  • ICE

    You still think ICE shouldn’t be abolished? Who in this administration will rein it in? Three more years of this will lead to more murders and mayhem.

  • Goldilocks, still

    I’m a long time fan of Chuck Todd. I have appreciated his “adult in the room” view on nearly all things for many, many years. The Toddcast is what I look forward to listening to most!

    That said, I’m leaving a comment because on today’s Toddcast, Chuck said his audience doesn’t have a lot of people on the political “poles”, and I just wanted to say hello from the Left Pole 😁.

    You fight the good fight. I appreciate all of you that make the Chuck Toddcast happen.
