We are literally being led by the dumbest people alive

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

Doug Jones reading this live just now was a wake-up call. Niemöller’s words aren’t just history—they’re a mirror. If we keep “shaking our heads” without action, we’ll find there’s no one left to stand with us. Speak up. Get involved. Before it’s too late. @dougjones.bsky.social

you, a rube: “i want my kid to grow up to be a doctor or an engineer or a teacher” lutnick, a genius: “to make america great again your child will make iphones that they will not be able to afford”

American economy tanks and trump heads off to Mar a Lago to play his usual golf game. His golf is costing us a fortune. His ignorance, greed, and lust for power is costing us dearly in many many ways. #impeach

Democrats "may find themselves quickly back in business if they can simply swallow their pride and follow Bernie’s lead."

Walter Clayton Jr. sending the #Gators to the Final Four ... First 14:36 -- 0/5 3PT, 17 points Last 5:24 -- 3/5 3PT, 13 points

I haven't heard @maddow.msnbc.com or others talk about this and future generations of our allies youngsters growing up to not trust or respect the U.S.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

They don’t get it. None of the nominally powerful institutions in this country get it.

Color me not shocked: "Raw Ricci," social media influencer & Fox News guest Ricci Wynne, who built his rep depicting San Francisco as a fentanyl drenched cesspool, is being held for molesting underaged teenage girls. No doubt he rises to the level of a presidential pardon from the Rapist-in-Chief

TRUMP: “I believe Putin wants peace. I think he would tell me if he didn’t. I trust him on this.” Putin & Russia are currently trying to obliterate Odesa. (📸 EuromaidanPR)

Keep this in mind, if you feel complacent because you think you're "safe." No one is safe in a world where the only law is one man's whim. But you didn't commit a crime? But you're an American citizen? Doesn't matter if there's no process in which to make your case.

Other people are still at "is it a constitutional crisis yet?" and I'm at "the crisis was several exits ago, the car has crashed, we're now just seeing how many cars end up in the pileup and how high the casualty count is" or "the house is actively burning down, the question is what's left after."

They called him "El Hombre” — he moved cocaine by the ton. Last year, Columbian officers nabbed him after U.S. law enforcement taught them advanced skills on tracking fugitives. Now that program is shut down. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

FYI, @senatedemocrats.bsky.social, don't send me another effing fundraising text or email until you find your courage, your commitment to America, and a new leader. #FuckChuck

@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

Is MSNBC having trouble selling ads or is it something else. They run the same promos over and over

It’s nuts to waste a pardon on restoring the right to have a gun to someone who battered his girlfriend, just because he’s a Hollywood name. It’s government by grift. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/u...

Yes. It’s so toxic that lying - in a fantastical and easily disprovable way - carries no moral opprobrium. When did this become ok? It’s one of the reasons we’re so exhausted.

DOJ is removing experienced, non-political career lawyers in key positions. Yesterday was ethics. Today, it’s national security. This does not bode well for good government or public safety.

Bravo, monsour! "Jester high on ketamine* 🎯 We need more democratic leadership speaking up and telling it like it is. We have a handful of them in Congress, but we need ALL OF THEM! I was hoping to see at least a few get dragged out with Rep. Al Green... Speak up for your constitutes!

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

smart! one of better communicators

Let this sink in.

Dude says we have to take care of our law enforcement FUCK YOU!!! YOU ASSHOLE YOU PARDONED OUR ATTACKERS

I was hoping with each lie another Democrat would cause a ruckus and get escorted out.

We cannot allow the indefensible actions of our government to eclipse our overwhelming solidarity with the Ukrainian people. sign.moveon.org/petitions/to...

Atlanta Fed forecasts a -2.8% GDP growth for this quarter. 4 weeks ago it was +3.9%. Trump owns this. bit.ly/3Ddsxim

Holy shit! The White House really is an arm of the Kremlin, and Trump is Putin’s asset. 🚨 The Kremlin praised the U.S. for changing its foreign policy to align with Moscow.

NEW: This is a powerhouse summit gathered in London. Starmer has confirmed UK & France are now leading the peace process, with Ukraine. Trump has disqualified himself & the US. UK has also agreed to use profits from seized Russian assets to fund Ukraine 👏 Leaders attending: 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇨🇦🇪🇸🇵🇱🇩🇰🇳🇴🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇱🇨🇿🇷🇴🇹🇷🇪🇺

Alexander Vindman: Lindsey Graham is an absolute coward. Trump didn’t sound strong—he was attacking an ally when he didn’t need to. All Zelenskyy said was that Trump couldn’t trust Putin. And JD Vance—he looked like an absolute clown. I don’t understand why Trump let Vance blow up his deal.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

Congressional Republicans, egged on by Elon Musk and other top allies of President Trump, are escalating calls to remove federal judges who stand in the way of administration efforts to overhaul the government.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

This is evil. Pure evil.

Shouldn't lawyers (many Congressman) that lie to the public and misrepresent facts, or violate their oath to The Constitution be disbarred. It has always been that way.

Curious what MSNBC will look like going forward.

We are literally making military preparedness/readiness threats against our erstwhile ally Ukraine to pressure them into signing a deal to turn over their mineral wealth to us in exchange for nothing. Russia wants their land/sovereignty. We want their rare earths. Not much difference now.

Trump replaced the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Brown Jr., a 4-star fighter pilot with John D. Caine, a retired 3-star Air Force general who put on a MAGA hat, despite military protocol prohibiting it. I asked ChatGPT who was more qualified …
