NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly’s AUDACITY 100 Disruptors Summit was a powerful reminder of how interconnected we all are.

Graphic that reads: DID DONALD TRUMP CANCEL JIMMY KIMMEL? After Colbert’s show was canceled, Trump posted that “next up” is Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel is on ABC (owned by Disney). Some ABC stations are controlled by a media company called Nexstar. Nexstar and Disney both need the Trump admin’s approval of 2 big business deals. Talking about Kimmel and ABC, Trump’s FCC Chair said, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." ABC execs were reportedly "pissing themselves" over fear of Trump retaliation. Nexstar announced it won’t carry Kimmel's show. ABC indefinitely canceled Kimmel’s show. Trump called it “great news for America.” We need a free press, not a few corporate media giants bowing down to Trump

These violent ICE arrests don't make us safer — they intentionally stoke fear and tear communities apart.

NEW: With Trump acting as both POTUS and as his own crypto brand ambassador, it’s hard to tell which job he’s doing at any given moment.

In Budget Logs It Tried to Hide, White House Wrests More Control Over Spending

Of all the “honestly I never expected” things — Congress absolutely rolling over and abdicating its power to the White House — any White House — is one of the most shockingly unnecessary.

It will not be remembered well in history, by either side, ironically.
