"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

There’s something happening in this country.

If you did not watch Rachel Maddow tonight, go back and at least watch the first half… It’s important…

I can’t take credit for this, but it’s perfect: “I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes.”

🔥 Top Campaigns, Last 24 Hours: 1️⃣ “Our FAA and TSA are in crisis” (+2,146) 2️⃣ “Protect our privacy! Stop DOGE's access to our personal info!” (+1,977) 3️⃣ “We did NOT elect Elon Musk. STOP the coup now. Do your job or resign” (+1,172)

Made your calls to your reps today? This is not a 1 time thing. Call…Dem, Rep or Indep and voice your belief that we need everyone…all sides…to work on fixing it. Make your calls. Send your emails. Go to your rallies. It’s that important. This is a government takeover…a coup. This is now!

"the house of the USAID mission director in Kinshasa had been looted, and videos of the ransacking began circulating on social media..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

@maddow.msnbc.com I ask that you start calling what is happening in Washington a coup and not continue to give the US people hope that this will all be over soon… Or even be over in four years.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Did you make your calls today? 5calls.org

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”  No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

Two paths diverged in the woods and America took the psychopath.

Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools The orders seek to encourage “patriotic education” and restrict discussions about racism and gender by threatening to withdraw federal funding. But schools are often resistant to change. —-NYT, now

Catherine Cortez Masto just casually exposing that RFK Jr. has no idea what HHS does or how it works.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Damning.

Also, once IKEA puts a cabinet together, it usually stays together without having to replace members every month.

I’m located in Monroe County. pA. Would love to meet up with like minded individuals to vent, brainstorm, etc. re recent events. Could be once. Could be twice. Could be regularly if there’s enough interest. Let me know what you think!😕💙
