Noooo! @msnbc.com, don’t mess this up. The Weekend trio is 🔥—they keep it real & that’s what folks are looking for right now, but so does Joy Reid. She brings facts, truth & a perspective we can count on. We need that now more than ever. Real talk: replace Morning Joe instead. Viewers are over it.

It’s the last day of this congressional recess, but it’s not too late to help turn up the pressure on your representative to stop the Trump-Musk coup. We’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships): indivisible.org/muskorus

Joy Reid’s evening news show on MSNBC is reportedly being canceled in a major shake-up

“The CFPB is there to make sure that Elon's new project can't scam you or steal your sensitive personal data...This is like a bank robber trying to fire the cops, and turn off the alarms just before he strolls into the lobby.” US Sen. Elizabeth Warren More here:

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

This.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Bernie Sanders on the secret endgame of DOGE: “They want to make the case to the American people that the whole government stinks—Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid— all of these programs that help you. They're terrible, and the way forward is to privatize them.”

Trump is projecting far more power than he actually has. The executive orders makes it seem as if he has complete control, but much of it is smoke and mirrors, PR for his base. An authoritarian only wins if we let them win. Don’t make his job easy by making us believe we’re already defeated.

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

Don't let the overwhelm win! www.yesmagazine.org/democracy/20... @yesmedia.bsky.social for solutions

“Every American can do something—show up, walk out, call, sign up, demonstrate engagement.” The Musk-Trump axis thrives on chaos and intimidation, but resistance is growing. Thousands protested, DOJ lawyers resigned & NYC officials walked out. Jen Rubin explains.

This is correct.

When it comes to health care, Washington state will be guided by doctors and other health care providers, not politicians in D.C. That’s why we’ll continue to defend your reproductive freedom.

We appreciate everyone who tuned in to yesterday’s Contrarians’ Day lineup. But we also want to recognize those who took to the streets for the aptly named ‘No Kings Day' protests. Across the nation, people rallied against unchecked power—take a look at the protests that unfolded.

VIDEO: Thousands protest Trump and Musk at “No Kings” protest at US Capitol.

Zelenskyy calls for the creation of a #EuropeanArmy: “We must build the armed forces of Europe, so that Europe’s future depends only on Europeans,” the creation of a unified European force outside of NATO comes after the US elected a Russian asset making it no longer reliable or to be counted on.

I believe that the next couple of weeks are going to define the future. If you are able to join a protest or a march please do. If you aren't then make phone calls and send emails to Congress. Let your voice be heard. Use it often and make it loud. Time is running out.

he's living his best life

Lawrence: Because of Musk and Trump, for the first time Social Security payments are not guaranteed

Happy No Kings Day to all.

full of soup

Thousands of protesters opposing President Trump’s agenda took to the streets on Monday across the U.S., derisively calling him a “king” on Presidents’ Day for his efforts to terminate thousands of federal workers and to fire prosecutors and independent watchdogs. nyti.ms/3CQA2LX

They are going to remove Social Security and privatize it so it can be a for-profit enterprise and of course Musk would is stealing your information for HIS data banks in Texas... jesus christ.

@maddow.msnbc.com Watch the first 26 minutes of tonight's Rachel Maddow, it's bone chilling.

New York’s protest against the Trump Administration on Presidents Day. More of this please! (Video by @vuralelibol.bsky.social)

theintercept.com/2025/02/17/e...

Powerful to see the protests across US cities under #NotMyPresidentDay and #Fifty501 . People on the streets standing up in freezing conditions on east coast and turning President's Day holiday into a manifestation. Protests across the 50 States

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it. Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort. All we need is three House Republicans to join us.

Green: I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

I can think of at least eight federal laws that have been broken by Musk and his goons over the last few days, and at least two provisions of the U.S. Constitution. They must be stopped. Some thoughts: robertreich.substack.com/p/how-the-mu...

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

No, we don't need investigations. We don't need Senators posting on social media. We need you to literally grind everything to a halt in the Senate & get in front of microphones on the Capitol steps calling for the fascists to resign & your GOP colleagues to vote with you to impeach & remove them.

because the president is in charge of anyone with the authority to arrest him
