What happened in LA today was intolerable political theater meant to intimidate, but behind the scenes this administration is making choices that will disrupt millions of people’s lives… #MSNBC #WeekendPrimetime

We had a president in Joe Biden who cared about public service, employing government to make lives better and speaking out about kindness, decency and democracy. That’s what a real president does and sounds like.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

β€˜Saturday Night Live’ is turning 50. How was it influenced by Minnesotans? Former β€œSNL” writer (and senator) Al Franken played a significant role, but the show also has ties to Minneapolis’ Brave New Workshop.

Tom Davis and I got our start at Brave New Workshop before landing the gig at SNL and bringing our Minneapolis roots with us to NYC - 50 years ago!

As DFLers, we are lucky to have a deep bench of people who are guided by Paul Wellstone’s words: we all do better when we all do better. I look forward to supporting the candidate we nominate to work on behalf of Minnesotans in Washington. (2/2)

During the first Trump term, one study looked at the success rate of lawsuits against the administration.

In 53 of the 58 suits, Trump LOST.

And it’s going to happen again.

We need the best communicators among the Democrats to speak to the public on a regular basis, much like governors did during COVID. This is becoming more urgent as the lawlessness and lies accelerate and it gets harder for people to know what’s true. This should include Pete Buttigieg. Who else?

Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia said the freeze on federal aid would allow the government to review all programs, including ones that provide free school lunches to low-income children.

It’s nice when the crazies self-identify.

We need to move very quickly through the shock.

12. Hegseth, according to his books, could be counted upon to ignore threats to America from abroad, and to use a purged and politicized military against β€œenemies within.” This is consistent with Trump's avowed intention to build a kind of dictatorship on the ruins of a dysfunctional government.

13. Hegseth thus represents a policy of regime change. Trump’s nomination of Hegseth is best understood as part of a decapitation strike against the republic. A Christian Reconstructionist war on Americans led from the Department of Defense is likely to break the United States.
