I'm watching Friday's show on DVR. So glad you're using this national platform to boost LATaco! Great work all around.

Innovation 💡 😊

It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge.

Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

Protesters formed a human banner Saturday morning at S.F.'s Ocean Beach, spelling out “NO KINGS” and “YES ON 50,” encouraging the passage of a measure on the November ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

I just watched your Maddow segment. I'm so grateful for your work and your voice.

The background photo of the "newsroom" is super distracting. Is it in a bank lobby? A Metro station? Please keep it simple.

Looks like I won't be tuning in for a few days to @msnbc.com

BAD choice to air the "Charlie Kirk" Memorial. It doesn't have a Goddamned thing to do with Charlie Kirk. It's a MAGA Rally.

Stick it in your ass.

Does anybody truly believe that Tom Homan's $50,000 payday was a one-off? (Presumably the FBI didn't, or why would they have launched their investigation?) I hope investigative journalists and others with the ability to dig into his whole range of activities will pick up the torch

Hitler didn't start with death camps. He began with Making Germany Great Again, demonizing immigrants, targeting the press, blaming educators, defunding the arts, and stoking fears of outsiders.
This is why we're waving our arms and screaming at y'all to STOP!🛑

An open endorsement of hate - precisely what you do not want the President to do after an assassination when messages from leaders disavowing violence are especially important www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

The burial of the Homan case — 50 k in cash in a cava bag??!!—would be strange and troubling even in a department of justice that enjoyed a presumption of regularity. In this department, which has lost that presumption, it stinks to high heaven and requires investigation.

TIRED OF WINNING?
You're in luck!

Trump decided to charge $100k for H1B Visas which will suck away all of the international talent from the US & send it straight to our adversaries.

The panic created by this policy that'll destroy our future put people & companies in absolute chaos this weekend!

Physicians is past time to speak.

Sarah Despres @sarahdespres X.com I see @SecKennedy was able to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial. It's unfortunate the Secretary of HHS was not able to attend the funeral of Officer David Rose who was killed in the senseless attack on the CDC, one of the agencies within @hhs. 6:56 PM • 9/21/25 • 808 Views

I'm planning to make a salad very much like this one today. This post is my "sign" to get off my damn phone and start cooking!

Weird some scicomm accounts gave the new “Tylenol in pregnancy & autism” review some weight.

They don’t know the lead author, Baccarelli, had the exact claims thrown out of federal court for having ZERO scientific merit,

when he was a paid “expert witness” in lawsuits against Tylenol makers.

Every single person sent to CECOT was denied their 5th Amendment right to due process and their 8th Amendment right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.

Every single person involved in denying these rights must be removed from their job and criminally prosecuted.

(1/2) Trump's immigration policies are threatening access to long-term health services.

Health Aides like Marcia should be able to focus on providing care without fear of deportation.
