Unfortunately, it wouldn't have made any difference to the Republican members. They are rubber stamping all of TFG's nominees, no matter what information comes forth.
the hearings for this are a total sham and waste of time. we just need to prepare for whats gonna happen after all these, unqualifieds get to their posts and find out what they are up against.. and whats against them!! thx rachel
I am under no delusion that this will stop his confirmation. He will get the same 52-48 confirmation. In retrospect we probably should have made the threshold 60.
Turtle McConnell also caused this when he refused to do his damn job and impeach DJT in either of his 2 impeachment trials. He could have ended this nightmare there. But no, the GOP only cares about their power, not their oath of office
McConnell pushed for getting trump elected, he has always wanted the courts stacked. How do you think an unqualified idiot could do that 3 I said 3 Supreme Court justices, conservative judges up the butt all over US McConnell who is now close to retirement, since he screwed up courts. 😡
Thank you for your thoughtful response it was really insightful. You’re clearly very knowledgeable, and I truly admire that. Your profile stood out to me, and I would be honored if we could connect as friends.
And it wouldn't have changed anything. He could have goosestepped up to the desk in full nazi uniform, waiving a Russian flag with trumps face on it, slobbering drunk, while actively assaulting someone, and the republicans would have still voted him in.

Obviously that’s not an issue with this Congress. He’s going to be confirmed anyway. Republicans seem to support their folk regardless of qualifications. They just need an “R” by their name. Talking about DEI hires.
The Trump Party, formerly known as the GOP are complicit in everything this administration is doing. They all should be arrested, tried and if convicted be punished for their crimes of aiding & abetting and for treason.
Ms Maddow. I have a "working idea" for a grass roots message. Can you text me?.
Between you and Ms. Townsend Sanders, I think it's 2 HUGE voices. Oh, you can look at my account to see my message . Thanks
At this juncture, I can’t blame you Canadians (or Danes or Panamanians or Mexicans or Swedes or Germans or French or or or) if they need to step away from U.S. relations, whether it be commerce or security. This Administration cannot be trusted…
we ALL know Republicans would confirm every single Trump nominee no matter HOW corrupt or compromised. They could literally have Putin's hand up their asses and the spineless GOP would cave.
The Moscow connection appears to be a recurring theme in this administration. You’d almost have to believe the whole thing is a foreign plot to destroy us from within. Hmm…
He will get confirmed and he’s coming for you dishonest libtards! Trump is doing fantastic and it’s only the beginning😀! You dishonest dems are in for a reckoning, you will rue the day you weaponized the justice department against Trump! Stop listening that halfwit Madcow what a complete buffoon!
Why does any of this matter. The hearings were performative and a waste of taxpayer dollars. It was always a done deal. If any Dems voted for any appointees you are at risk of a primary
quite a few democratic senators did indeed vote for trumps picks which is disguising to me. Booker and fetterman for two. There were others too. Dems are hopeless.
If the place where he does his banking see suspicious activity on account don’t they file a SAR especially if it’s going into his account via a wire transfer?
I guess getting paid in Rubles was to difficult for the republicans to work the conversion to USD. Maybe the republicans should not have gone to private schools that pick and chose what they teach based on whose family makes the biggest donations.
Presumption with this news being it would matter. Sadly this story has no traction. We water down our messaging opportunities by crowding each tidbit out with stories like these this. Wasn’t even qualified to sit, full stop. No one besides those who self high five know or care.
Who cares about financial statements, national security or even integrity? They only want to kiss the ring. Caring about our country and its citizens never crosses their minds.
I haven't heard much about Juan Hinojosa the only Democrat running for the 32nd district in Florida. Shouldn't he be amplified right now? Please cover him! We need to know about him and if he's good for us we need to support him!
How about some of our house of Representatives give up their seats for any of the following;
Sally Yates, Andrew McCabe,General Mattis, Rex Tillerson (Trump is a moron), Omarosa, John McEnroe, John Bolton, General Mark Milley, General John Kelly, etc., you fill in the blanks_____.
"No democracy movement has ever failed when it was able to mobilize at least 3.5 percent of the population to protest over a sustained period.... the U.S. would need to mobilize about 11.5 million people to assert popular, democratic power on the government" (Big Think).
What is the point of confirmation hearings?? They’d as soon confirm a red dog as long as that red dog wore a maga hat. Do we really HAVE to pay these jokers??
Well, I guess that shouldn’t have been legal. All that should’ve been filed before his hearing. Why didn’t the Dems ask about it? it wouldn’t of changed the GQP opinion they’re putting Trump’s pics in regardless of the fact they have no knowledge or skill, but the Dems???
W:doesn’t anyone speak of the foreign actors involved in our elections. A mo prior he thanked 3 GA 🤷♀️for his win just send $ then weeks later Elon joins after hanging w/Putin. DT thanked Elon for his computer work to give him a win? How did Elon spend $277 million in 3 weeks?
Trumpists, (Musk/GOP Republicans) want to increase US national dept with 4 Trillion dollars, to provide tax relief to TOP 1 % aka billionaires, multi-millionaires…
KP isn't a patroit, isn't for America, isn't even capable of not lying. He lied about a clrnc to operate when Spec Ops when they were in the air (not cleared). This guy is wasted space. They will betray you cuz you are black you idiot. Just like Vance's wife was racially scorned.
Since Rachel Maddow's joined Bluesky, it's great to notice that others have followed.
Would be even greater if Rachel could urge ALL members of Congress and ALL governors to join Bluesky, as well. We're done with that other place. Everyone should be here. 🙏🏽
Patel also received money from Russia. Another Puppet String holder of Trump along with Elon Musk. Xi of China, Putin of Russia, MBS of Saudi Arabia have the Puppet strings on Trump.
They aren’t morons but they are traitors and that’s worse. I can’t wait until they are apprehended, tried, convicted, and sentenced. I j use hope that I’m around to see it.
Patel is a criminal actor for Putin. He serves crime at Putin's pleasure thru Putin's lap dog, the psychotic orange felon. We cannot allow fascism to control our country! Protest activities on 2/17 are forming across America. Learn more at refuse fascism on Baky or at https://refusefascism.org.

We are dealing with MAGA Senators…….they only do what Trump wants……they do NOT care about who is in their respective jobs or what the Constitution says……only what Trump says
Not because this will stop #Republicans from confirming this weasel, but because it tells us he will be confirmed into a position where he is illegitimate.
My take is that they are Nazis, straight out of nazi Germany’s playbook. Trump is first generation German-American. Hopefully, if he gets rid of the 14th amendment, he’ll have to deport himself.
Let’s get if they had video of him with a tin foil hat saying he was going to get his orders directly from Moscow the senate would still confirm with old Mitch saying no to try and distance himself from his ness, Collin’s and Lisa yes because “he answered all their questions”.
A reminder that during Trump 1 financial services and courts in Canada and the UK gave no special treatment to Trump. Another property with his name on it was going under at the time in Toronto. Feb 2017
I think the Democrats are realizing it is time to quit "playing" by the Marquess of Queensberry rules when the GOP is behaving like a Mob Boss and sending in multiple goons into the Ring with Tommy Guns. I hope the realization hasn't come too late.

Thank you, Rachel! EVERY DAY
Our entire system is predicated on a gentlemen’s agreement. That’s the guardrail, and it will not hold against these people.

We’ve got Judges and Government persons lie to Congress but no consequences.
Born in USA!!
This is corruption and dictatorship at its best😠

They've won. We can hamper them. We can't stop them so long as they remain in office and have backing from Every congressional Republican.
