PBS is reporting that Trump asked Netanyahu on a call not to agree to a ceasefire because it would help Harris. If it’s true, this would be a clear violation of the Logan Act.

What is this, the 40 something violation?! No one is holding them accountable. Beyond frustrating

Nobody seems to remember when Don Jr. got caught sending emails to foreign governments asking for campaign donations, either.

What was Trump doing meeting with Hungary's Viktor Orban last month at Mar-al-Lago or communicating with Putin or his plane mingling with Russian & UAE planes?

He's violated the Logan Act, Hatch Act, Emoluments Clause, all multiple times. Our laws & Constitution have not been applied to Trump at all.

No they haven’t. All of those are probably Logan Act violations. Crickets from Merrick Garland.

I’m glad they let loose on the bastard. There should be no holding back anymore.

It isn’t clear whether they have firm information but the assumption with him is that it happened. Don’t hold your breath on Merrick Garland doing anything.

Long overdue. Im here for the petty. As a black woman it hurt when they had to endure all the racism and cruelty because it felt sooo very personal. Hopefully, hopefully, Kamala will be able to sidestep some potholes and will feel more protected

We watched the 2nd night of the DNC, finding so much of it edifying and joyfully remarkable. It made me want to be a better person.

When the playground bully attacks you, meet him on the playground. Don't shout at him from a high window. The Obamas finally get it. Best dick joke ever.

I was always appalled by Trump's ridiculous birtherism - and thought it was disqualifying for any potential run for President. That the Republican Party even let him compete for the nomination is a stain on their former claims to care about character. (Notice that it's not a big thing for them anymore).

Omg I missed the whole thing with a sick kid and another packing to start college across the country in 24 hours, but this summary made me so excited to watch the replays!

This is how you do it. When they go low, we grab a shovel. We can worry about restoring civility to public life after we consign these weirdos to the dustbin of history.
