Watch as @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social co-hosts @symonedsanders.bsky.social and @michaelsteele.bsky.social, with special guest host @jonathancapehart.bsky.social, were featured in a comedy bit on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

@symonedsanders.bsky.social shreds Trump’s Epstein timeline as the Supreme Court prepares to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal on September 29.

Brett Hankison, the Kentucky police officer who blindly fired 10 bullets into Breonna Taylor's home in 2020 during a botched raid has been sentenced to nearly three years, her family's lawyer said.

In case you didn’t read the Wall Street Journal last week, here is what the paper says was included in the birthday message from Trump to Epstein

Opinion | Trump’s attempts to decide who is ‘American’ is downright un-American The arc of American history bends toward inclusion — but only if we push back.

OPINION by @symonedsanders.bsky.social:

“Our history is filled with people who refused to let anyone else define their Americanness.”

Today’s mixed Supreme Court ruling leaves the future of birthright citizenship to the lower courts. @andreaflores.bsky.social explains the implications for now as the plaintiffs seek class certification via @aliciamenendez.bsky.social and @symonedsanders.bsky.social @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social:

The news is exhausting and today I have had it. The Trump administration wants us to believe it’s perfectly fine to ask if the 14th amendment to THE CONSTITUTION is in fact CONSTITUTIONAL. That’s crazy.

Gun Silencer Provision In GOP Tax Bill Violates Rules, Says Senate Rules Ref The parliamentarian ruled that the provision making it easier to get silencers, rifles and shotguns is irrelevant to the budget bill and has to come out.

Last night I said Michael was raining on the Democrats’ parade re: the NYC mayoral primary and he said it was a parade walking in circles 😭🤣 Come for the banter and stay for the reminder that democrats have figured out what works for them post 2024.

The people aren’t with the same old same old. They know they deserve more and want it. They want candidates who actually knock on doors and earn votes. They want something to vote for and not just against. They want a vision and an understanding of their issues - like the rent being too damn high.

What the Trump Administration is not saying about taking military action in Iran is actually very telling. In my experience, the comms strategy is a choice. We can learn a lot if we just pay attention.

The next few days and weeks will be important. What Congress does (Republicans and Democrats) as well as world leaders and the intelligence community will reverberate for years to come.

The Iran deal the Obama Admin negotiated (JCPOA) took years and had the involvement of many other countries. Our current president thought he could negotiate a better deal in less than 6 months, alone with a real estate investor as his lead negotiator.1/

In just shy of 6 months in office, Trump has done many of the things he claimed he would never do and just about nothing that he promised he would.

‘You don't love a country more because you have a big flag': @michaelsteele.bsky.social rips Trump for flag obsession

Deseret News condemns Lee’s posts about Minnesota shooting The editorial board of the Utah-based publication said the Utah senator cast a “poor light”’ on the Beehive State.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

Tonight we had a good old fashioned kitchen table conversation about President Obama, Dems and speaking out in this moment. Thoughts?

Right-Wing Extremists Are Abuzz Over Musk's Straight-Arm Salute Right-wing extremists are abuzz over Elon Musk giving an awkward straight-armed salute during an inauguration rally for Donald Trump.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Lots of tradition and pomp and circumstance today, but a reminder that what we heard in President Trump’s inauguration speech was not normal and his comments after are not just “rhetoric”

😂😂😂 yes when I put the dress on this morning I said “oh no”
