Yes, let’s get rid of Morning Joe instead of Joy Reid. Joe prefers the sound of his own voice too much always interrupting and talking over guests.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

But why? It’s a mystery!

Janet Mills, the Democratic governor of Maine, challenged President Trump during a White House meeting on Friday. The fight has thrust Mills onto the national stage, making her a folk hero to her party and a political target. Here's what to know.

Trump has already spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money to play golf since he took office, an expense that appears to have escaped his “Department of Government Efficiency” waste, fraud and abuse hunters. He’s on pace to spend $100 million on golf this year. www.pennlive.com/news/2025/02...

Agree of Disagree? Is the Trump chaos just part of a Steve Bannon script they are following? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

“They don’t want to play by the rules when the rules are the very thing that gave them power.” youtube.com/shorts/msOja...

Trump slams President Zelensky for demanding a seat at peace negotiations over his own country’s future: “You’ve been there for three years. You should’ve ended it in three years. You should have never started it.” (Fact check: Russia started the war against Ukraine.)

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

If you haven’t watched this episode yet, I suggest you do. Great discussion on media and reaching people. @chrislhayes.bsky.social is a great guest for Offline with @jonfavs.bsky.social

Anything to piss off DT!!!

“The DOGE team’s attack at Treasury began with Musk’s allies reportedly pressured the department’s highest-ranking career official to gain access to the department’s payment systems. That official …ultimately resigned rather than follow an unlawful order.” #stopdoge www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Bonhoeffer believed that stupidity is a moral failing that can be used to manipulate people and cause harm. youtu.be/ww47bR86wSc?...

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

See through the smoke and mirrors—it’s all about finding money for deeper tax cuts for the wealthy. #taxcuts apple.news/A0S-wItraQWW...
