So proud of Trump stronghold Knoxville, TN for a massive turnout that stretches at least six city blocks! cc @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

@maddow.msnbc.com Posting from ruby red Naples, FL. It’s UNBELIEVABLE! I never dreamed this many people would turn out today for this rally! I am so pumped right now, I feel like kissing a republican!! You told us to do something, and this is me doing something way out of my comfort zone! Claudia

Even as the stock market crashed, President Trump was in Florida at his Doral golf resort and Mar-a-Lago club helping pump up family businesses, evidence that Trump continues to monetize the presidency. A NYT behind-the-scenes look with Theodore Schleifer and Zolan Kanno-Youngs nyti.ms/3XPqyIa

#handsoff2025 I was proud to take to the streets of Knoxville, TN with thousands of people who love our country and can’t sit quietly anymore.

Damn, that's a fantastic video for a campaign launch.

Cry more

Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban." She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X. "You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

Thank you, protesters.

The grief I have about this Department of Education EO. It's entirely unconstitutional, and yet they will take a hatchet job to the agency until there is just a skeletal frame left, and an entire generation of kids will be damaged by it. The courts must stop this immediately. And people must rise

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

WATCH: Senator Merkley and other Dems say the anger towards Dems that caved is justified. Senator @johnfetterman.com , on the other hand: “What’s fighting? What does that mean?”

People like this fiery veteran are why MAGA Republicans have stopped having town halls. Last night, he continued to shred Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) as police officers were dragging him out. The MAGAs are not so fond of free speech now. Never stop speaking up, America; this is our right!

Awww. Makes me smile

Oh yeah they're gonna cut social security.

Yep. This.

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

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...

For anyone with lingering hope Trump would do the right thing, the grotesque Oval Office display must end it. Hold out hope for America, for Europeans dedicated to democratic values and freedom. But never hold out hope thatTrump will serve the interests of America.

A disgraceful day.

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

I’m in!

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

In issuing the temporary restraining order, the judge said DOGE’s access to the data breached federal privacy laws and posed irreparable harm to plaintiffs. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Welcome to the RFK Jr Era of Public Health.

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 ‼️

BREAKING: A plane has crashed in Arizona, leaving at least one person dead.

AP: “The Trump administration is falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving Social Security payments.” www.tnledger.com/editorial/Ar...

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Asked about the head of Social Security resigning over Elon’s DOGE squad trying to get access to sensitive data — Trump immediately spins it into a lie that she was fired over unsubstantiated claims of massive amounts of fraud that have been resoundingly debunked.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

🔥 “Wake the hell up.” Former RNC chair @michaelsteele.bsky.social goes in on Elon’s infiltration into the federal government, accessing everyone’s personal info

Of course he is…

Confirming that the DC/NY folks who resigned yesterday got it right

...they're eating the protections for the people who live there.

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

Always.
