@jojofromjerz.bsky.social Going over old photos, and this one came up. Thank you for all you do.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social You were brilliant on MSNBC’s “The weeknight.” I’d like to watch that again. Will it be available somewhere soon?

@normeisen.bsky.social “It’s a feature, not a bug.” Thank you for appearing on The Weeknight this evening. Every time I see you, I learn from you. God bless you for fighting the good fight.

@nataliepategwin.bsky.social Natalie, Listening to you on NPR is even better than reading you in the Statesman Journal. I am awestruck by the depth of your research and the clarity of your delivery. Thank you!

@symonedsanders.bsky.social “The Constitution is not a suggestion.” Amen to that!

Fewer than 540 days until the midterm elections:

Bravo to this WWII veteran. He seemed very excited about smashing Fascism. 10/10, no notes.

@gtconway.bsky.social Thank you for appearing on the inaugural episode of The Weeknight, George. I appreciate your insight and wisdom. I hope you’ll be a regular.

@weissmann.substack.com Thank you for talking about Joe McCarthy on Ari’s special program this evening. My late mother talked about him and told me, “Everyone was so afraid of him.” I think that fear is Trump’s most powerful weapon. It’s why Republicans are so afraid to stand up to him.

@arimelber.bsky.social Thank you for having an absolutely brilliant panel on your program this evening. I especially appreciate Mary McCord’s use of the word “cruel” to describe some of Trump’s actions. That is a key part of this administration.

@ashleyrparker.bsky.social Thank you for appearing on Jen’s program this evening and giving us the backstory on your Trump interview.

@mariateresakumar.bsky.social Thank you for appearing on Symone’s program and sharing your brilliant analysis of the mess Trump has created by deporting children who were born in this country. It really hit me when you revealed that the mothers weren’t given a choice. Thank you.

@markey.senate.gov Thank you for appearing on Chris’ program this evening. I find that every time I hear you speak, I learn from you. Thank you.

@david-hogg.bsky.social If this is the David Hogg who appeared on Jen Psaki’s program this evening, thank you.

Paul Revere’s ride was 250 years ago this evening. The Revolutionary War started the next day with “the shot heard round the world” in the Battles of Lexington and Concord. 1/

@maddow.msnbc.com Dear Rachel, We’re going to need you for more than just the first hundred days. Thanks, Tim

@asharangappa.bsky.social Thank you for being on Chris’ program this evening. I appreciate your wisdom, candor, and energy.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Thank you for saying, “Trump can bray all he wants…) in tonight’s program. I haven’t heard that word in a while, but it is an apt description of what comes out of his mouth 🫏

@symonedsanders.bsky.social I am so thankful for you, and I hope you can be on MSNBC every week. I’m retired and in my sixties, but you and your energy make me feel younger. Thank you 🙏🏾

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social Thank you for asking tough questions and holding this administration accountable. We need a free press, not just a Trump fan club.

🚨 In one of the first national polls (per @dataforprogress.org & @boldprogressives.org) conducted since Trump's tariff announcement: By a 2 to 1 (60% to 31%) margin, independents say Trump’s tariffs will hurt Americans -- and 55% of overall voters agree.

@crampell.bsky.social I’m not sure I have this right, but if I do, “Tariffmageddon” is my new favorite word. Thank you.

Holy moly this is awesome. For any journalists looking to add interesting local anecdotes to your articles - check this out:

Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

@lastword.msnbc.com I’m thankful that you’re feeling well enough to come back this evening, Lawrence. I have missed you. Take care.
