Reporter: Migrants who were in Guantanamo Bay say they were shackled and placed in cages and say they were not treated as human beings. Any response to those conditions? Leavitt: It’s a promise the President campaigned on

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

Fraud, waste, and abuse just means resources going to people they don't like. That's it.

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points. They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make. I have offered to go on their show to talk. I’m offering again now. Talk to a freaking trans person.

21 USDS turned DOGE employees resign en masse, refusing to "compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services." apnews.com/article/doge...

I respectfully disagree with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. I think that he and 98% of Democrats do need more steel in their spines. We need more AOCs, Jasmine Crocketts, Chris Murphys, Bernies, and Jamie Raskins. If you and Schumer continue to fail to meet the moment, please step aside.

Nobody should listen to James Carville and nobody would if cable TV didn't keep booking him because he's "colorful."

If you’re an elected representative and need a SWAT team at your town hall, you’re doing something wrong.

As Joy Reid signs off one last time tonight, I’m heartbroken that my Soror and friend will no longer hold this platform to educate, inform, and advocate.  Joy is a true trailblazer and giant of journalism, and I can’t wait to see her succeed in her next chapter. Thank you Joy!

@msnbc.com cancelling hosts of color. I'm sure this must be some coincidence. Surely.

Joy, I remember how hard you worked to get to host your own show. You deserved it, every second of it. @msnbc.com clearly capitulated in advance because the right hates the truth. They made you the "angry black woman" trope. Never stop being you, speaking truth to power. You are an inspiration.

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud "With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Really good piece. Other Democrats in power need to look at what AOC is doing right now and follow her example. One of the worst and most frightening aspects of this moment is seeing how many Dems in leadership roles seem resigned to defeat.
