For the moment, I’m going to keep reading the Post — the news pages, anyway, for the same reason I read the WSJ news pages. I will not blame anyone if they choose not to. In the meantime I will point out that NPR/PBS and your local stations only answer ultimately to the public. Support them.

Working families in the North Country are being crushed by rising costs, and politicians have failed us. We need real leadership in Washington. It's why I am running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik. Join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/gende...

Over half of Trump’s appointees to the Justice Department to receive hearings have been his personal lawyers. Bondi, Blanche, Sauer, Dhillon. He’s turning the DOJ into Trump LLP.

Ranking Member Jamie Raskin Issues Statement on Trump’s Retaliation Against Law Firm that Aided Jack Smith:

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I’ll be hosting the show live at 11:30am eastern today to welcome Dem. Rep. Jim Himes to the program. Then at noon eastern, I’ll be speaking with Steve Schmidt. Big show today. Lots to discuss. See you soon.

#Ohio Reps: • Troy Balderson #OH12 • Mike Carey #OH15 • Mike Turner #OH1 Voted to throw 3M Ohioans off their health care, tossing 6 in 10 nursing home patients to the curb while keeping their own gold level taxpayer funded health insurance program #OHpol #DontCutOurMedicaid

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

Are you participating in the 24-hour Economic Blackout Feb 28th? Well, are you?!

Deep gratitude to Joy Reid for her fearless voice and unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power. I joined The ReidOut earlier this month to discuss how the courts are checking the overreaches of the Trump administration—we will continue to fight back.

🚨NEW: White House Correspondents Association President Eugene Daniels slams Trump: “the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps." REPOST if you stand with Daniels against Trump!

Hey folks! I'm joining @maddow.msnbc.com in a few minutes to talk about the impact of all those town halls last week and what comes next. Please tune in! No green room pic tonight because I'm solo on the kids today, so they kindly let me take it from home!

If you've been complaining about DC Democrats not doing enough, give House Democrats some love today—every single one of them voted against the disgraceful Trump budget in the House. And give Hakeem Jeffries some love, too, because he kept his caucus together at a critical moment.

"There is no colleague who I've had more affection or more respect than Joy Reid. I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. It is not my call, but that is what I think." - #Maddow giving Joy Reid her flowers She then calls out MSNBC for their decisions. Boss move by Rachel.

My show, @velshimsnbc.bsky.social, exists because @joyannreid.bsky.social made that viable & important. Joy is a builder, a thought leader, a fierce warrior for justice, fairness and equity. Joy is a masterclass in holding power to account. I can’t wait to see what she ends up doing next. #myhero

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

Not going to lie—as a longtime @MSNBC.com viewer, I’m bitter about what’s happening at that network, and I won’t forget it. BUT I do appreciate this moment—giving @joyannreid.bsky.social her flowers. She signs off the way she always does: doing the work and showing us the path to save democracy.

Besides the national security disaster of doing this, take a look at the photo of the man asking for this information. I would not trust him to mail a package of old books for me. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Three years in. Ukraine stands strong. Slava Ukraini.

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

Oh, I like this Governor

#Krasnov I would love it if this # goes viral... And better yet.. he will hate it...

Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

Yesterday domestic terrorists attempted to intimidate me and Michael Fanone (imagine that 🙄) Longer video coming soon. Heading back out to go inspire and get in good trouble. 🫶🏽✌🏽

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

This is what a leader looks like 🔥🔥 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Geroyam Slava 🇺🇦 #SheShed

If you’re a federal worker looking for a good accomplishment to share with Elon, tell him you responded to texts from the mother of your children.

If you admire, love, cherish, appreciate or respect Governor Janet Mills, I will follow you

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

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

As bad economic news piles up, Republicans are laser-focused on tax cuts for their billionaire buddies. Zero focus on inflation, housing costs. qz.com/dow-plunges-...

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

We have added @trumpgolftrack.com to Bluesky. Please pass it on!

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This week isn't the first time former NFL kicker Chris Kluwe has spoken out, made a difference As a result of Kluwe's previous advocacy, the MN Vikings made contributions to LGBTQ orgs, suspended a coach for homophobic rants & instituted sensitivy training www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
