Do you think that Trump just asks himself—who is the most corrupt, ignorant, incompetent lunatic I can nominate to a position and that’s how he decides who to nominate?

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

What do you bet that totally corrupt Clarence Thomas is reproaching himself right now: "Wait, I sold my soul for a $400,000 recreational vehicle when I could have held out for a $400,000,000 PLANE???"

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

If we were conquered and under hostile occupation, what would the government do differently? Would an occupation government that wanted to crush the United States as a vibrant, prosperous country with influence around the world do anything differently?

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Every day, I am outraged at both spineless Republicans and The Supreme Court. If Republicans had done their job after the insurrection, we wouldn’t be here. If the MAGA court had barred Trump on the basis of insurrection, and if they hadn’t granted anti-constitutional immunity, wouldn’t be here.

@maddow.msnbc.com I don’t know if anyone else does this, or thinks it’s helpful-recently I’ve started to contact The Supreme Court, to call out hypocrisy, remind them of their oath to uphold The Constitution, etc. Maybe we should all contact them?

Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel because he wants to show Republicans that he is the boss. That he can strip them of their dignity by making them support terrible nominees. Senate Republicans may be in the majority, but Trump controls them. That is the story.

It’s so strange that Republicans scream about violent crimes, until Trump pardons violent criminals—and suddenly, crickets.
