WASHINGTON – Ahead of tomorrow’s planned CNN town hall with former President Donald Trump, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting issued the following statement: “If CNN goes through with its planned town hall with Donald Trump tomorrow, the news network will be providing a noted insurrectionist, liar, and conspiracy theorist with free, unfiltered airtime with only limited live fact-checking. CNN will be platforming someone who has already shown that he will use his voice to inspire violence and bigotry with no remorse. This decision by CNN is dangerous and…

Chris Christie Doesn’t Want to Hear the Name Trump

“How many different ways are you gonna ask the same fucking question, Mark?” Chris Christie asked me. We were seated in the dining room of the Hay-Adams hotel. It’s a nice hotel, five stars. Genteel. Christie’s sudden ire was a bit jolting, as I had asked him only a few fairly innocuous questions so far, most of them relating to Donald Trump, the man he might run against in the presidential race. Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, was visiting Washington as part of his recent tour of public…

“TRUMP IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW”: That is the message that loomed over Donald Trump last Tuesday, April 4, as he returned to Mar-a-Lago from his arrest and arraignment in Manhattan. It’s the takeaway from prosecutors’ willingness to bring criminal charges against the former president—in just one of several investigations finally aiming to hold him accountable for a litany of crimes and corruption. It’s also the message that MoveOn members made sure he saw on his drive home—emblazoned on the 48-foot billboard that his car drove directly past when he…

The GOP’s ‘Abusive Relationship’ With Trump

Trump, relationship, ‘Abusive, GOP's0 comment

It’s a measure of Donald Trump’s hold on the Republican Party that his unprecedented criminal indictment is strengthening, not loosening, his grip. Trump was on the defensive after November’s midterm election because many in the GOP blamed voter resistance to him for the party’s disappointing results. But five months later he has reestablished himself as a commanding front-runner in the Republican presidential primary, even as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has delivered the first of what could be several criminal indictments against him. “It’s almost like an abusive relationship in…

Trump Isn’t Only One Facing Double Standards of Justice 

Justice, Only, Facing, standards, Double, Trump, Isn't0 comment

It’s not just Donald Trump who is experiencing two standards of justice in America these days.  In a monologue last week, Tucker Carlson highlighted other examples of a judicial double standard. He referred to the case of Douglass Mackey, who posted a satirical meme about voting by text message and is now facing up to 10 years in prison after being convicted by a New York state jury. Then he noted Kristina Wong, who similarly posted a meme about texting your vote, and yet has faced no legal consequences.  …
