Yeah. Tired of TV reporters just reporting shallow statements from the β€œadministration.” Who cares if Trump was β€œenergized,” unless she reported it as a way to say he’s nuts. (Probably not.)
MS NOW is also running pro ICE ads. And I believe I saw a horrible ad from the SOTU extolling repubs. 😑

ICE ad on MJ is morally repugnant. Please consider removing it. It feels like we are being played for fools, too. Deeply disappointed in MJ and MS NOW.

Matthews lost me when he supported the Guard in DC and called the Dems β€œweak on crime” to oppose it. 😑

Yes! The ICE ad is horrible and very hypocritical of MS NOW and Morning Joe to air. They can’t call them brown shirts and thugs and a paramilitary force on one hand and then take their money on the other. Doing so says We the Viewers are fools. I’m boycotting until the ads are gone.

We see, but all they care about is putting rebuttals in their Fox, Newsmax, etc., viewers’ mouths. Thats it.

That’s awful that you’ve suffered abuse.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

Told ya … the theft of our elections by the GOP is coming ...

No paywall.

Hope MJ is covering this!! Most important story because if elections are rigged, justice for everyone is over. (I’m not watching the show until the ICE ads are gone. )

Yes. It is so hypocritical of them. Even MSNOW posting here about the Columbia U protests that have broken out. Can’t try to enrage us while taking money from ICE on the other end. Disappointing…

Stop buying ICE ads, MS NOW. Don’t send us this one one hand while you take ad money for a gross ICE ad on the other. We are not fools.

I have noticed that too! I feel insecure with them. Like I wonder β€” if they were invited to the new ballroom, would they go? πŸ€”

I know all that but still thought she held to her values. I see them as trying to get through to Trump, but agree with you that it is unnerving. Like.. are we viewers the fools?

What is Mika? I thought she was a Democrat. 😳

Would also love to know which hosts said β€œno ICE ads during my show.” Certainly not MJ. Nicolle Wallace had a guest on who advocated boycotts. She was all in. I haven’t heard one ICE ad during her show, at least.

Keep the admin honest, NY Times. Lives on the line. Keep at the GOP lawmakers in Congress. They’re complicit and enabling.

I’d love to know their convos about that ICE ad. It’s bad enough that it’s ICE, but the ad is particularly insulting. Dangerous criminals are just that, whether immigrants or not. They use that β€œcriminal” word to excuse their purge and to build their paramilitary. MS NOW doesn’t care. Joke is on us!

Infuriating. β€œTHEY” are letting dangerous criminals in? How about the β€œthey” who staged a violent insurrection then pardoned those criminals to run free among us and join ICE? Hypocrisy MS NOW. Call ICE brown shirts to please your viewership but take their ad $$ on the other end. Boycotting.

MS NOW MJ ad buyer: who is the β€œthey” is the ICE ad? Us? Turning off the show now. That ICE ad is a slap in our faces.

Agree with her word β€œsickening” to describe it.

My brother has schizophrenia. He lives in a convalescent home, on SSI Disability and Medicaid. Walking in there is the saddest thing, and I fill with anger when I think of what’s to come due these vulnerable people after the midterms when the cuts start. The BBB is, instead, the BEV: BigEvilBill.

Saw my first ICE ad today on Hulu app during this show. Very disappointing. Find ad money elsewhere, MSNOW!

Joe sounds like he’s trying to teach Trump β€œAmerican Gov for Dummies” this morning. Hope Trump is watching. Tariffs are taxes that we the consumer pay most/much of. (I’ve developed two macro econ books.)

Yes yes YES. And it needs to start with telling women what they’ll need to do if the dreadful SAVE Act passes (thanks Senator Collins!) Women who took their husband’s last name can be disenfranchised if they don’t have other sanctioned ID that shows married name, like a costly passport. 😑

Wait till they privatize Social Security… That’s coming in years 3 and 4 of this democratic wrecking ball of a presidency. Rich will get even richer.

β€œDangerous precedent,” β€œmicromanaging,” are autocratic-normalizing words to describe what Trump (yes, Trump) is doing to dissenting voices and late night comics he doesn’t like. It’s a fascist move. When will GOP Congress act?
