How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.

Now there is video of Senator Andy Kim being pepper-sprayed by DHS outside Delaney Hall detention facility on Monday. You can hear onlookers say, “they tear-gassed Andy Kim.”

Rapid Response 47 Btw… I found the 300-ft long “slit.” 👇🏻

Trump appeared to be injured in the incident

With its poll numbers on immigration tanking, the WH is stealing music from Drake and touting Trump as “Iceman” on TikTok with scenes of the admin’s ICE assault on Minneapolis. Bonkers stuff.

Only in Vegas. A Kim Jong Un impersonator outside a voting site near the Strip.

The District of Trumplandia. Masked officers stopping delivery drivers. Must be a suspicious order of Buffalo Wings to check out.

Shoddy displays and tiny crowds. But lots of Trump worship. Sad. My report from Trump’s Great American State Fair down on the National Mall.

Went looking for the 300 foot “slit” or “slits” in the reflecting pool Trump keeps lying about. Didn’t find any of that. But did find plenty of signs the paint on the bottom of the pool has simply disintegrated. My latest pool report.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Kennedy Center Update: Trump has left his tarp up. Looks like he is still sulking over his name being removed.

The reflecting pool on the National Mall is full of algae and turning a bright green color, like the Chicago River on St. Patrick’s Day, one DC tourist told me.

After Jesse Watters of Fox complained about my story on Trump’s ridiculous reflecting pool project, I decided to do a fuller report on many of the ways Trump is ruining DC. CRY MORE Jesse Watters ! 😂 cc Washingtonian Problems

Breaking: Kennedy Center staff is now being ordered to remove Trump’s name from the building. The removal of his name could happen within hours or days. As I found earlier today, his name is even on the center’s buses.

During my interview with Ramaswamy, he reiterated his position that he would allow Putin to keep parts of Ukraine, block Ukraine from joining NATO and even visit Putin in Moscow. The GOP contender added: “Our goal should not be for Putin to lose.”

Reporting from the scene of the crime. Trump has slapped his name on the Kennedy Center. But we will never call it the Trump Kennedy Center:

We found it. The 22 foot golden statue of Donald Trump at his Doral Golf Course in Florida. It’s very shiny. Not exactly life-like. But very North Korea feeling for sure.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Don’t get caught up in the Washington horse race reporting on Republican Rep. Thomas Massie losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger. Massie lost because he worked with Democrats and Republicans to force Trump to release the Epstein Files. That’s why Trump wanted him gone.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. Go check it out!

This is disgraceful. Stop the cover-ups! Here’s the video. From a witness on the scene. He posed no threat to your officers. From Drop Site

After being pepper sprayed by ICE agents outside a NJ detention facility on Monday, Senator Andy Kim said the agents absolutely knew they were firing on a U.S. senator. Totally outrageous.

Springsteen sings in honor of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in DC. #nokings #iceout

“Here is the breaking news… the news is broken.” My message before a hearing held by Adam Schiff in CA for stopping Trump’s march toward state-dominated media in America. The news doesn’t belong to the oligarchs. It belongs to us.

Some final thoughts on today’s show… on the free press in America. The free press is only “crumbling” if we the people allow that to happen. Watch:

As soon as the new admin’s new slush fund was announced, Trump’s goons started threatening the cops who defended the Capitol on January 6th. I had Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn on to explain.
