A fire at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s official state residence in Harrisburg was caused by arson, according to the State Police. Where are all those MAGA folks screeching about Teslas condemning this?

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

I will never trust a country that thought it was a good idea to elect this ridiculous, malevolent man as its leader.

The home of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was set on fire this morning — while he and his family were inside — Shapiro says. No one was injured. The incident is being investigated as arson by state police.

There is no excuse for many members of Congress not to be calling for impeachment over the foreign gulag arrangement. This is illegal and morally depraved.

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation. When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for. Unacceptable.

Alex Lawson: This is going to end in checks not going out. The money that we have earned is not getting into our hands. And I believe strongly that’s the point. The cuts they've made have had no other rhyme or reason except to literally destroy the system. @maddow.msnbc.com

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of terrorism anonymously.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Even if tRump left office now, cleaning up his corruption and damage, and restoring the United States as a country with any credibility, will take decades, if ever. tRump destroyed the United States. And Republicans, the Heritage Foundation, Fox News, and billionaires went along for the ride.
