Imagine if Obama had said this in front of military personnel about Republicans.

Not going to lie, I'm really reaching the end of my limits on this. What's next, lining people up and shooting them in the streets because of the color of their skin?

โ€œThereโ€™s a baby!โ€

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointmentโ€” which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

The American public deserves to know that those serving at the highest levels of government are free from financial conflicts of interest.

Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption.

I'm determined to get answers.

When you are elected president, you are supposed to be president of the whole country.

And protect the whole country, from natural disasters and more.

No state should be denied critical funding simply because of how they voted.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.ย 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Today, weโ€™re voting on what Republicans are calling the โ€œSAVE Actโ€โ€”but letโ€™s be real, itโ€™s a straight-up voter suppression bill.

They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote.

Iโ€™m voting NOโ€”hell no, actually.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veteransโ€™ benefits, and free school lunches.

They swore they'd fix the economyโ€”but this sure as hell ainโ€™t it.

I spoke with @maddow.msnbc.com last night about this story โ€” and it really became a (very kind!) testament to the work that all of my brilliant colleagues have been doing at @wired.com over the last few months. Very proud to be part of this team, and weโ€™re not going anywhere!

Hi.

Books are incredibly important.

Please let them be.

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Much of the media's attention is focused on what harm Pete Hegseth's reckless irresponsibility might do to him, when it should be focused on what harm it could have done to our troops--and *will* do to our relationships with allies, especially in Europe.

This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
