Trailer trash runs the Oval Office

Today wasn’t a meeting—it was an Oval Office ambush, and it was planned. Zelenskyy has thanked the U.S. and its president dozens of times. Everyone knows that—including Trump. But gratitude was never what he wanted; he wanted a spectacle. “This is going to be great television” - Donald Trump

Zelenskyy should rip up the mineral deal and pee on it.

What a horrible showing of how pathetic our president and vice president are today. Just trash

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

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

Donald Trump’s not just Putin’s lapdog—he’s his goddamn wind-up toy. The guy kisses more Russian ass than a Moscow masseuse. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

MSNBC left casual racism behind and went competitive.

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

What are they doing to save democracy!?!?!

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

NEW: Aluminum producer Alcoa said on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s plan to impose a tariff on aluminum imports could cost about 100,000 US jobs and would itself not be enough to entice it to boost production in the country. The tariff is set to take effect March 4. 🔗 www.mining.com/web/alcoa-wa...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

California should do what Maine has threatened. Pull all federal tax payments and hold them in state. The federal government would run out of money in weeks ending this stupid coup.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

Joy on our crisis of democracy: "Tonight on our final ReidOut, we’re going to talk about what people are actually doing to resist this and get some great advice from some of our favorite friends on what more we can do."

this week's cover is on point ht: @jamiegangel.bsky.social

I only rooted for the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl because they were the underdog. Now that they're declining the WH trip that comes with winning, I might root for them more...

The WHITEWASHING of NBC continues....Lester Holt is stepping down as anchor of NBC Nightly News. MSNBC just fired Joy Reid. This is a HORRIBLE look for network. But in Trump's America, this is called bending the knee and kissing the ring of a "king".

Joy Reid Alex Wagner Ayman Mohyeldin Katie Phang Lester Holt Jonathan Capehart What do they have in common besides being let go by NBC? Hum let me think. Not even Law and Order will get me watching. #boycottnbc Like and repost to spread the word. #boycott

Fourteen states have filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, challenging Musk's role as head of the new Department of Government Efficiency and accusing him of being a "designated agent of chaos" whose "sweeping authority" is in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Trump can’t end birthright citizenship, appeals court says, setting up Supreme Court showdown

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So much winning 🙄

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

Liz Cheney to JD Vance: "You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
