My show, @velshimsnbc.bsky.social, exists because @joyannreid.bsky.social made that viable & important. Joy is a builder, a thought leader, a fierce warrior for justice, fairness and equity. Joy is a masterclass in holding power to account. I can’t wait to see what she ends up doing next. #myhero

If your day has been difficult, or if you’re feeling anxious, here’s some Cornish medicine to ease your heart. It might not change things much but hopefully a moment of calm will help in a small way. May your evening be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #Cornwall #sunset #sky #ocean #calm #peace #photography

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck King Musk-Trump for attempting to cut Medicaid for 72M Americans.

I really hope there’s a revolt.

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

The correct answer is “Your Honor, given my professional ethical obligations and my obligations as an officer to the court, I am not in a position to make a representation on behalf of the government in response to that question.”

It’s outrageous that Trump is blocking the Associated Press from White House events. But there’s an upside if the press becomes less dependent on what politicians dole out. After all, journalism shouldn’t look like feeding time at the aquarium. My free Stop the Presses newsletter.

Great to speak to Jen about the issues Illinoisans and those across the nation are facing. If you walk down the street and stop people and ask what’s bothering them and what they’d like to see the government address — it’s affordability. Here in Illinois, we're doing just that.

So, I understand that Elon and his band of interns are going to use AI to assess the responses to the “What did you do at work” email . . . I wonder what sort of monkey wrench could be thrown into their algorithm if the response were cheeky in the responses to really mess it up?

don't mind me, i'll just be sobbing at the muppet movie script

“I’ll see you and raise you one.”

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

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 ‼️

Let’s do it.

Try to send private security with zip ties to take away another woman in my presence…try it. I may get my ass beat, but she’s not going down alone.

Here to support my friend @joyannreid.bsky.social as she signs off, her last show! She's one of the best!!!

tbh I don’t see why we waste all this money guarding gold in Fort Knox when we can just buy a lot of crypto with it and keep track of it on a server in the trunk of one of Elon’s cybertrucks

Correction: it’s a great time to be a racist, misogynist, criminal, or a pedophile in America.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

“The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.”

Donald Trump is not king. President Zelensky is not a dictator. We need leaders who will stand for freedom and stand against authoritarianism.

CRITICAL piece!!

Someone apparently hacked the televisions at HUD today -->

This post comes long AFTER half of Trump’s cabinet instructed their employees not to respond to the email. So who do they work for?

This was a great conversation for @ondemocracychannel.bsky.social Sunday. Rep. Kaptur isn't holding back.

The little spark of hope generated by Gaetz that (a) there was a bottom and (b) Republicans on the Hill might remember that Trump is a lame duck and that it's time to start planning political futures without him... really didn't pan out.

Great News For Us, Bad News For Trump As we start another week of Trump and Musk’s avalanche of madness, I’m happy to be able to deliver more good news. I hope it gives you some relief—even if just for a moment.

“Be brave” @janefonda.com

“The choice of Mr. Bongino is a radical and abrupt departure from that practice and raises startling questions about how two people who have never served as F.B.I. agents will oversee the vast surveillance and investigative powers of an agency of 38,000 people…” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

First they came for the federal employees, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a federal employee ... You know the rest of the poem. Act accordingly.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I am proud that my law firm is currently litigation 48 voting and election cases in 18 states.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

As we speak, Vladimir Putin is launching the largest drone attack on Ukraine yet… with agent Krasnov’s help, of course.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important
