This district went for Trump 78% - 21%. And the constituents are furious at the GOP member. "A lot of people don't have the guts to come out in front of you." She goes on to criticize unnamed colleauges for refusing to hold town halls because they don't want to answer questions from protestors.

Shocker of all shockers: Pete Hegseth is in way over his head and embarrassed himself in his first trip overseas as the secretary of defense. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Like she did for others, @joyannreid.bsky.social elevated me. She was the first cable host to have me on as a subject matter expert. She’d reach out personally when news broke that’s in my wheelhouse, always thinking of ways to include me. She helped me find my voice, my lane.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.

We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.

@Joyannreid speaks truth to power. Her voice is VITAL now that our democracy is in peril. She needs a large platform now more than ever! We need MSNBC to know that viewers demand Joy Reid’s commentary and expertise. Add your name to the petition NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/br...

Today! ECONOMIC BLACKOUT!

As Republicans continue to hide from their constituents, it’s clear that the GOP is terrified of the backlash from the Trump-Musk coup. That backlash will grow even bigger if Republicans back a spending bill that cuts life-saving programs like Medicaid. Keep up the pressure on GOP representatives.

Trump is expected to declare English the nation's official language. America is an Italian word. California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Florida are Spanish, and a bunch of other states have Indigenous names.

This is a perfect way to prepare for whatever the State of the Union brings on Tuesday night — an event with Timothy Snyder about the threats of authoritarianism and what we can do to resist it!

This is no longer shocking.

Today, I released a framework detailing how the Democratic Party will fight against Trump’s war on working people. Read it here: win.dnc.org/memo

House GOP have developed a bill that gives child predators and pedophiles the ability to ask little girls about their bodies and ask for physical inspections. All of this to try and ban trans people from sports! It’s disgusting. Parents don’t want this.

At every corner, we must oppose these baseless attacks on the trans community. The fascist playbook looks to blame the issues created by billionaires and spineless politicians on certain groups of people. Trump has selected trans folks and immigrants. We can’t give an inch on the bigotry. Onwards ✊🏾

Tons of people are downloading the Chinese version of TikTok, RedNote. It has an even greater connection to the CCP. I said this would happen when I voted NO on the ban. Banning TikTok is not a real solution to protecting our data + many small businesses will be harmed. Pass data privacy laws!

I think TikTok goes dark tomorrow despite President Biden saying he won’t enforce the ban. People will be angry. Then, Trump signs an Executive Order giving TikTok 90 more days & boom, it’s back. And Trump saved it! Then a right wing billionaire buys it. A massive political blunder on our end.

"This is about flagrantly imposing prison-yard rules on a free press. It's about making a local pollster and a small newspaper into examples: make Donald Trump unhappy in any way and we will come for you, too," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump suing Ann Selzer.

Get ready for more face palms… Also, protect Dr. Fauci AT ALL COSTS… because he protected ALL of us… even those who wish him dead

On the path to Idiocracy, there are signs. jfc

This is as in your face white supremacist as it gets

Jfc, what a buffoon

Yes!

Read this powerful statement by Harry Litman, explaining his resignation as the senior legal analyst for the Los Angeles Times. I have watched the Times sink to second rate status. Harry’s departure suggest it is quickly becoming a red rag in a blue state. harrylitman.substack.com/p/why-i-just...

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

Biden should test the limits of Presidential immunity and force SCOTUS to issue rulings limiting Presidential powers. Get that precedent on the books now. Don't let Trump be the test case, BE the test case yourself. You know SCOTUS won't limit him, but they will limit you, & thus him. DO SOMETHING.

Sad commentary on society that someone who’s shown only grace and class has been the target of a relentless smear campaign by small, petty people desperate for attention and clicks at any cost.

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mai. Mai was an interior designer before the war and has two tiny children who she lives with now in a tent. She is hoping to evacuate Gaza but also just needs help to survive the winter. www.gofundme.com/f/help-mai-a...

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard is on a TSA watch list because of her suspicious foreign travel patterns Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the nominee for Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for her suspicious foreign travel patterns
