Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that federal authorities may once again seek reporters’ phone records and compel their testimony in leak investigations, reversing a policy that was designed to protect journalists from intrusive government efforts to identify and prosecute sources.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the overnight attack on Kyiv by Russia was 'one of the most outrageous.'

Plus de 100.000 Afghans, pour plus de la moitié des enfants, ont quitté le Pakistan qui a lancé il y a trois semaines une campagne d'expulsion massive visant des migrants parfois nés sur son sol ou y résidant depuis des décennies. Le reportage : ➡️ u.afp.com/SSvU

It's sickening to see that the Manafort/Russian operative plan is "back on the table as official U.S. policy." The free world is betrayed IN OUR NAME!

Grandpa Stupid is way too dumb to get any real legislation passed through Congress so he signs meaningless Executive Orders on TV all day like an elderly weakling because he is an imbecile. 🤷 🍊 💩

BOOM. @mrjoncryer.bsky.social absolutely nails it. 👏👏

if you "instinctively like" pete hegseth, either your ability to judge character is catastrophically bad or your personal character is catastrophically bad, or both

Pete Hegseth’s (former) friend and colleague—not some political rival—just wrote that Trump should fire him. When even the people who used to back you say you’re unfit, it’s not just chaos. It’s failure. And it's putting lives at risk. MORE: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 🥲

The thought crossed my mind…🤣

If DOGE is really about better systems, it makes zero sense to eliminate a tax filing system that saves Americans time and money. Without Direct File, working families struggling to pay bills will now face either high tax fees or complex paperwork which makes tax filing more expensive to administer.

Everyone involved in this should face a tribunal.

Of course I misspoke and said Tren De Aragua when I should have said MS-13. I'll do that occasionally but always correct it. Thank you.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!

REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence? BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence? BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

If this trolling drives the us economy into a ditch it will be an excellent metaphor

The entire POINT is to cultivate an obedient press and docile population that accepts accusations without pushback. The fact that the administration’s accusations are increasingly overtly ass-damp is a feature, not bug.

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
