Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Does Musk run NBC now, or are the execs there just independently racist? Let's discuss at 8 am eastern on Jen Taub LIVE www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXoQ...

The US joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine in a stunning shift from years of US policy. The shameful vote by Trump’s UN envoy saw the US at odds with its longtime European allies and instead aligned with the aggressor in the war.

“If there is one characteristic of this president and this administration, it is the utter lack of respect for legal constraints.” That’s especially dangerous in the military context. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/o...

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

BREAKING: Judge in our Treasury case vs. DOGE just raised profound "concerns about constitutionality of DOGE"! She follows Judge Chutkan who also raised questions last week We @sddaction.bsky.social will be in Md. Fed. Ct. Friday in our appointments clause case to prove DOGE is unconstitutional

The proposed American deal on Ukrainian natural resources that would have effectively colonized Ukraine is dead. The European Union will offer Ukraine a deal on natural resources. www.politico.eu/article/crit...

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

He bombs hospitals, murders children, tortures prisoners, kills journalists, steals land—& US Govt voted NO on a UN resolution condemning these war crimes by Netanyahu. Oh, & the Trump regime also voted NO on a UN resolution condemning these same war crimes by Putin. So much for rules based order.

The Simplest Explanation For All The Help Trump Is Giving Putin Is That He's Compromised. http://dlvr.it/TJ9JTn

America is, currently, the bad guys

Prepare to be shocked - I know I was. I came across this viral tweet from a Canadian user on X and this is what he said about the need to protect Canada FROM the US. You read that right, we are now considered a serious threat to our closest ally. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

An evening with Senators who are on the right side of history. Full interview with @timkaine7.bsky.social @timkaine01.bsky.social youtu.be/FDGUds7k3Hs

Bad energy

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Booker In The Kitchen! Full interview on PoliticsGirl Youtube! @corybooker.com youtu.be/lUzRGVSUa9E

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Draw Attention to What They're Doing - A very special guest joined me in the kitchen tonight!! Here's the entire interview with @warren.senate.gov youtu.be/MR6i3y5D2bE

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

*cackle* wish I could share this on my board game cafe's Insta #boardgames

Aviation workers. Nuclear safety experts. Disease investigators. Power grid operators. Maternal health specialists. Bird flu experts. They work to keep Americans safe—without fame or fanfare. Now, Trump and Musk are gutting their agencies and firing them. Here are the facts 🧵

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

I'm genuinely sorry for your personal loss. But not for our nation's loss. Your brother was a toxic, lying influence that instrumentally contributed to the current environment of hate, division, and disinformation. We are all better without him. Bye, girl!

The free world - minus the United States - will continue to do all they can to defend Ukraine, freedom, sovereignty & NATO. Why “minus the United States?” Because the President of the United States does not stand with the free world. He stands with Putin. He always has.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Hot Take: When meeting people who love board games that are lighter than your taste, stop saying you need to "level them up" to more complex games to turn them into a "real gamer" like you. You sound like an idiot. Don't be surprised if they don't want to game with you again.

Asked about 1,000s of federal employees being fired, a govt lawyer responds: "I have not been able to look into that independently or confirm that." Chutkan responds incredulously: "The firing of thousands of federal employees is not a small or common thing. You haven’t been able to confirm that?"

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is wildly inventive, startlingly original & downright HILARIOUS! The entire cast is off-the-charts perfection from the opening moments until their well-deserved standing ovation at the curtain-call. Shakespeare has never been more FUN!!! #A_MustSee 👀 👍 😂

He’s been co-POTUS for 4 weeks. Not even a month. And they’re already calling for the likely future leader of the Democratic Party—a nonwhite woman—to be put in a cage. Twitter has many tweets like the one below. Everyone needs to understand: America is on very limited time now. Fascism is here.

Wow, this is outrageous! DOGE claims they found fraud where 150 year olds were receiving Social Security! What a joke these incompetent, inexperienced folks running this department are! #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Plus critical thinking.

None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.
