I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

For all those young people who are sad they didn’t get into UC Berkeley, I would just like to point out that Brianna Keilar graduated Phi Beta Kappa with degrees in journalism and psychology. Clearly, those degrees are overrated. This woman is a disgrace to all 4. #CNN #BriannaKeilar

KEILAR: When I think of someone who is almost 80, I would think a little dozing off here or there to maybe be kind of normal. Is that not normal? DR REINER: It's unusual to be surrounded by people in the Oval Office and you fall asleep

I’m counting the days until Polis is out of office. His disgraceful actions are a slap in the face to every Coloradan and people everywhere that believe in democracy.

This clemency grant to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. The Governor’s actions today will validate and embolden the election denial movement, and leave a dark, dangerous imprint on American democracy for years to come.
