"Protests by military families against a defense secretary are extremely rare..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tulsi Gabbard is confirmed by the Senate as Trump’s director of national intelligence.

As we’ve been calling out for weeks, they had more than just “read access.” The Treasury has now revoked the editing access that was “mistakenly” given to a musk staffer.

Abbreviated, from a recent Rachel Maddow episode:

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

So, I live in “Small Town”, Indiana. I was in a Speedway gas station today, and the clerk was talking to customers about Elon Musk and his Nazi salute, saying that it was clearly a Nazi salute. The resistance is strong, my friends. As Dr. Rachel Maddow recently said: It is on. It is on. It is ON.

FYI. The FDA is not allowed to announce any food recalls due to the health communications pause the current administration enacted. You can still find this information by visiting www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls

Well done everyone!

The day women shut down Iceland, we have a lot to learn from these ice women, they shut down the economy, billionaires do not like that, at all, just saying. apnews.com/article/icel...

Firing independent watchdogs is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Removes another obstacle to corruption and abuse of power www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

To the haters Yes he is charming and nice, but he is also as tough as nails. He thrives on a challenge. Just saying.... "In the face of adversity, it is our resilience and determination that define us." - Pete Buttigieg

1) Bird flu cases are rising, including in Virginia: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... 2) Thanks to Trump, the CDC has no leader: www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-who... 3) The Trump admin halted CDC scientific meetings and public communications, including on bird flu: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/h...

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

So how long will it be before the Orange Stain announces that everyone he pardoned is now part of his own personal Army?

A real Christian.

They're going to end up overplaying their hand and getting a jury nullification. "First degree murder in furtherance of terrorism" and going for life with no parole...it's not appropriate to the crime. If they don't give the jury the option of convicting on a lesser charge they may let him walk.

Evidently the GOP really doesn’t have a problem with foreigners taking over the country.

i feel like there should be a person who's job it is to show up the first day of shooting, sit the director and the cinematographer down in a room and say "whatever you're about to do, it does not need to be that dark."
