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.

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.

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. 🧵

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
