When it comes to China, there are things I could mention that I disapprove of about their government & how they treat their people. However, none of those things are what Republicans care about. So my warning to The GOP is you can’t divide U.S. & beat them. China is in lockstep We are divided.

@stephruhle.bsky.social You can tell Gillian Tett that she is not only well spoken because of her British accent or literary references, but I really dug her sentiment of “….it’s absolutely crazy we are resting all this emphasis and weight on these kind of palace intrigues.”

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com , Good conversation with Jason Furman. I wonder if there is a “Confessions of An Economic Hitman” thing going on with these flip flopping tariff policy announcements. A conglomerate can really take advantage of a stock exchange where things shift in milliseconds.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Make the connection already! Republicans have campaigned on less government your entire life….they get a few months of less government when they hand the rains to someone who is dumber than a bag of Navarro’s & now they present a bill for regulating tariff powers!

When you set up an entire society based upon wealth to merely survive and attack Social Security then you are the orchestrator of a Death Panel.

"Two former FBI officials familiar with the matter said Bongino’s current bodyguards have followed him inside secure FBI facilities, including headquarters in Washington. They said directors typically walk around headquarters without their security details." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

In the Trump Era, murderers are allowed to attend the funerals of their victims. #WildTimes #Measles

What are the Vegas odds on which will occur first: Stranger Things Season 5 being released or a U.S. Recession

Not saying we were friends, but just learned someone I liked & used to do business with died. He was a kind soul. I wish his family & friends all my best as they deal with his loss.

You watch Star Trek & you’re like “How long until these nerds pull their shit together.” You watch Civil War & you’re like “My birthday is in May….I sure hope my friends & family buy me guns, ammo & food rations.”

Ban abortion Ban all gender based healthcare, research, education and jobs programs under the premise of [very real] transphobia Defund social safety net programs Defund the department of education Collapse the economy and restrict the job market They’re forcing American women back 100+ years.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “So, this president who claims he loves the troops more than anyone… This week has shown that he was willing to make time for golf, for people who are lining his pockets, and for conspiracy theorists… But not for fallen soldiers. Got it.”

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Wonderful

IT'S NOT OVER.

@maddow.msnbc.com Want to play a game? Can you find my sign in Saint Paul today? My daughter ended up getting sick so we left early; I did end up giving it a gal who didn’t have one.

Because REPUBLICANS. They chose the King of Financial Failures and Fraud. People will not forget this. Trust me.

MPD: No homicides in Minneapolis since Feb 15, longest streak since 2017 "This is a strong start, but our work is far from over. We’ll continue our efforts to make Minneapolis a safer place for everyone,” said Mayor Frey. A resurgence of Minnesota nice!

See you at high noon!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social & @maddow.msnbc.com, I want you to know something: I often see these protests after they happen & am like “WTF?! I’m only the lead singer!” You did a great service by announcing there’d be a protest in my area. My eldest daughter & I will be at MN’s tomorrow. Cheers

Well then, Mike and his Republican Cult of Trump get paid for one day. Benefits for one day. Perks for one day. Amirite?

@maddow.msnbc.com Wait….did you say that Mike Johnson got The House to agree that 2025 is just one long day?! Had I taken some drugs I could shrug it off, but now my mind is broken & I can’t sleep.

@maddow.msnbc.com, Would you & your staff please research which made less sense: Jan Mayen or Covfefe? Thanks

Kindness is loaning someone your strength, instead of reminding them of their weakness

Faux news knows

The Wisconsin Supreme Court was not for sale.

If Stephen is tired of immigrants telling him he looks like a penis, it’s because native born citizens don’t say it enough. As a native born American citizen, I can confirm that he not only looks like but is, in fact, a dick with ears. #DemVoice1

“This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history in my 50 years in the business,” says Michael Osterholm, an infectious-diseases epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. “These are going to be huge losses to the research community.”
