our house down
