Trump just fired the country's senior military officer: Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot who became only the second African American to hold the chairman's job.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Raskin: "So who is leading DOGE? Is it the young man who calls himself Big Balls? Is it the racist on the night crew who's proud of the fact he was a racist before all of his friends were racist, and says we should legitimize Indian hate?"

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

In a new message to FBI staff, Kash Patel said he will "always have your backs." But Patel's first moments sent the opposite message: All support personnel who worked in the FBI director's office were told to pack their desks and leave before Patel arrived. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Don't hold back now.

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

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.

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump admin has not fully complied with his court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali: "To the extent Defendants have continued the blanket suspension, they are ordered to immediately cease it."

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

In Roswell, Georgia, an overflow crowd packed into a town hall forum for GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, barraging him with pointed questions about DOGE. One accused McCormick of 'doing us a disservice' for supporting DOGE. This is a district Trump just carried by 22 points. www.ajc.com/politics/mcc...

The Associated Press says it has filed a lawsuit against three Trump admin officials following the decision by the White House to repeatedly deny its journalists access to presidential events.

There’s something happening in this country.

ACTION NEEDED ⬇️ Call Speaker Mike Johnson now and tell him HELL NO to dismantling the Postal Service. #FightLikeHell

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has invited Elon Musk to testify at an informal hearing on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau next week. "Musk has said that he is trying to kill the agency — he should have the courage to show up in public and answer questions." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is absolutely disgusting.

Breaking WaPo: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

It didn’t end well for the last king to try to rule America. Just sayin’.

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

No lie detected.

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

You had it right the first time.

"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."

A federal judge has ordered spy agencies to put on hold the firing of 11 CIA and other intelligence officers who had been told to resign or face imminent dismissal because of their temporary assignments working on diversity, equity, inclusion and access programs.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

These layoffs will start hitting home for everyone soon. This is despicable. My brother Michael Guttenberg died because of his cancer from serving America at the WTC on 9/11. I personally know Anthony Gardner and worked with him on The Glade at the memorial. His work for others has been heroic.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

BREAKING: At least 8 injured after Delta plane crash landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport - CP24

🚨 PLANE CRASH IN GEORGIA Two people are dead after a small aircraft took a fatal plunge from the sky roughly 20 minutes after takeoff from Georgia's Covington Municipal Airport on Saturday night. The cause of the crash will be investigated.

This is what Americans voted for..some out of hate,some of willful ignorance(you were told), some of religious bias, some of ignorance, some to spite Biden (who wasn't on the ticket), some for racist reasons, some to, foolishly, protest Gaza and some by deliberately staying home. YOU.VOTED.FOR.THIS

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Trump just fired hundreds of employees with the FAA — weeks after the fatal D.C. crash exposed agency understaffing. The union repping the employees called the firings a "hastily made decision" that would increase the workload of a workforce already stretched thin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

An important point to keep in mind.

This is precisely what Trump is doing ... and it's intentional. He wants to be a dictator like his boss Putin. This is a coup and he's winning. The question is ... what are you going to do about it? #donthefelon #donthecon #musksminion #putinspuppet

NYC Mayor Eric Adams met Sunday with three to four deputy mayors who have expressed their intention to resign, per NBC4

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.
