Jim Acosta

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

At 4p ET/1p PT, I’ll have a one of a kind interview with Joaquin Oliver. He died in the Parkland school shooting. But his parents have created an AI version of their son for a powerful message on gun violence. Plus TX Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social - see you soon on Substack and later on YouTube.

That wasn’t a summit. That was a debacle.

Excellent Friday lineup to close out the week: @jessmichaelsspeaks.bsky.social plus former Wash Post reporters @jonathancapehart.bsky.social and Ashley Parker plus election security expert David Becker. See you at 4p ET.

In case you missed it, Senator Slotkin makes a great point here about how lawyers have advised her to lay low and not make any waves with Trump. And instead, she has done the exact opposite by standing up to him. This is the way. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Fantastic guests today as I’ll welcome @slotkin.senate.gov to the show. Plus one of our all-stars @lawyeroyer.com as well as @davidjolly.bsky.social who is running for governor in Florida. See you at 4p ET/ 1p PT - first on Substack and later on YouTube.

Jan 6 hero Harry Dunn aka @libradunn1.bsky.social is running for Congress. Harry told me on the phone last night he was motivated to run after seeing Alex Pretti being gunned down in Minneapolis. Here’s Harry’s inspiring campaign launch video: youtu.be/KzUVfHPUVvw

Now more than ever it is time to support independent journalism in America. Make no mistake. Trump and his forces are trying to harm new media in the way that they damaged corporate media last year. Remember… What we do is powered by the people. And this is no time to let down our guard.
