“My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.” -Maya Angelou Happy birthday, Maya Angelou.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

Senator Cory Booker joins me live at 9PM Eastern on MSNBC.

Former Costa Rican President and Nobel Prize winner Oscar Arias said that the US had revoked his visa to enter the country, weeks after he criticized US President Donald Trump on social media saying he was behaving like ‘a Roman emperor’ reut.rs/4iRDMfK

We need to talk about this. The regime's un-uniformed secret police are snatching people off the streets of U.S. cities, detaining, disappearing and deporting them based on the color of their skin, their tattoos (sometimes mistakenly); even sending some to foreign gulags. www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/p...

To Muslims celebrating across New Jersey and the world, wishing you a joyous Eid al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak!

Every day I am shocked by the actions that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have taken. I know that their recklessness is causing real and harmful damage to our nation, but you don’t just have to take me at my word. You can see just a few of the many examples for yourself 🧵

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

I'm filling-in for Ari Melber tonight on @thebeat.msnbc.com at 6 pm ET! After this afternoon's unfortunate Trump stump speech at the Department of Injustice, we've got a lot to talk about. Plus, some very smart guests on the economy, the environment, and vaccines. See you then!

“He is hurting the people,” Carey said. “He’s hurting the very people that voted for him, let alone the rest of us — he does not care. And you don’t get to stand up there and let it happen if you are an elected official, regardless of where you’re from.” avlwatchdog.org/army-veteran...

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 ‼️

I really like this thread, talking through process, and each place we can stop them. Republicans tried to cut Medicaid in (at least) 1981, 1995, 2003, 2005, 2010, and 2017. Now 2025. This record of our success and their failure doesn't mean we'll stop them. But we can. We have before.

TONIGHT: @telliotter.bsky.social talks to @velshi.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

"Years of toil gone in the blink of an eye." Please watch this short film, something Zeteo is so proud to have commissioned, of a Palestinian family trying to return to their destroyed home in northern Gaza. Powerful. Heartbreaking. Infuriating.

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

pushback works, part infinity: apnews.com/article/immi...

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."

@juddlegum.bsky.social on Musk seizing private data of government employees: “This information is already being used to target people, the purge of all of the so-called DEI staffers. It was done by looking at the job descriptions that are in this database.”
