Shame on Comcast and MSNBC for firing Matthew Dowd. Taken in context, his comments don’t justify their actions. It’s clear they are eager to bend the knee to MAGA just when we need the type clearheaded commentary Dowd has always provided the most.

A Time to See With New Eyes Wow, what a few days.

Despite the fiction that Comcast and MSNBC execs are pushing, here is actually what happened prior to my termination at MSNBC: open.substack.com/pub/matthewd...

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.

Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

If you need it, if you depend on the social security you paid for then you must be a “fraudster”??? Interesting rhetoric to set up recipients of social security…

Instead they blame immigrants

Leaders of the Free World

"This is a shift in global politics. And this is something that I am praying and hoping that we can overcome but unfortunately we're seeing a Republican Party right now that would rather bow to political pressure than stand tall for policies and principle." -Sen. Booker @corybooker.com

Wait until he starts speaking- then once every 30 seconds or so, one member stands and exits. Space it out so it lasts his entire speech. Silent exits. He’ll loose it…

Chilling

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Let’s not wait until they start burning them…

Republicans used to talk about “shock and awe”… now they seem to be using “confuse and blunder”

A point to consider.

I am one of the “American People” in whose name much is being said. There is no mandate. Vance does not speak for me. Musk does not speak for me. Trump only speaks for himself.

MAGA voters, tell me again it was an overreaction when we said Trump was a danger to democracy. This seems like an inane issue- and it is- and the WH reaction is telling.

This was such a cringy speech! His pauses for applause that sat empty spoke volumes.

Sit still and look pretty… the boss is talking

happy bday one of my favs, writer Langston Hughes, b.1901, Joplin, MO.

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."

“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”

American Christians sure like to quote Leviticus when they are condemning gay people but I don’t hear a single one of them quoting this verse that’s only a few lines before.

It is hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help...If I say I am Christian, but do these things, then I am a hypocrite." #PopeFrancis #GoldenRule #WelcomeTheStranger

I'm just saying...

Very few will ever draw a line… they’ve sold their souls.

I love my country, but can we finally put an end to the "America is the greatest country on Earth" mantra. It is simply not true on any metric. We aren't in top ten on quality of life, happiness, freedom, economic equality, education, and democracy. And witnessing yesterday is overwhelming proof.
