There were two near-miss airplane incidents yesterday. On top of the one at Chicago Midway, an American Airlines flight was forced to abort its landing to avoid hitting another plane at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C. Donald Trump & that guy from The Real World are making us less safe.

I think we need to hear the stories of as many federal employees who have been laid off, as possible. Putting a face to the cruelty is essential.

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

#NY21 is one of the poorest districts in NY, dependent on Medicaid, which Elise Stefanik & her GOP colleagues are trying to gut. Looks like she wants killing poor people & kicking our elderly out of nursing homes to be her final legacy in the House.

Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to Trump in the span of an hour and a half today in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term. The rulings are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Maddow: That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programing changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

1. It’s Trump’s not Trumps’. 2. U.S. Attorneys are not the president’s lawyers. They are the government’s lawyers and therefore in the U.S. the people’s lawyers. 3. Ed Martin is fully on board with transforming a government of, by, and for the people into a government of, by, and for Donald Trump.
