Here’s the problem. Elon Musk thinks he’s President. JD Vance thinks he’s President. Donald Trump thinks he’s the butler.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Yes

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

We love the whole world, but there is just one place we want to be. ❤️

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

The fact that he posted this from the show account speaks volumes. We may have lost some incredible journalists at MSNBC, but the ones who are still there are fighting for what is right every single day.

MSNBC just fired Rachel Maddow's show production crew. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Noem said the president told her, “I want the first ad, I want you to thank me..." Noem then claimed, “I said, ‘Yes, sir, I will thank you..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

This is fascism.

@maddow.msnbc.com regarding how to pronounce Doge, it should pronounced da gee like dodgy.

US judges put a pause on Musk and Trump's ongoing crime spree. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer has temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Treasury Department records. Meanwhile, Judge Carl Nichols has issued a temporary injunction preventing Musk and Trump from firing USAID employees.

Day 72 of nonstop national protests, in Georgia people also have jobs but they make the time to defend democracy and challenge the oligarchy. They chant: "We don't want oligarchy, we demand democracy!" 📹 ( publikage.bsky.social ) #3E #EndOligarchy #GeorgiaProtests

Slovakia protests against PM Fico, call for his ouster for being a kleptocrat kremlin collaborator. #3E #EndImpunity "Slovakia belongs to a free and democratic Europe."

Call to action: US national protest on Monday February 17 at your State Capitol or White House. Spread far and wide. End Impunity End Oligarchy End Autogenocide #3E #USprotests #eyesontheoval

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure. Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump. 5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Republicans in Congress tomorrow asked about the Trump Tariffs: “I didn’t see the tweet about the tariffs. I’ll look into it and get back to you.”

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

Lots of stupid in this rant. There is, however, one admission. The pain will be real. It's coming.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau. Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
