I supported Kamala & would vote for her again. Unfortunately, this country simply will not elect a well-qualified woman as president. They had two excellent chances and opted instead for a con man who is trying to destroy this country. Sorry, but we need to keep looking at the white male contenders

Why is no one else asking what happened to everything in the East Wing - art, photos, furniture, historical treasures? To properly store everything would take weeks, yet there were no reports of this happening. So much history! Where is it!!

Gov. Pritzker is doing a great job. Keep showing these news conferences, @msnbc.com

Governor Pritzker is doing a great job highlighting ICE abuses, complete with video. Thanks to @msnbc.com for showing it. We need more coverage of this.

I wish the DNC were also doing daily news conferences to highlight the Trump outrages. Pete Buttegieg would be a great spokesman for these.

List of stations owned or operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group - Wikipedia

If your ABC station is owned by Sinclair, you'll want to continue the boycott and contact your local ABC station to complain. Here's a list of what Sinclair owns:

The same ICE ad has been running in Denver for the last week. I assume it's showing nationwide.

As with so many other important things today, we need to rely on the states to keep this history alive. History Colorado has done a great job recreating the Amache Internment Camp, both online and at the museum.

We miss you, Matthew. Now I have to wonder if every single person left on MSNBC is holding back for fear of the same fate. MSNBC wasn't ever perfect, but it was overall better than the competition. Now, the most reliable sources are on-line on YouTube and BlueSky. I hope you can find another home.

Do we know if the Tikvah Fund grant went through regular review (panel, staff, National Council) before award by the Chair? Chair's Grants without that review are limited. Also curious if anyone has obtained the grant proposal under FOIA.

I'll happily watch any channel that re-hires Matthew Dowd. He told the truth and in rather mild terms at that. Shame on MSNBC.

Why would any immigrant in their right mind ever want to come back to the US for any reason!! Thanks, Trump. You've destroyed valuable immigration in this country. We are all much poorer because of it.

Kirk is a racist, misogynist, white supremacist. This should be reported right along with all his other views.

Here is a memorial in Salzburg on the eastern end of the Mirabell Palace grounds commemorating 250 victims of "euthanasia" in 1941, one of several sites where Hitler ordered use of carbon monoxide to exterminate undesireables in hospitals. Germans/Austrians admit to their past. Will Fox/ Kilmeade?

Horrifying white supremacist, fascist, misogynist garbage from Kirk. Before anybody thinks about celebrating this guy's life, please watch this.

Looks like we now have three Rs criticizing the MAGA response -- Tillis, Bacon, Massie. That's a start. Are there more??

Thank you, Good Morning America, for pointing out that Trump cited violence against Rs, but didn't mention the many assassinations and attempts against Democrats! @ABCNews

Schumer made a great move today to get Rs on record in blocking the Epstein files. Nobody will notice because of Kirk and Evergreen shootings.

I'm glad to see the bipartisan condemnation of this shooting. Why didn't we see this when Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in June??

So much attention to the Charlie Kirk shooting today that most don't know that there's also a shooting at a high school in Evergreen, Colorado. It's the guns!!! Will we ever learn??

Here in Colorado, we expected this move by Trump. The entire bipartisan delegation wanted to keep Space Force here. So moving this to Alabama might help a little in defeating Evans and Boebert, both in purple districts.

And let's not forget about polio -- which was almost eradicated in the 1950s, thanks to vaccines! Get those iron lungs out of storage!
