Let the legalists and the historians debate. In my eyes Trump is 100% a Russian assett.

WOW. This is a major screw-up by the @nytimes.com. It's reporting 101 to ask people about their backgrounds especially when that is a key part of the story. Due diligence is not optional, it's the damn job. @froomkin.bsky.social has all the ugly details. presswatchers.org/2020/10/how-...

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

Weird, but credible. Do you know of any evidence or studies on the subject?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

“No Kings Day” protest in New York City resulting in thousands of anti-Trump & anti-Musk demonstrators — too many for NYPD to corral on the sidewalk or enforce against.

Early in Trump's first term, the separation of families at the border was enough to get me off the couch and into the protest march. If you try to mess with the children, I'm going to stop you.

America does NOT like what Trump is doing.

How about this? If you voted for Trump, then were fired by Trump, you have no standing to sue the Govt. He told us what he was going to do!

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Make that "the Members of Govt" and I'm with you. Roughly 300 elected Democratics in DC; we could spare 2 per State Capitol, to swell the crowds and attract the TV cameras. At some point we may want to bar Musk & kiddies from Government building, and that's when we will have to fill the DC jail.

Things like this make it hard for me to justify paying for the NYT every month. I didn't really need the 5 high-brows to tell me the piece was bullshit, but it's nice to see it in print.

I will keep saying it. @maddow.msnbc.com is a true necessity in these times. She tells the truth and INSPIRES with stories that are inspirational about PUSHBACK. Thank you Rachel--keep it up. it's what I need, that's for sure.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

I could be wrong, but this perception might accrue from the association with Elizabeth Warren.

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is a consistent pattern: they are doing everything possible to ignore Congressional intent and the plain meaning of the laws through loopholes and bad-faith interpretations of the law. The net effect is to de facto break the law.
