This clip of John McCain introducing Barack Obama at the 2008 Al Smith Dinner remains my favorite and funniest political moment of the past two decades. Enjoy:

O’Sullivan directly connects Facebook and Twitter to conspiracy theories fueling the insurrection at the Capitol today. “Here’s the harm."
If Trump had never before mentioned China in context of the coronavirus, then his “Ask China” to an Asian reporter might be considered unfairly racialized. But calling it out as “racist” seems an irresponsible reach.
The “Big Lie” of election fraud is a persistent and malignant cancer on the nation’s body politic, and it will only continue to metastasize until Fox News delivers radiation therapy...

is sorry that his opposing counsel is having his 'worst experience in Washington' before saying ‘but man, you should have been here on January 6th.'
Dear cable news execs: if American citizens are applauding health workers at 7pm every night, you should be covering that live also to show unity and respect. Get it together.
@acosta
quite acurately hits the White House PR stunt of “bringing Mr. Pillow out” in lieu of hearing from real medical professonals during this national crisis.
The words "brave" and "fearless" are too often applied to low-stakes performative reporting. *This* is what brave and fearless reporting looks like.

Fox News contributor: "It's like the flu and we have seen that even though it's more powerful and we know COVID-19 is a problem ... We have got to continue to live life"
As much as Stephen Miller will be pilloried by reasonable people for his Jake Tapper interview, The White House — and Trump in particular — will be thrilled and his power in this admin will surely rise as a result.
@jonathanchait
they are caring for nine kids, six from adoption and one in foster care. but go ahead and mock them. Doesn’t at all confirm any stereotypes.
@cenkuygur
is not just smart as hell, but he is a loyal family man and a great dude. He will serve his constituents very well. I’d be proud to call him Congressman. Go Cenk!
Rep. Don Young (R-AK) gets a standing ovation for saying 'It's time we hold hands and talk to one another’ before administering the oath of office to Speaker Pelosi. Lovely moment.
Great

Ever grocery store worker deserves more than praise and love during this time. Every single one of them deserves at least double pay. Tax free. And health care. Heroes, the lot of them.
This an embarrassing moment for Fox News. Still questioning the veracity of mask-wearing to abate the coronavirus? From a so-called “news” person? Willfull misinformation of display.
When a Fox guest points out that the Trump family didn't wear masks at the debate, the other panelist yells while cutting out, and the anchor both-sides the science of masks before cutting the panel off.
Hundreds of crown-wearing worshipers clutching AR-15 rifles drank holy wine and exchanged or renewed wedding vows in a commitment ceremony at a Pennsylvania church
Will there ever be accountability for Democrats? The establishment wing of the party blew one election to Donald Trump and came to the precipice of blowing another, writes

Watch what happens when Tucker Carlson steps out of the conservative bubble and brings on an
@AOC
policy adviser who debunks all the conservative media lies straight to his face (spoiler: it doesn't go great for Tucker)
New York Times ledes are like this....
"Joseph R. Biden Jr., the former vice-president and US Senator, the Democratic nominee for president, and the son of the late Joseph and Catherine, is leading in a new poll...."
If state laws can mandate women to wear at least a bikini top for outdated and puritanical reasons, surely state laws can mandate mask wearing for public health reasons.
