Tonight! Senator Chris Van Hollen will be Rachel’s guest live from El Salvador. 9pmET on MSNBC

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

might be wrong, but it appears to me that the US is about to enter the worst financial & economic crisis since 1929. Starting with extreme valuations of US stocks & $. Moving to total chaos, uncertainty, lies & irresponsibility with high & harmful tariffs as main policy.

there was a ground stop at nashville airport for an hour yesterday for “staffing issues,” something i have also never encountered, even as much as i fly

This is a huge story that hasn’t bubbled up yet

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero. trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

“Christian Afghanis who sought asylum from persecution by the Taliban in the United States are being told they must leave immediately or be deported. The news came in an email to a group of migrants living legally in north Raleigh.” ⚓️

Tomi Lahren: "Trump has managed to isolate China from the rest of the world." BTC: "There's reporting now that Japan & South Korea are negotiating trade deals with China... the EU is eliminating Chinese EV tariffs. I'm concerned you're not familiar with which country is being isolated."

“The leader I most admire is Vladimir Putin”. Nigel Farage.

JUDGE BOASBERG: “.. The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders. .. To permit such officials to freely ‘annul the judgments of the courts ..’ would make ‘a solemn mockery’ of ‘the constitution itself.’” 🇺🇸 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is a disgrace.

Three cases of an extremely rare and fatal brain disease have appeared in a single Oregon county, defying statistical probability for an illness that typically affects just one or two people per million worldwide.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

IANAL, but from a PR perspective, this part of the order seems important: he'll require the administration to go on record as to who is actually making decisions. While the admin will likely try to use some small fish as scapegoats, I'm guessing the small fish won't like being thrown under the bus

NEW: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for their decision not to turn the planes around on March 15. He orders them either to fix their mistake or identify who made those decisions (presumably for further sanctions).

You see the similarities between this and, say, Trump's first impeachment, which was over him trying to get sketch characters in Ukraine to dig up phony dirt on the Bidens. It's just his entire way of doing everything.

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 15, 2025 ~ How f&%ked? "Paper receipts from major retailers in the US are so laden with bisphenol S that holding one for 10 seconds can cause the skin to absorb enough of the highly toxic chemical to violate California’s safety threshold..."

Trump is punishing law firms that had cases against him or his allies including the legal team that represented Dominion Voting Systems. Fox News paid Dominion $787.5 million in a defamation settlement for knowingly promoting false stories about the 2020 election.

Trump admin has appointed a key member of DOGE as the acting head of foreign assistance at the State Department, according to a senior U.S. official and an internal email seen by Reuters.

Sat down for a long chat with Senator Jon Tester and Maritsa Georgiou for their new @groundedpodcast.bsky.social pod. Think of this as a half hour primer on everything that's going on with tariffs, the economy, and America's position in the world. (Starts at 14:05.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5tm...

WATCH: Elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park react to Monday's 5.2 magnitude earthquake that shook San Diego County. The elephants formed an "alert circle" meant to protect the young and the entire herd from any threats, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

Looks on the faces of Ohio State players & coach Day when JD Vance broke their national championship trophy

Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

Of course they need to cut funding the poorest…
