@maddow.msnbc.com checking the fine print it says First 100 Business Days.

See you tomorrow night!

The sweat, GRO$$

I thought that “no right turn” sign was a protest sign

Oh and Happy Anniversary, Rachel and Susan!! Seriously happy thinking of the two of you celebrating… especially since you’re taking a night off! Priorities! You, your show, have been my consistent touchstone through this madness, and your speaking truth to power is edifying. Thank you, and cheers!

From the first frame of Dr Kessler’s intro I was back in 2020. He was a guiding light thru that nightmare. His perspective now was just as prescient. “..bad stuff is gonna happen on their watch that they’re gonna have to deal with, and they’re not gonna be equipped to do that.” Their chaos = cause

For years you’ve inspired me w your words and perspective in times of joy, sorrow, and defeat. Not only did you level up and meet the moment, but you made me, a disabled woman relying on SSD/Medicare/Medicaid/SNAP etc, feel seen and represented when “and the disabled” is often omitted. TYSM! 25h4m!!

Ongoing coup!

YouTube video by Senator Jeff Merkley I'm Asking Trump Nominees: Is Trump a Russian Asset?

US Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat from Oregon, models the appropriate way to question Republicans.

Facts.

Good trouble in good company!

I’m so sorry for your Mom’s passing.

Also, I’m one more person who can attest that literally everyone I know who has lost a parent has also had the same immediate cut off, and refund of the current month, of their parent’s Social Security. Their con is a coup

Hero #GoodTrouble

That was a fantastic rebuttal! I’m engaged - and I appreciate your principled leadership. Thank you from Oregon!

Great idea, @rikefranke.bsky.social!

In 🇫🇷:

"Donald Trump and Europeans at the moment of the big break" (Figaro)

"Ukraine and Europe alone vis-à-vis Russia" (Monde)

"A historic clash" (Parisien)

"After the clash between Zelenskyy and Trump, Europe is looking for its place in Ukraine" (Echos)

Your count was at 665, I fixed that

Until Republicans stand up to him, he just made this who we are

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.

This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Or be enough

Yes and.
But not king. Something no one has ever been: master of all things. MOAT. I dunno is that a thing somewhere already? Gamer lingo? Sounds dumb enough. Whatever he would call himself, king will not be enough.

I think to FElon, Yarvinism is just that, one set of theoretical tools in his toolbox. I don’t think he gives a shit about Curtis Yarvin. Tesla was an electric car company before FElon bought it and used it to grow his wealth. CEO monarchy of the US is just a means to his end goal.

Low-information people voted for Trump2.0. The more information FElon destroys or keeps for himself = more control.

We are in his personal post-apocalyptic vid game. I’m guessing the fascistic take over of the US is simply how he gets to level 3, on his way to ruler of the world #accelerationism

The next superpower

I rescheduled an auto-ship to Monday just to be thorough.

Ooof.
And thank you!

Can haz passcode plz?

I share your cynical perspective, Susan. But it had enough of an impact for Republican leadership to tell their peeps to stop having town halls. And they can pry my vote out of my cold dead hands… fwiw cutting my Medicaid and SNAP will speed that process up, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fuck yeah, Jackie!!

I’m in the same boat, but we’re not sunk yet, and I’m no optimist. It will get harder for them to hide what’s in this bill and defend it. And as Bannon (sorry a little barf in my mouth) said himself, a lot of MAGA rely on Medicaid. (And SNAP) Watch videos of town halls: R-congresspeople are shook!!

Just tonight I opened a box of my grandmother’s beautiful c.1970s gowns. I said out loud to no one “No pockets!” Don’t tell me they’ll ruin the line of a dress. I’d rather see a seem gape knowing it means the wearer has agency to rest a hand, stow a cell, or stash a stack of leaflets!
