Less Hogg discourse šŸ‘‹šŸ» More discourse on how we are going to take back the House and maybe the Senate in the 2026 midterms—nothing else matters

Everything is so f*cked—and my biggest fear is that we will never be able to vote out this completely corrupt administration 😟

THIS SHOW! šŸ™ŒšŸ» #TheRehearsal

Angelina Jolie must be so embarrassed by her dad 😬

āš”ļø Pope Francis has died, Vatican says. Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, at the age of 88, in his residence in Vatican City, the Vatican news service reported.

I know who I want in 2028—but really we only should be talking about 2026 right now—we must focus on flipping the House and Senate—then we deal w/ 2028

Turns out a notoriously sloppy drunk wasn’t the best choice for Secretary of Defense. So weird.

Spoiler Alert: Hegseth will not resign or be fired—in another time and place he would be—but nothing will happen to him—and our military will continue to be led by an incompetent fool who was a Fox ā€˜News’ weekend host šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

Let’s just remember that the previous Sec of Def Lloyd Austin was raked over the coals because he failed to disclose he was undergoing medical treatment for CANCER—the hypocrisy from the right is insane—because it is a cult—seriously šŸ˜’

Yes to @michelenorris.bsky.social sitting in for @ayman.msnbc.com today—I love Ayman but Michele is an excellent choice—we need more of her on @msnbc.com šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Never thought I’d see the day when the IRS is trying to remove Harvard’s tax exemption (via direction from a sitting US president) while Scientology remains untouched—we are living through the worst of times 😔

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

What ACTION looks like

@matthewjdowd.bsky.social Glad to see you on here—once again you were spot on tonight with my girl @stephruhle.bsky.social šŸ™ŒšŸ»

I don’t know how those reporters can sit there and listen to this ridiculous bullshit that just pours out of the Press Sec — she is so f*cking awful — her tone alone is like nails on a chalkboard šŸ˜’

I’m deeply disturbed and upset over this ruling—we are not in war time and that fucker should not be able to remove people with no due process—they’ve already made mistakes and there will be more unfortunately—it didn’t have to be this way and I’m just really upset 😢

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

BREAKING Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman and Decision Desk HQ have projected that Susan Crawford will win the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. A major victory for Democrats.

God bless @corybooker.com He did it! He beat the record set back in 1957 by Strom Thurmond šŸ™ŒšŸ»

This story is nuts. flip.it/x2l7Wh

Such a distillation of the con: guess who got Musk's $1 million check yesterday? The head of the Wisconsin College Republicans. meidasnews.com/news/republi...

Just got this email from Galpin Motors Inc (where I bought my Mazda)

What if Lloyd Austin was married to a producer at MSNBC and casually brought her around to sensitive military meetings? That Pete Hegseth needs to resign šŸ‘‹šŸ»

Our VP is such a condescending prick—listening to his crap in Greenland is driving me up the wall—what an asshole! šŸ˜’

That Pam Bondi makes my skin crawl—her voice is beyond irritating—and if Merrick Garland was running his mouth like she is—heads on the right would explode—we need that same level of outrage—she’s completely politicized a position that simply shouldn’t be 😔

🚨 BREAKING Democrat Dan Goughnour wins a special election for the Pennsylvania State House, breaking a 101-101 tie and securing Democratic control of the chamber.

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? RATLIFFE: No OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

Secdef Lloyd Austin went to the hospital for prostate issues. The GOP was trying to crush him. Seems kinda small today huh

I’ve never seen Pete this angry and rightfully so. Trump and his administration are incompetent and they are putting this country in danger. Unbelievable fuckup.!

Especially looking forward to tonight to hear what @maddow.msnbc.com has to say about today’s news 😬

I think the Atlantic piece is probably the scoopiest scoop of the last few decades. And it has clarified one thing - other than the total idiocy of sending opsec over group chats - Hegseth and Vance have a genuine animosity towards Europe. Something for us all to ponder.

What if VP Harris was going on TV casually talking about taking Greenland despite what Europe was saying?! Again—not normal šŸ˜‘

What if Biden had gone on psychotic rant on social media demanding an unflattering portrait be removed from a state capitol’s wall?! Let’s be clear—this is not normal šŸ˜‘

NONE of this is normal

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.

This motherfucker threw every American on Social Security under the bus today. With cynicism, hubris, and rancor. Where are the calls for his resignation? Or at least his apology for insulting the integrity of the elderly and the disabled, people who earned a critical lifeline? Reprehensible.

She’s so fucking annoying

2017 seems like good times now that we are living through 2025 šŸ˜’

ā€œShamefulā€ is too kind a word. But you’re right, this kind of moral cowardice will not pay off. Especially for people who care to look at themselves in the mirror every morning.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

An outrage. Disgusting.
