Here is a video of domestic terrorism in America. #NeverForgetJanuary6th

The rightwing is trying to turn their minions on me by publishing a transcript of something I said today to @nicollewallace.bsky.social on @msnbc.com. I stand by every single word.

Elon Musk is targeting Social Security claiming there is widespread fraud. Donald Trump is targeting Canada claiming there are secret fentanyl labs. It's *all* lies. It's just George W. Bush telling you Iraq has weapons of mass destruction again as a dishonest pretext for doing what he wanted.

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Fact-check: True

On International Women's Day, I salute my university's womens basketball team. When my dad had cancer, my mom said the games were the only time she could escape worry. As my husband's health deteriorates and our US continues to drown, they are now my escape. I present the conference champions:

It’s borderline criminal.

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”

KEILAR: Can you guarantee that veterans benefits and care will not be affected by these cuts? REP. GREG MURPHY: No, I can't guarantee anything

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Apart from showing how evil he is yesterday, Trump showed how he’s actually a bad—moronic—dealmaker. I mean, you’ve got some guy coming in to give you his country’s minerals. Wouldn’t you want to get him to sign first before berating him on global television?

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

"Mama always said Kristi Noem is like a box of chocolates; they'll both kill your dog."

They are angry that a judge restored a public website providing life-saving resources from the CDC, FDA, and HHS.

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Cybersecurity experts sound alarms over Musk's breaches at treasury, OPM. “Hostile intelligence services are likely already at work trying to assess which Musk team members might be sloppy with their digital devices or vulnerable to entrapment or coercion.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Love this gentleman!

We have a reality tv game show host for a “president” and reality tv star for a “transportation secretary” and a morning tv “news” anchor for a “defense secretary”. So things are going about as well as expected.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...
