    Last night Tucker Carlson blamed high-earning women for problems men face. Tonight he doubled-down & went a step further calling modern society the "dark ages" and crediting women with killing science, art & comedy. "They're drunk on power and looking for new people to hurt."

    Asking because people have cut in front of me—citing an earlier boarding group—THREE TIMES in the past couple of months. Which would never have occurred to me. So I’m wondering whether this is A Thing.

    I dunno about you, but I don’t think this perspective deserves an hour of national airtime—every weeknight—in 2019. I guess if and others disagree & want to support with their advertising dollars, that’s their decision.

    AGAIN: it’s nice that Romney wrote an op-ed. But remember when he begged for Trump’s endorsement WHILE Trump was leading the birther movement? Or when he gave an anti-Trump speech in 2016... but AGAIN sought his endorsement for Senate? Actions speak louder. And now... this👇

    Whitaker has to be replaced immediately. It violates DOJ rules, and could conceivably be a federal felony if grand jury material was disclosed, to brief someone outside of DOJ on an ongoing criminal investigation. Unreal.

    This is fair. I’m just sick and tired of Republicans (cc ) who sometimes do impressions of half-decent public servants... but vote in lockstep with Trump. Speaking out is a start. But has the power to do more than speak, and he needs to use it.

    Harsh words for an incoming U.S. Senator from the chair of his own party... who also happens to be his niece. This is hugely embarrassing, . Does the Republican Party stand for **literally anything** except Donald Trump? (HINT: no, it does not.)

    This is a strong contender for Trump's least true tweet... USMCA is not in effect. Mexico is not paying. Much of the wall has not been renovated or built. Etc.

    No—it’s totally meaningless. UNLESS he earns it. We need actions, —not just words.

    Mitt says: “I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.” Which means we’re about to find out what does/doesn’t count as “significant” racism/dishonesty to Mitt
