Oh now he tells y’all?? After spreading lies and conspiracy theories, RFK Jr. says don’t listen to his advice—as head of HHS. Sir, we already knew. We were just waiting on you to admit you’re unqualified.

Well…I have seen a lot of hearings and today was quite a performance of blissful ignorance. Will talk about all of that. Plus one of the most important Senate races in Georgia. @ossoff.bsky.social joins me. And we will talk a lot about the power of protests and movements with @booker.senate.gov

Chaotic and cruel Friday today. Really hard to watch that video of a 16 year old being slammed to the ground by ICE agents, Newark mayor arrested (had every right to be there) Stephen Miller musing about gets g rid of habeas corpus. We will talk about all of it at 9pm.

@aliciamenendez.bsky.social if you all discuss the awful posting of WH picture…please don’t give airtime to it but post a pic of Pope Francis. Whether its purpose was idolatry, a joke, to trigger Dems or own the news cycle, the disrespect is unpalatable to so many of us. Thx

TONIGHT: @weissmann.substack.com joins @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

Good to see another judge block another lawless Trump order targeting another law firm. Every legal challenge by a law firm has been successful. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

“Love our neighbors - Welcome the stranger - Care for the most vulnerable among us - Speak the truth - Work for justice…”

Neighborhood watch.. 😊

@aliciamenendez.bsky.social I was in New York City today for my birthday and having to walk by your favorite musical theater and took this picture. I’m wishing the show all the best

New visitor on my feeder cam. This is a White throated sparrow. The stripes on its crown along with yellow between the eyes is distinctive. Even the feathers on its wings so beautiful 🤗

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

Scroll respite.

@maddow.msnbc.com I know there’s serious issues being discussed and we’re grateful for the coverage. But just want to say well done on singing tonight. Mary Poppins would be cheering g you on as well. 👏🏻👏🏻Thx for a moment of fun. 😉

This is well worth reading: "Whatever dam of despair that kept so many Americans quiet or despondent has now broken..." slate.com/news-and-pol...

There’s no reason to go to this thing.

Yes, that is a real headline. www.kcur.org/health/2025-...

It is up to us, all of us, to never quit talking about the brazen, incompetent, dangerous, and illegal sharing of the most classified information of our government <details of an attack on our enemies> over a text message which included an unknown person. People must be fired.

@maddow.msnbc.com Hi we are watching D:WH and wondering what other conversations this grp had on Signal that wasn’t caught. One has to think it wasn’t a one time event. Geez what a cluster f&!k the defense team has brought. Not to mention jeopardy for military personnel 🤯

@maddow.msnbc.com it’s Friday and there used to be a time where you would talk about the best things today & make a fav cocktail. I know everything is so intense. But can we get just a moment of joy as a Friday sign off? It doesn’t have to be alcohol but a little moment…we need it. 😌

I had a surprise young constituent in my Dallas office yesterday — precious Ms. Lilli! Special thanks to her amazing family for their advocacy and for reminding us all on why protecting our access to quality education MATTERS!

Shout out to independent bookstores everywhere. Here’s a gem in Chinatown, NYC. They’ve also got a little reading room and an espresso bar in the back. (44 Mulberry St.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At the protest for veterans in DC.

@aliciamenendez.bsky.social We’re watching tonight. As a Dem I would say the town-halls sponsored by Dems need to have a plan with answers. (Given how Sen Schumer appeased the GOP today) So what can they say at these mtgs that have any follow thru? We want outcomes not rhetoric. Great show tonite 👏🏻😉

"He's been absent. I haven't seen him," said Snyder, an Army veteran. "He hasn't had a town hall. It's been a decade." Snyder said the last town hall Rep. Austin Scott held in 2015 was restricted to veterans only, and she wasn't invited despite her military service." www.13wmaz.com/article/news...

"Undermining NOAA’s operations could risk the safety of millions of Americans and destabilize countless industries, from farming and fisheries to energy and finance, threatening job losses and economic downturn..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/c...

"Rural hospital leaders in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas who spoke to The Washington Post warned that the enormous cuts congressional Republicans are weighing could further destroy limited health-care access in rural America..." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

They’re posting our photo again @rebeccacaine.bsky.social . (Love your leopard hat btw.)

🧵The Weekend is back with @michaelsteele.bsky.social, @aliciamenendez.bsky.social and @symonedsanders.bsky.social from 8am-10am ET!

The Contrarian salutes Sen. Elissa Slotkin for her response to Trump’s address to Congress. She is “calm in a crisis, level-headed, pragmatic, and steeped in American values—everything Trump is not. She is a symbol of hope in these dark times.” open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

just inane. "For the farmers in the Central Valley, it was not irrigation season, and this was their precious summer supply..." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Trump cuts aid for elderly people and families who use food banks in Michigan "The USDA has confirmed to the council that... purchases made after Jan. 19 are not currently eligible for reimbursement and it's unclear when or if they will be..." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

Truly humbling moment. I dont like being put on a pedestal, but I won't lie this was pretty cool as was when we gave a press conference together in Manhattan. Thanks Mr. De Niro
