Democrats Invite Fired Federal Workers to Trump’s Congressional Address www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Dark times, but support Rachel Maddow as she covers Trump's Congressional address tonight. This is a moment. The people he's randomly fired are showing up. REMEMBER He was impeached for trying to bribe Zelensky to frame Biden. Carville's right, he can't be this nefarious and not go down.

TONIGHT: Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com and team break down President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress and its impact at home and abroad. Watch special coverage tonight at 8pm ET on @msnbc.com

NY Times article by Manohla Dargis : Women Watching Women.. Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore: "the unclothed bodies of their famous stars are markers of actorly seriousness and of authenticity.." Really? Women view Demi Moore nude in "The Substance" and twitch at the LACK of authenticity- plastic.

Watched most of the 2025 best picture nominations. Anora stood out. I was thrilled with what I experienced as acting on a new level. I hadn't felt that exhilaration since 1997, watching LA Confidential.

‘Anora’ wins best picture, and four other big moments from the 97th Oscars www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

I painted this 4'x4' oil on mylar portrait of my friend Paulette Carrington in 2018.

5'x4' reverse glass painting of Sharon Wiggoins, with this video of her voice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZZR... Paulette Carrington is standing next to it when exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2017. Paaulette was released after 40 years of prison as a juvenile lifer in Pennsylvania.

BREAKING: Judge orders Trump admin to rescind memo directing mass firing of federal workers www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

The wildly unqualified are evaluating who is qualified in government. To quote Peter Baker, this is "an improvisation."

“Unlike Nixon, who moved China toward our corner, at least for 30 years, Trump is moving America toward Russia’s corner, while betraying an ally and breaking the Atlantic alliance.” This U.N. vote, and this presidency, will haunt us for decades. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/o...

You first.

So... many smart Federal employees deleted Musk's request for work accountability. They thought it was a phishing attempt. It really was.

An apt answer to Elon's demand that people justify their work activity.

Thank you SO MUCH to the amazing @joy.msnbc.com for shouting out my Substack today. You will be DEARLY missed. I’ll be following you wherever you go!

Though the loss of the ReidOut is a disturbing tragedy, I know that Ms. Joy is going to continue to bring truth to the fight and I look forward to being with her in the battles to come. Love you my sister.

Joy on our crisis of democracy: "Tonight on our final ReidOut, we’re going to talk about what people are actually doing to resist this and get some great advice from some of our favorite friends on what more we can do."

February 25, 2025, Trump votes at the United Nations against Ukraine--- with Russia, North Korea, and their ilk. This is a presidential first. Churchill and Roosevelt and my WWII Father would find this to be unimaginable. But here we are.

Macron politely interrupts our uninformed president as Trump lies about Europe's funding of Ukraine. After Macron corrects him, Trump repeats the same lie.

Listen to "The Headlines," which brings you the biggest stories of the day from the New York Times reporters who are covering them, all in about five minutes.

Let me remind you that our government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. Musk is supposed to be working for you and me and every other American. He’s not. He should be fired. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/fire-the-muskrat-now

After Trump illegally froze $1.2 billion in federal funds for PA, Governor Shapiro sued. I met with the Governor last week and alerted the Appropriations Committee of our concerns. Now, every dollar is accessible. Democrats will continue to fight Trump & Musk's unlawful actions.

Firing Joy Reid? Really MSNBC?

Keith Olbermann on MSNBC dropping Joy Reid: “MSNBC fired Joy Reid, and yes it is racist and maybe worse. Yes, it is designed to keep out people who might think differently.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights. Or providing security for money. It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies. Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

Is Rahm the Answer? And Musk’s German Muse substack.com/home/post/p-...

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co Dan Goldman is a Democratic star.

Hypocrisy and shamelessness are features, not bugs, for the GOP. But if they are not going to stand up for congressional power and the Constitution while in control, then we Democrats are ready to fight the illegal Trump/Musk power grab.

Leave X and Facebook. empower Bluesky.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

"Key to Trump's success: Knack for dogged lying" "Unfettered by the truth, he tries to make his reality America's" Great piece by Peter Baker on the front page of today's Sunday NY Times. Unfortunately, we live in a country with unfettered fake news.

In the first month since Trump returned to power, he has demonstrated once again a brazen willingness to advance distortions, conspiracy theories and outright lies to justify major policy decisions. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

This is why we have debt. It’s tax cuts for the wealthy not programs for tbe poor. There are more sources and you can find them easily online. www.americanprogress.org/article/tax-...

The first ever Biden vs. Trump PRICE CHECK! President Donald J. Trump promised he would start to get prices down on day one of his presidency. This is a quick list of some common grocery items.

Germany votes today after JD Vance called for an end to the brandmauer, the firewall that holds off the far right. Reupping this piece explaining Elon Musk’s claim far right AfP is Germany’s future. Apparently, interfering in our election wasn’t enough for him joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...

Now let's watch Trump attempt to "reform" the Postal Service. Terrifying.

If you want to keep track of some of investigative reporting we at The NYT are doing--abt Trump, Musk, AG Bondi, EPA, Interior, etc, you can follow this account. Our coverage is not perfect. Nothing is. But we are digging every day to bring transparency/accountability www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/u...

Y'all know what Kendrick said two weeks ago, they can rig the game but they can't fake influence.

Props to Pence for speaking out I guess, but if you ever catch me calling a guy that tried to kill me “Mr. President,” just take me out back and put me down like old yeller

The Washington Post rejected an ad buy calling for Donald Trump to “Fire Elon Musk.” The reason? The paper won't say. "We asked why and they said they couldn't give us a reason," the head of one of the groups attempting to run the ad told me. More in Status: www.status.news/p/washington...
