Mellman: Trump was trying to undo 234 years of presidential precedent by committing criminal acts as president

This statement by Columbia University faculty is legally incorrect, and it will be used as evidence in future litigation. These people should stop making statements without consulting counsel. These Columbia University faculty say that anything up to 'specific incitement of violence' is permissible,

I fully agree with the White House—these “protests” are antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Add some tiki torches and it’s Charlottesville for these Jewish students.

To Columbia University President Minouche Shafik: do your job or resign so Columbia can find someone who will.

If anyone wants to know why the 118th Congress is the least productive in modern history, this is why.

House Republicans won’t do anything just because it’s the right thing to do - there always has to be an angle or an “owning” of the other side.

This toxic mindset has to stop.

.Speaker Mike Johnson is so incompetent and ineffective he may NOT be able to pass a bill that’s already law.

If you break your arm, you go to ER and get it fixed. If you have a mental health crisis, you get an appointment 2 weeks out. It’s past time we treated mental health like physical health.

There are some broader lessons we can learn from problematic Holocaust denial polling.

My latest column…

This week I delivered my fifth State of the County address. We’ve made a lot of progress, and the future is bright. To watch or read the speech, you can go here: oakgov.com/government/cou…

Kind of you to remember Steve….

FWIW sylvia lazos 82% of Americans reported owning a cell phone in 2010 (including 87% of Latinos). So it was hardly “before cell phones”

Religion’s political power: Donald Trump, hardly known as a scholar of Christian scripture, is now hawking Bibles. It is a strange story that sums up an important reality in America today.

You can't make this shit up.

American workers earn less paid vacation than any other developed nation. Right now, over one in five workers in the private sector do NOT have access to annual paid leave.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is right - there is NO reason why America should be so behind on this.

I was John Kerry’s pollster in 2004.

I wish I could say Ohio, and the election, were stolen from Kerry, who would have been a vastly better President than his opponent.

They weren’t. Robert F. Kennedy Jr is just plain wrong about this and much else.

Beautifully said. Well worth reading.

In an emergency, minutes could mean the difference between life or death - & we must equip first responders with the resources they need to act quickly.
 
I’m proud to deliver over half a million dollars for a new Warwick Fire Dept’s Emergency Operations Center to keep RIers safe.

The buffoonery of these two brings disrepute on House Representative

Listening to Donald J. Trump makes clear that he suffers from serious psychological and intellectual impairments.

He needs help, not the White House.

The U.S. is the only advanced economy that doesn’t guarantee any paid vacation for workers, despite American workers being the most productive in the world.

EVERY worker deserves a day off. That’s why I’ve introduced the #PTOAct .
