.@RepAdamSchiff joins @AliVelshi to discuss why it’s “appalling” that Donald Trump is threatening to not sign the Covid-19 relief bill without changes when the need for relief is so immense around the country.

 

Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!

 

Speaking on behalf of the millions who will not be able to get the vaccine for weeks or months, I have a message for politicians: Please, if you are going to jump to the front of the queue, do it in private

 

This, among many reasons, is why college sports shouldn’t not have been played this year. I say this as someone who loves sports and makes a living because of it. We willingly sacrificed these players for money and entertainment. We won’t know the extent of the damage for years.

 

*Trump’s Circle* sure is lookin like a noose..

 

My colleague just called seven Boston area hospitals trying to find one capable of accepting an ICU transfer. No beds. If you want to give HCWs something for the Holidays, #stayhome. (And maybe shut down indoor dining @MassGovernor @marty_walsh.)

Here’s @NicolleDWallace with zero fucks left for the bullshit:

 

The pardon power is intended to be humane: It tempers the bluntness of the law with compassion for individual facts and circumstances that the law may not account for. It doesn’t work if you elect a President lacking in humanity and compassion. And especially if he’s a criminal.

 

Trump just pardoned 2 former Republican Congressman — Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins. Just your daily reminder that Republicans don’t actually believe in the law at all.

Biden called Trump 'Putin's puppy.' The president-elect may put Moscow on a tighter leash.

 

Trump is trying to create pardon outrage fatigue by the time he pardons himself and his children.

The world let Saudi Arabia get away with the murder and dismemberment of my friend journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hope we won't let Saudi Arabia get away with the torture and imprisonment of Nobel Peace Prize nominee and women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul.

Many will be wringing their hands about Papadopoulos, but in my view the pardon of the Blackwater employees is the most egregious and disgusting of @realDonaldTrump actions. This was a graven war crime that resulted in the death of 17 Iraqi civilians. Shame on you Mr President.

 

Everyone needs to watch @TheDissidentMov which is about the cold-blooded murder of Jamal Khashoggi. I’ll be talking about this a lot more. Stay tuned.
