🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Today would have been my friend John Lewis' birthday. He often said, “Never stop fighting. When you see something wrong, you have to call it out. Never give up, and never give in.” In his honor, we must promise to continue fighting for justice — today and every day.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

🚨BREAKING: Elon Musk and Donald Trump have fired the federal workers that ran the Veterans Crisis hotline. The blood of veterans in crisis who die will be on their hands. These monsters are evil.

MLK’s family fear new batch of assassination files will have FBI ‘smears’

After a 12-hour markup where Democrats fought to stop them, Republicans passed a budget that betrays the middle class. Their plan steals from working families while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to their billionaire donors. Democrats will fight this Republican Rip Off.

The budget resolution released Wednesday by the House Republican caucus contains no concrete details, but it codifies a GOP strategy that should surprise absolutely no one. Take a peek:

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

#TheReidOut with Joy Reid starts right now on MSNBC! Tune in now, #reiders.

Joy Reid leading #TheReidOut tonight: "We begin tonight less than three weeks into this new administration and we are already facing what is rightfully being described as a constitutional crisis."

Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress and previously railed against executive overreach by Democratic presidents, have sat on the sidelines as Trump carries out controversial — and sometimes legally questionable — executive actions and orders.

2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs after President Trump’s order to open dams. But water experts say the water will not flow to Los Angeles, and that it's being wasted by being released during the wet winter season: cnn.it/3CyhEHy

@BRAVO @RHOP Keinara needs to stop crying and decide what she wants. Her man is very dismissive of her. If she wants that, then stay with him. It will not get better. If not, move on and find her joy #RHOP
