If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

When Donald Trump took office, the economy was firing on all cylinders. In his first 100+ days, he’s done his best to drive it into a ditch. Front and center in that agenda: his tariffs that could push people out of work while also hiking up costs.

Miles Taylor is being targeted for telling the truth about Trump’s abuses This is retaliation—plain & simple It will not stand in a court of law

Miles Taylor aka ANONYMOUS is being targeted by the Trump regime.

Tacky as fuck but i guess at least Trump got told to watch his lip so he's on his best behavior.

The Republicans in Congress could remove Donald Trump any minute they wanted to. Blame them. Tell them to get rid of him. There is no daylight between the Republican Party and Donald Trump.

Cognitive decline? What if Biden said “the thing you carry the babies around in”?

Tax payer funded propaganda teaching right-wing, political conspiracy theories as fact to little kids. This is what actual indoctrination of children looks like. popular.info/p/new-oklaho...

@maddowblog.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com is there any way we can get a video clip on that segment on the Oklahoma City raid?

at his rally in Michigan, Trump plays a propaganda video of prisoners having their heads shaved at the Gulag in El Salvador to big cheers from the crowd and "U-S-A!" chants

John Roberts, you up?

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him. Now, his visa is being revoked. Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe. www.deseret.com/utah/2025/04...

Excellent news!

Please share! A U.S. born citizen has been arrested in Florida and placed in an ICE hold!! They want to transfer him to immigration detention DESPITE acknowledgment he is a citizen. This is happening in Leon County and we were at his hearing earlier this morning.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

this is just a horrible, pathological liar. we know that. but they know they've lost the public on this one. the escalation is the giveaway

Conditions in the Salvadoran gulag; They only leave their crowded cells for 30 minutes a day. This group documented torture, ill-treatment, incommunicado detention, severe violations of due process & inhumane conditions, such as lack of access to adequate healthcare & food. We must bear witness!

Huge protests are the most important thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there is no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.” I’m talking numbers so large they shock people — friend and foe and media alike Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

Trump signed an executive order that will delay Medicare price negotiations for a range of prescription drugs. This will raise the price of life-saving medicine for millions of seniors and cost taxpayers money. It's a big win for Big Pharma. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

@gregcasar.bsky.social: "Elon Musk gets $8 million a day in federal government contracts and subsidies. $65 a day is how much your average senior gets on Social Security just to barely survive on after working their entire life."

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Trump ends promising cancer research. USA! USA! “Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

Even though the market rises because of the tariffs pause, the cost associated with the rest of the world realizing they can’t count on us not to be nuts will be immeasurable and far-reaching. 🇺🇸

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”
