Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

I’d like to apologize to President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine on behalf of the people of the United States of America

I don’t know if I have ever in my lifetime felt more embarrassed to be an American than I feel at this very moment…

Utterly despicable, cowardly behavior by Vance & Trump. I’m embarrassed to be an American today.

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

A legend of the game we all love.

I hate this egomaniacal son of a bitch with the heat of a billion supernovae.

A sitting US president posted this, yes it was Trump. He wants trans belly dancers and to frolic shirtless on a beach with Netanyahu. The whole thing is odd, even for MAGA

So MSNBC is now the network version of Trump: It will retaliate against anyone who dares to criticize them.

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and incredibly moving. 💙 The @katiephangshow.bsky.social will air until Saturday, April 19th! So until then, if you can, please continue to tune in and watch. I’m always grateful for the privilege of your time.

As a reminder, the CHIP program is funded via Medicaid. So the cuts to Medicaid are being made on the backs of the poor & of children in order to give tax cuts to the already-vulgarly wealthy. The vote to slash Medicaid will be on Tuesday. Get cracking in the am & call your reps at (202) 224-3121.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

The President of the United States expressing his views on the 1st Amendment

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out with kindness and encouragement, both personally and in these social media streets. So very proud of The Reidout @joy.msnbc.com team, who are truly family, and all of our supporters & friends. See you tomorrow night at 7, one more time ‼️

Yep not supporting companies that roll back DEI or support Project 2025. You've lost my $$$ for good

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My Favorite One Yet 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Why is this stunning? It's what everybody who's Really American should be doing.

This is Alvin. He is 19 years old but still likes to be held like a baby. Because he still is a baby. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

At this point, anyone who still believes we’re going to have normal elections in four years is hopelessly naïve. They’re laying the groundwork for a permanent Christian nationalist state.

Allegory alert!

I just saw an interview with a farmer who said " I wish I knew, I should have done more research before I voted for him". WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 10 YEARS??? That excuse doesn't cut it now 🖕🖕🖕

Look - I have ZERO good thoughts for enabler McConnell, but denying the man had polio is deeply mendacious and cruel.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The country you love is being dismantled from within as they consolidate power & eradicate checks and balances. But hey, enjoy the Super Bowl! 🇺🇸

Visit me in the camps

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

Conservatives have no philosophical or intellectual base of belief aside from being cruel dickheads and being offended when they aren’t allowed to be

Some of you are new here, so we’ll reiterate that on BlueSky we don’t tolerate trolling or insults, if we catch anyone being cruel, disruptive or purposely trying to sabotage, they will be muted then subsequently removed. This isn’t X, let’s have some decorum.
