I’m not an ally, I’m an accomplice.

Trump and Speaker Johnson say they’re not cutting Medicaid. David Sacks is the latest to admit they are. Because they are. By almost $1 Trillion. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.

Malinowski: A couple of years ago, Vance gave a speech.. The title was universities are the enemy. He said explicitly, we cannot achieve anything in this country as a conservative movement unless we aggressively go after the universities. That's what they're doing right now

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

Trump goes on unhinged, election denialism rant attempting to link the MAGA autopen conspiracies to losing the 2020 election.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

That is in fact what this administration has done.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Clowns.

Donald Trump is lying to the American people when he says that Republicans do not plan to cut Medicaid.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Trump and Musk are trying to write into law their assault on our government — gutting programs and services that benefit everyone so they can pass a giant tax giveaway for billionaires. We will fight this disastrous budget plan with everything we’ve got.

@thebaltimorebanner.com - the residents of Roland Park Place are protesting again. This should be amplified.

Only way to do it if you love your kid.

"Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat." J.B. Pritzker

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

@thebaltimorebanner.com The residents of Roland Park Place are protesting again. Can you amplify this?

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

WOW. 60 Minutes directly criticized its parent company after the resignation of executive producer Bill Owens: “Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways.”

For. The. People.

In a case like this, you cuff the suspect in the front. Want to know why they declined to do so? Because they knew this was a photo op. These people are truly sick.

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a judge who helped migrants avoid ICE. This judge is a hero. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

They’re arresting judges now

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

@thebaltimorebanner.com Hey Banner - I really like your local coverage but we need more focus. The protest at 4:30 - 5 pm yesterday by the residents of Roland Park Place was certainly newsworthy and should have been covered.

“I’m not vouching for the man, but for his constitutional rights.” —Senator Van Hollen

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.

📌UNDERSTAND: Now that we have learned Pete Hegseth shared classified information about imminent strikes in Yemen in another group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, he should be arrested. 📌This was no one-off, this was treason.

I'm so freaking proud of my Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you, sir, for understanding the assignment and standing up for the Constitution!

This is some sick shit
