A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

At what point are we allowed to stop saying, "We're slowly turning into 'Idiocracy,'" and just admit we're already there?

I keep thinking about Trump saying that he needed the kind of generals that Hitler had.

He nails it.

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. “Without America?” The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?”

This is their version of the final solution #TheWeekendmsnbc

200 million dollars of waste.

Jack Posobiec, a prominent influencer, has a long history of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist content. He traveled to Ukraine with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week.

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Excellent homework assignment, @drjasonjohnson.bsky.social ! Yes, we need to email our state reps, too & our state governors, as well as our reps in Congress #TheWeekendmsnbc

its amazing the way conservative arguments fall completely apart in court when there are actually penalties for lying

It’s official. Nothing terrifies or angers me more than anyone who does not understand how dangerous our government just became. Dangerous to its own citizens. This shit is real. It is not a joke. Mark my words.

Dang! Yeah. Why do we always fall for the golden calf bit? #TheWeekendmsnbc

A lot of people in this country have decided that greed & selfishness are virtues, they don't owe a thing to anyone else. We need to find every day ways to remind people that greed & selfishness are Anti-American, anti-human vices #TheWeekendmsnbc @esglaude.bsky.social

“I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.” -James Baldwin

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Intolerable. The national parks belong to the people. Once you’ve ruined them, mined them, and sold them for profit, they’re never coming back.

Yeah, but @michaelsteele.bsky.social knows what he's talking about. He could impart a few pearls of wisdom about intra-party politics, too @symonedsanders.bsky.social @aliciamenendez.bsky.social #TheWeekendmsnbc

So smart to go to Texas! And don't forget GA & Southern states with worn out people starting to understand Republicans don't serve them. Offer people real, life altering solutions that the party follows through on legislatively.. that the party follows through on.. #TheWeekendmsnbc

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

The Homeland Security secretary said tonight that Trump told her to film ads that “thank me for closing the border.” DHS has budgeted up to $200 million for its anti-immigration ad campaign. w/ @swin24.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Right? #TheWeekendmsnbc

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I've said often, based on history, that there's no reasonable expectation most people will be courageous in the face of fascism. Bravery is rare. It's valued for a reason: Most people aren't cut out for it, for reasons good and bad. But man, you'd still sorta hope the ABA woulda held the line.

Let's start the vetting process by making Mr. Shades at Night Musk & his lil' interns pee in a cup to keep their jobs #TheWeekendmsnbc

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

Extortion, pure and simple.

All those FBI agents that remain should keep a close eye on the boss man. Those people have skills #TheWeekendmsnbc
