Trump has pledged to restore Confederate names to military bases, even though it would violate a statute passed by Congress. These names belong to traitors who led a rebellion against America. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Trump paused immigration raids on restaurants, hotels, and agricultural workers. It couldn't be for this reason since I'll bet ICE was told to avoid raids on Trump properties www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

Maddow: I think we both have the same instinct: quote the ruling, quote the deposition—show the document. The audience is smart and capable of taking in primary source material. We can give it to them straight and then talk about it from there—based on this kind of non-pasteurized document
