“There are so many unanswered questions…lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don’t know and don’t expect an answer tonight.”

“WATCH: The Fox on air vs. off air comparison. To understand the depths of Fox’s hypocrisy, you really need to hear what the stars of Fox were saying on TV versus what they were telling each other behind the scenes.” @mehdirhasan
“In the long haul, I think you and all these opinion shows [are bad for America] because you’re very good at what you do [attracting] people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”

“The billions Fox has made are a fraction of what the network has cost American democracy. For too long, they peddled baseless propaganda to their viewers, knowing it was all lies.” @ProjectLincoln#DropFox
“Imagine forcing yourself to tell lies all day — in ways that were so transparent and so outlandish that there is no way that people listening to you could possibly believe anything you said. Then imagine doing that … every day …”

“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait. I hate him passionately… Admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There really isn’t upside to Trump.”

“Truth is: Trump lost the election, and no we didn’t tell you because we don’t care what you think... We were wrong. We were completely irresponsible, and we’re sorry, America. I’m sorry for repeating something that was untrue.”

@RachelBitecofer “Trump’s legal theory is that presidents are entitled to absolute immunity for official acts. Under this theory a sitting president could violate the law with impunity.” @AdamSerwer
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”
“The Twitter thing is different, right? We are seeing in these recent years that Elon Musk has behaved erratically at times, that the biographical facts that you mentioned that led to him at times talking about his loneliness, his sadness…” @RonanFarrow
“You take a guy with this much power, who is talking openly about his sadness, his isolation, his loneliness… There are people around him who are concerned. And then we as a nation — and indeed as a world — have to be concerned…”

“My top-level, expert legal analysis of the [Trump Mar-a-Lago FBI search] affidavit is: Why ain’t this dude in jail? What does this man have to do to go to jail?”
“Just the classification markings referred to in this [redacted Mar-a-Lago search warrant] affidavit — made the hair on the back of my neck stand up… Literally human lives can be at stake.” @FrankFigliuzzi1
“There is a feeling here that [if] Merrick Garland decides not to prosecute Trump, how do you hold anyone else accountable for violating classification rules going forward in the U.S. government?”@JaxAlemany
