Where is Rachel Maddow tonight? It might just be a scheduled night off but I didn't hear about it and so I'm worried.

Billionaire Elon Musk’s unprecedented efforts to bolster the conservative candidate in next week’s hotly contested Wisconsin Supreme Court race ran into legal hot water Friday amid accusations that he had broken state election law.

BREAKING - Trump tries to claim he'll fight childhood cancer Says the man who literally just DESTROYED federal funding for fighting childhood cancer

BREAKING - Trump just asked Congress for a death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer Says the man who PARDONED over 400 violent insurrectionists who assaulted the Capitol Police on his behalf on January 6 -- with 4 officers ultimately dying

A direct threat to a NATO ally.

The 1st president of the U.S. to ever have an unelected bureaucrat in the Oval Office after that guy bankrolled his campaign with $250M just congratulated himself for draining the swamp and announced, "The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over." You can't make this up.

Marco looks quite nervous at those words because he knows very well that if anything goes wrong, he will take the blame.

"Why don't you wear a suit?"

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

this agreement says the employee waives any claim he might have stemming from his employment OR the deferred resignation offer itself, which to me reads like they're saying that if you sign it, you waive your ability to sue them if they breach it

It is as if the droogs from Clockwork Orange entered the White House to do their "ultra violence" with Alex (Musk) leading the gang after going for a hit at the Korova milkbar. droogs: from the Russian word друг, which is "friend", "buddy" Kubrick (director) & Burgess (author) were so prescient.

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power. This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die. Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa. For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...

GOOD. Shut it all down.

So Department of Education employees were placed on paid leave for attending diversity training during (checks notes to be sure) TRUMP’S FIRST TERM UNDER HIS SECRETARY OF EDUCATION! 🙄 Given the rationale, shouldn’t Trump be placed on leave since those diversity training courses were on HIS watch? 🤷‍♂️

Family includes everyone! ❤️

Today marks the start of Black History Month — a time to recognize both the hardships endured by and celebrate the achievements of Black Americans. Black history is American history and it is critical that we honor Black voices and leaders every single day of the year.

This is what vengeance & retribution look like! He plans to undo everything that happened in the Biden years. Not because it's good for America but because it's revenge on Biden We are in a cold Civil War and he will ultimately try to stop all funding -- whatever it is -- for all Blue states!

Another thing about Trump's tariff war is that Mexico was actively working to replace manufacturing from China to lower costs, provide new jobs, and compete on the global market. China was also heavily investing in Mexico to prevent local ownership. Trump's current attack is 100% favorable to China.

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA. Locals panicked and they backed off. sjvwater.org/decision-to-...
