Joy Reid signs off at the end of her final MSNBC broadcast. Jen Psaki then begins her show by thanking her.

The Revolution will be AI-icized

Few people in American politics have ever exhibited less moral clarity than Nikki Haley has since 2016.

Casar: "Americans are rising up... Republicans have to lie through their teeth when they say they're not worried, bc we hear them in the hallway worried. They're worried bc they know they have a choice: they can either be representatives of their districts, or they can act like Trump/Musk employees"

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

I'm in ! Tell me how.

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

Trump is gonna destroy all the stock market gains Biden made over the past four years. Thanks, maga

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

The 'find out' phase is here.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Well, well, well… Ivanka Trump Used over $11,000 of USAID Money for Events, Records Show

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a teenage DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

After all that Marko Elez was the first taker on the resignation program.

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

I see! So first, NFL removed "End Racism,"and now they're calling for a boycott if they don't remove the Black National anthem. Is it okay with them if the black players stay or is that a boycott, as well?

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I am excited to endorse Jocelyn Benson for Governor of Michigan. We share a passion for marathon running. Just as she has conquered the miles, I am confident she will tackle the challenges facing Michigan with the same determination and spirit she exhibits as Michigan's Secretary of State.

Call me crazy, but I think Trump is working in cahoots with the communist Chinese government on this whole “TikTok ban” thing.

Make it make sense.

I ask a not-so-simple favor… Tomorrow, I’ll be spending my time honoring MLK’s legacy & posting about it. Join me. My ask—stay aware. Take time later to learn what unfolds in DC. I saw a post on IG from Bernice King that I thought was perfect, and sharing a bit here. Take a moment…

I would be interested in hearing from any TikTok refugees who are here. What do you think the next 90 days will look like? Would you stay on the app if it were owned by someone Trump had selected, whose plan was to turn it into a video version of Elon Musk's now thoroughly broken, N*zified Twitter?

The People's March turnout was greater than many expected. Keep fighting back! GREAT TURNOUT!

Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters. They give and give, he takes and takes.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I refuse to call it Inauguration Day. Trump is a wannabe, not a president. Fuck his swearing-in. I wrote a little something about MLK and how he'd feel about America, some 60 years later. I hope you enjoy it. jasonprovencio.substack.com/p/the-nightm...

People have such short memories.

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

THIS! 100% this…

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

Canadians hard at work in Los Angeles. Thank you. #cdnpoli #peipoli

KNOW THIS: Altadena is a predominantly African-American community community where Black families were redlined into. It’s not the Palisades, but losing homes, livelihoods & generational wealth is equally devastating. Communities targeted by redlining have historic reasons to distrust government.
