@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I’m one of your “dozen” followers!

I might make it a habit to post this from time to time.

@maddow.msnbc.com Three generations of determined women off to save democracy in Akron, Ohio. Some grandmas teach granddaughters to knit. I’m teaching mine to have a voice.

Some people teach their granddaughter to knit. I’m teaching mine to fight for democracy. #HandsoffAkron

“Nothing short of the integrity of the entire legal system is at stake.”

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/X2EvLTv1

I really hope Dems are planning significant ad campaigns near military bases and communities with large veteran populations. Because the GOP is giving them a hell of a lot to work with.

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.

Excellent post and call to action from Sherrilyn. I know we’re all exhausted but absolutely agree that doing nothing is a form of what Tim Snyder refers to as “obey in advance” and it “teaches power what it can do”. We need to act to show power what it can’t do. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Trump is NOT leading. He's hurting Americans out of pure spite. That's not being a president; it's being a thug, and it's abuse of power. The 25th Amendment covers this: "The president must be removed from office if they are unable to carry out their constitutional duties due to poor judgment."

Within the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, two airplanes, at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, were forced to abort landings to avoid collisions, federal aviation officials said.

This proposal to disenfranchise women should be concerning for all of us open.substack.com/pub/thefemal...

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to government ethics by: -Rescinding Biden's EO outlining ethics commitments for political appointees -Firing 18 federal inspectors general -Launching a self-enriching crypto coin This will be the most corrupt administration in history.

Donald Trump plans to pardon the terrorists who violently attacked our Capitol. Joe Biden pardoned the police officers they attacked and the lawmakers who investigated the attack. Any questions.

I’m in Denmark this week and everyone I’ve met wants to ask how a nation like the US could vote such a fool into office. They consider him to be a joke but are concerned for what he’s going to mean for continued peace and prosperity in Denmark and across the EU.

So I did not expect the primary source for the theory that the 2024 election was rigged to be... uh... Donald Trump? But below is exactly what he said, in the same speech he boasted bizarrely about Elon Musk knowing everything about "vote-counting computers." Here is Congresswoman Crockett (D-TX):

Such an embarrassment for US! I’ll be in Copenhagen next week. Hoping to mask all signs that I’m an American.

Nailed it.

This!!!!!!

The failure to prosecute and convict trump for his January 6th actions rewarded him with another term, and emboldened future would-be insurrectionists. And it fucking sucks. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/justice-de...

$200 million raised for trump’s inauguration from corporations, but they still can’t afford to pay living wages to their employees? Something doesn’t add up here 🧐

One way of protecting the country we love is keeping our memories of the events of January 6, 2021, strong and fresh. For too many people, the outrage has slipped away over time. Joyce vance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahead-e91

January 6th was a coordinated attempt to kidnap members of Congress, overturn a free and fair election by its people, and install a president whose criminality is simply unprecedented and whose involvement was complete. johnpavlovitz.com/2022/01/05/a...

Donald Trump’s 2024 Christmas Day Message to America ended by referring in all caps to his critics, foreign and domestic, and writing: “MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” The man who wrote those words will take (and thus defile) the Oath of Office as President on January 20, 2025.
