⚠️ #RachelMaddow discusses several instances of #ICE agents' "unacceptable behavior" in the last week in places like #NewYork, #Chicago, and #Maryland, including one instance where an agent threw a crying mother to the ground in New York City.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

These lies are pissing me off.

This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants – that’s already against the law.

It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.

Opinion | RFK Jr. is trying to run the same playbook on abortion pills that he just ran on Tylenol This administration has already shown that it will ignore scientific evidence to advance its own narratives.

The administration twisted science last week to claim that Tylenol is unsafe in pregnancyβ€”and news also broke that the FDA is conducting a "review" of the abortion pill mifepristone. These moves are related in more ways than one and women and pregnant people will pay the price. Me in @msnbc.com:

Two civil rights attorneys who had spoken out against the Trump administration’s efforts to weaken enforcement of the Fair Housing Act were dismissed from their posts. Their work enforcing the Fair Housing Act (a cornerstone of U.S. civil rights) involved investigating and prosecuting landlords,

One of the very big reason autism diagnoses became more common in the last few decades is that doctors finally realized that women can be autistic.

Imagine that, literally doubling the population of people who could be diagnosed, increased number of diagnoses. Who would have even thought.

These documents were deleted or modified on Sept 2nd 2025 by DHS staff.

Lisa Monaco was a natsec aide for Obama and worked for Napolitano.

We believe these documents were modified in support of these malicious prosecutions, and we found a smoking gun for fabrication of evidence.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a β€œdangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.
