Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around. International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

This is brilliant. Sound up!

Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards held a town hall in Asheville, North Carolina. Constituents raged at the congressman about the Trump administration — DOGE, mass firings, tariffs, Social Security, and more. For about an hour and a half, an audience of about 300 constituents raged at…

Chuck Schumer has a book tour starting this week. It would be a damn shame if people showed up to let him know how they feel about his capitulation on the short-term spending bill passed by the Senate Friday afternoon. @schumer.senate.gov

The Left: We need our own Joe Rogan and liberal podcasts and shows Me: Here are a bunch of great shows including mine that could really use your support. The Left: ….yeah but we really need our own “Joe Rogan.”

This is a deeply unwell person who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. The demonstrations against Musk and at Tesla showrooms and elsewhere are acts of patriotism. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

FYI. I go off on an EPIC Rant on the anniversary of America joining the Axis of Evil Autocrats. Beware. It’s is F-Bombs Away on Trump, MAGA & those who betrayed their oath.

Wes Moore: "The performative politics -- people are done. They are exhausted by it. They just want to see results. And that's exactly what we're trying to provide here in the state of Maryland."

these fuckers aren't getting a dime from me ever again. honestly. all my money is going to mutual aid, abortion funds, etc. This is cowardice. This is white folks expecting Black folks to be their shields. This is white women wearing pink jackets performing activism while a Black man gets hauled off

In this new episode of #BoomLawyered, @angryblacklady.bsky.social and @hegemommy.bsky.social get into the conservative legal movement's attempts to roll back Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act—and how it could amount to government-sponsored eugenics. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/03/06/r...

You’ve allowed yourself to be fooled by a campaign that is nothing but a wedge issue by bad actors. You’re falling for a grift. And maybe don’t call trans people locusts. You can block me now. www.thepinknews.com/2025/01/15/h...

In case you missed it, Dr. Christina Greer and I discuss Trump supporters who lost their jobs and now regret their votes. Any sympathy? youtu.be/tYUDFzY9xm8

I will not be watching the State of the Union tomorrow. I encourage everyone to tune into a 24-hour live stream of counter-programming, STATE OF THE PEOPLE. I’ll be on at 6PM EST on March 4 with @reeciecolbert.bsky.social. REGISTER HERE → stateofthepeople.media

Instead of supporting big media that bows to scumbag Trump and will be broadcasting his lies, turn it off. Let's all pop in to watch the 24 Hour State of the People starting at midnight. If you don't know @claycane.bsky.social or @reeciecolbert.bsky.social yet — well, it's about time you find out!

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Britt Boril said she deliberately misgendered the senator: “Disrespect was the message.”

Dan Bongino rose through the ranks of right-wing media thanks to his unflinching loyalty to Donald Trump and willingness to push baseless conspiracies—including about the FBI.

Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning singer and pianist whose intimate vocal and musical style on “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and other hits made her one of the top recording artists of the 1970s, died Monday. She was 88.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out with kindness and encouragement, both personally and in these social media streets. So very proud of The Reidout @joy.msnbc.com team, who are truly family, and all of our supporters & friends. See you tomorrow night at 7, one more time ‼️

Trump Voter: Musk keeps saying, well, I found $1 billion of waste here. In social security, there’s hundreds and hundreds of people collecting it that are between 100 years old and 150. Can you believe any of that crap? He can't substantiate it. You can't believe it. So that's a trust issue.

At a London bus stop. The Brits are telling it like it is.

In case it wasn’t clear before, the U.S. is officially aligned with Russia

TRUMP: We will be a merit based society.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Blaming mayors for a lack of #deportations is nonsense. #Deportation is a federal job, not a city responsibility. No funding, no authority—just political scapegoating. If mass deportations aren’t happening, look at Congress, DHS, ICE, and USCIS, not City Hall. #Immigration

Don’t be surprised if U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes strikes down the ban transgender troops. The administration came to court utterly unprepared for a serious discussion.

More to come from the weekend but get into this black velvet trumpet gown that helped me bring vintage Black Hollywood to life. I was trying to give you Hazel Scott and Dinah Washington for Black History Month.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

He nails it.

Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Republicans confirmed Kash Patel to lead the FBI in a close, 51-49 vote. He’s a zealot who claimed the FBI was behind the Jan 6 insurrection. His book Government Gangsters detailed his “Enemies List” of Trump critics. He is a politcal operative who will weaponize the Bureau. This is a dark day.

Dark Pence is back.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
