THIS, caught on tape.

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Pierre Poilievre says he doesn't have a security clearance because it will gag him. What's the difference? He doesn't talk to the media anyways. He gagged himself. It just makes me gag! #cdnpoli

I love this! 👇🏻

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Known liar and generally weird dude Mike Johnson said he's not cutting Medicaid, just getting rid of 'waste, fraud and abuse' without much evidence of such things. We've heard these excuses before. #HandsOff

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Fighting for a world with more howls 🐺

Good stuff here

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Oh good, now we are back to no pause. Global laughingstock

Did anyone tell Trump that his so-called mandate to lower prices didn’t mean our retirement accounts? Now he’s doubling down, threatening a 104% total tariff on China. When malignant narcissism meets unbridled ignorance, bad things happen. Who knew?

Our latest: America ain’t dead yet We’re down but we’re sure as shit not out

Tim Walz: "It's not a 'woke policy' to provide food for children to get breakfast and lunch, and we get better outcomes from that. They defined things on their terms that weren't true ... we got timid."

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

If folks had voted for the Black lady who wanted to tax the rich and give everyone else a tax cut, we wouldn’t be having this problem. This guy nails it. 🔥

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the current moment and think "Abolish ICE" was anything but completely correct. ICE cannot and should not exist. Period.

I will never forgive this stupid MFers who voted for him or the ones who stayed home.

Remember when Biden refused to attend the dignified transfer of four dead Americans because he was too busy at his golf course? Oh wait, that was the orange guy. My bad.

Who said Germans aren't funny?

More of this, please! 🧵 Incredible! NJ Sen Cory Booker endured days without food and deliberately dehydrated himself to deliver a marathon 25-hr speech on the Senate floor—shattering the record set by Strom Thurmond, whose filibuster was a desperate attempt to defend Jim Crow laws.

Thank you @corybooker.com for the shout-out on @thebeat.msnbc.com today. You inspire me to fight every day!

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Welcome to Idiocracy.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

F'ing moron!

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

Walz: "My beef on this is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio, and my mom's Social Security check this month is late. That he's attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who have paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme."
