As a journalist, it's not my job to tell you who to vote for.

As a journalist, it IS my job to warn you that if we vote Donald Trump back into office, it may be the last vote we ever cast.

Odds that Trump will officially sign the new building over to his family business and open it as a hotel/restaurant/crypto casino?

Well, Trump was being prosecuted—NOT persecuted — for his Jan 6 coup attempt and his theft of top secret documents.

Does this mean that the charges against Bolsonaro are equally legitimate?

“RE-read”??

Garcia: I think Trump needs to reread the Constitution, which clearly lays out the powers of the Congress. Congress is an equal branch of government. Our job is to serve as a check and balance and to investigate, especially if there is corruption.

And so this idea that Donald Trump has sent his White House counsel to send me a letter threatening investigations of me, of Democrats who actually stand up to him and stand up to this corruption, is crazy. And it is so much a part of what Donald Trump does.

He tries to weaponize the government against people he perceives may be his political enemies.

The reality is that we’re not going to be intimidated. We have real investigations to conduct, and we’re going to take an aggressive posture in doing so.

Would love to see what was actually on the teleprompter.

Trump: He was stepped on by enemy. I mean, he was—the enemy was all over and he made the mistake. A mistake that people understood when they were in the battles of jungles. He stepped on enemy explosives.
