Don’t say D.E.I. Say Diversity Equity and Inclusion If anyone is against this, I’d like to know why.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s program was essential viewing tonight, Feb 11. Well done Lawrence and Nicholas Kristof. You hit the nail on the head of what is wrong. Trump and Musk do not know what they are doing! And they don’t care!

Martha radditz interviewing Mike Turnerwas pathetic. He has turned himself into a pretzel to defend Musk/Trump.

Are there any Republicans out there who regret voting for Trump?

Stop calling Elon Musk a genius! One can be smart in one area and completely inept at other important aspects.

@sbg1.bsky.social Susan Glasser, excellent tonight on Steph Rule 11th hour tonight. Thank you for your hard work and passion for the truth.

@kenmartin.bsky.social You were a breath of fresh air on Maddie tonight. Let the Democrats appeal to all!

This appears to be a mad conspiracy like the one against FEMA in natural disasters.⬇️ If Musk-Trump follow through on this, countless people around the world will needlessly die. It is that simple. First they came for the ... [you know the rest.]

@velshi.bsky.social Thank you for your excellent Saturday morning show. I wish you could be the spokesman for the opposition to Trump. You are true communicator!

@crampell.bsky.social thank you for your forceful discussion with Scott Jennings today. He did not have a leg to stand on.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris was so good on Colbert. Thank you for your passion, intelligence, and ability to articulate our current moment. Pay attention friends!

@cnn.com Why in the world would you give Enrique Tarrio a platform to make nice with Laura Coates? This damages CNN terribly. Why? Ratings? What’s the public good in validating Tarrio’s mild mannered lies?

Guys, I don’t think he’s going to be helpful to the Palestinian people.

Trump cannot end born or naturalized citizenship with a Sharpie can he? This cannot happen!

Journalists! Why was the FBI background check on Hegseth so minimal? Who ordered this?

Why did the FBI not investigate alleged sexual assaults, non-disclosure payoffs, and drunkenness of Pete Hegseth? Why did they they settle for a meeting with Hegseth’s PR person? These are high stakes appointments?

Really, Joni Ernst? You support Pete Hegseth? Really? We can do better. This is a serious position and you have buckled. Why?

Dana Bash, please use the simple word “lie” when describing an outright lie; don’t use “untrue statement”.

Thank you SHELDON WHITEHOUSE for encouraging Democrats to appoint a lead offensive strategist for the Democratic Party! That’s what we need!

Senator Edward Markey is hitting it out of the park on Lawrence O’Donnell tonight about RFK’s unserious and unqualified bid to be head of Health & Human Services. Big kudos to Sen. Markey for standing up for science.

Starting a trade war with our immediate neighbors, Canada and Mexico, seems tone deaf and self defeating to me. Trump is missing the brain cells that control the natural urge to listen and cooperate with others. We are all his victims now.

Senator Hagerty: the American people DO care who does background checks on cabinet appointments. Come on. Character matters.

I left X a long time ago. Have been on Threads. Am also trying Bluesky. I hope on Bluesky that people don't waste our time posting about "what's your favorite album, say you lived in Vancouver without saying you lived in Vancouver"....
