Is it already over? Are we already moving inevitably towards this authoritarian broligarchy nightmare? With Kash Patel confirmed to lead the FBI, Trump now has his police force. They can now round up all the dissenters and shut down all opposition media. 1930’s Germany is here, y’all.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans. A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer. Duh

Trump has convinced half the country that: Canada & Mexico are our enemies, and Russia & China are our friends. We can’t trust our own elections. Tariffs are cool, and it’s good to pay more for cars, gas, & food. Black people & transgender people aren’t capable of being air traffic controllers.

Donald Trump is corrupt, incompetent, and stupid. And those are his best qualities.

I’ve seen enough: Congress needs to entirely repeal the President’s unilateral authority to raise tariffs without congressional approval. It served a purpose at one time, but that was back when we managed to elect adults. Time to childproof the presidency.

The result of the orange felon’s incoming vindictive tariffs. The economy is fucked.

Trump and the GOP just increased the cost of prescription drugs. They're going to try to kill the Affordable Care Act next.

Uh oh. Donald Trump’s inauguration had 24.6 million viewers on average. That’s 27% fewer than the 33.8 million who watched Joe Biden’s in 2020.

More than 15,000 doctors across the country signed an open letter urging senators to reject the nomination of RFK Jr. for HHS: “RFK Jr. has a well-documented history of spreading dangerous disinformation...His appointment is a direct threat to the safety of our patients and the public at large"

Tomorrow’s hearing with Pete Hegseth is a HUGE deal. I believe every American should care deeply about the person who holds the lives of our men and women in uniform in their hands. Here’s 10 questions we need answers to – and yes, I'm going to be pretty damn blunt: 🧵

FACT: All together, the 13 billionaires tapped for the Trump administration are worth at least $383 billion – higher than the GDP of 172 countries. Why any working person in America would ever think Trump or his administration is looking out for your interests is a mystery to us. #ResistTrump

This is a symbolic victory, but it’s a real warning sign that there are four solid Supreme Court votes to allow Trump to do anything at all. America’s democracy hangs by the thin thread of Roberts and Coney Barrett’s feelings in any given case.

They aren’t going to find $2T in waste. They aren’t going to lower grocery prices. They aren’t going to fix immigration. They are however going to give themselves trillions in tax breaks, and pay for them by cutting Social Security and Medicare.

I don't even have anything insightful to say today. I still can't believe he won after his actions 4 years ago today.

He’s the only candidate for president in American history who refused to accept the will of the people. He committed crimes trying to overthrow the election. He incited a violent attempt to overthrow the election. A people that truly cared about democracy would’ve made him a pariah. Shame on us.

If up to RFK Jr., we will never have this success again. Thank you, Trump voters.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Strongly agree. Mika and Joe really sold out America with their trip to kiss Trump’s ring. ABC decided to one up them but they aren’t off the hook yet
