Charles Blow's fiery exchange with Scott Jennings exposes a complex debate! Blow challenged Jennings on his past criticisms of Trump's executive overreach while Jennings defended Trump's immigration mandate. As Jennings deflected with a question on Biden's policies, Blow accused him of evasion. This tension illustrates the ongoing struggle over accountability in political discourse. Explore the full discussion here: https://crooksandliars.com/2025/05/scott-jennings-forget-when-i-attacked.

Enjoying this morning’s Metropolitan Opera broadcast of Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up In My Bones. We’ve loved Blanchard’s music for film and video: so it’s a treat to experience this opera on #classicalKINGFM I’m loving his melodic creativity. https://www.metopera.org/season/2023-24-season/fire-shut-up-in-my-bones/?gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds #MetropolitanOpera #TerenceBlanchard #CharlesBlow

#CharlesBlow on #MSNBC Morning Joe - Bravo, Mr Blow
- spot-on. "Dignified silence doesn't work against trump" Talking heads reply -oh well, President Biden can't comment on legal issues. WTF. That's not a law--it's a "norm." Does anybody think for 1 second that if things were reversed, cheeto would not be screaming from the rooftops about Biden indictments? Norms? As if cheeto GAF.
