Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

SOON: @ezralevin.bsky.social will join @jenpsaki.msnbc.com to discuss Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, the organizing that’s happening to fight back against Disney/ABC’s capitulation, and Trump’s attacks on free speech. Tune into @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social on @msnbc.com.

Tonight, on The Briefing Stacey Abrams told Jen Psaki the 10 steps towards autocracy have been taken & how essential it is that people fight for democracy. #Freedom #Power #DefendDemocracy 10stepscampaign.org

Here for whatever brand of coffee Cory Booker is injecting in here…

Remember when Grassley was actually a defender of whistleblowers….

To state the obvious Patel saying he is in charge of making decisions about personnel and who he fires and who he investigates is not the same as saying he hasn’t had convos and received any instruction form White House.

See you at 9

We have a big show with @schiff.senate.gov @wesmoore.bsky.social @jamestalarico.bsky.social and the absolutely ludicrous way Trump is trying to explain his connection to Epstein. And why it is failing. Coming up at 9…

It’s a September miracle

"It's, I believe, a nefarious plan. It's one that's been repeated over and over again by, well, tyrannical dictatorships across history."  Gov. JB Pritzker exclusively joins @jenpsaki.msnbc.com on the @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social to discuss Trump's threat to send troops into Chicago.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker will be Jen Psaki's guest on The Briefing on Friday night, 9pmET on MSNBC to talk about Donald Trump's threat to send the National Guard to Chicago, and much more.

This day was about empowerment of incredible survivors and we are going to spend a lot of the show talking with the family of Virginia Giuffre, with @pressley.house.gov and sharing some of the many powerful moments today. @ossoff.bsky.social will also be here to talk about vaccines, CDC & RFK Jr

These survivors and their family members are stronger and more courageous and better at speaking publicly than the overwhelming majority of people in public office. This is so incredibly powerful.

A lot to get to tonight…officials standing up to Trump from the CDC to the Fed to FEMA…Will talk with one of the CDC leaders who resigned, a city DA who is not backing down and the oyster man taking Collins on. Plus there was a briefing today and I came up…and have some thoughts on that..

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize trans people has completely lost touch with the common humanity."

Nothing like having your name in the mini crossword to hear from amazing people I haven’t talked with in a while (who I now know are people who do the mini crossword first thing in the am and it makes me love them more)

No idea what they agreed to if anything. Calls planned to nato zelensky. And another meeting maybe in Moscow

Little low energy Don here..

Putin attacks Biden. Which Trump loved I am sure

Putin seems to be taking the flattery strategy with Trump. Which has historically worked including in the US

The glad handing with Putin and riding in the presidential limo together and laughing is quite a start here…

Welp…team Vance caught in a bit of a lie…will dig into what we know about that meeting. The FBI discussion. The Epstein discussion. What we saw came out of it today. More on Texas and hypocrisy of Ken Paxton. And lots more. Lots to dig into tonight.

Lots to dig into tonight. The victims of Epstein and Maxwell being treated as after thoughts, what’s the deal with the Blanche interview,Texas Dems standing up to Abbott, republicans having a tough go of it at town halls.

My god…the things some of these folks say out loud…https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/30/bessent-trump-accounts-backdoor-privatize-social-security-00484859

Ok lots to get into tonight. What the proffer immunity for Maxwell means, Trump saying he hasn’t thought about a pardon (hint:he has said that before), how he was he greeted in Scotland and how Republicans are being greeted at home. And some thoughts and a great guest on media obeying in advance.

Tonight! @repsummerlee.bsky.social will be @jenpsaki.msnbc.com ‘s guest on The Briefing to talk about her motion to subpoena the Epstein files. 9pmET on MSNBC

starting the show with some pretty weird things Trump has been saying…@rokhanna.bsky.social about his new bill to force Rs to vote on disclosing any Epstein docs.. @schiff.senate.gov about Emil Bove and Maureen Comey and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social about the R effort to pull back $$

This is all a part of the pursuit of more data that is alarming as hell. A small encouraging thing (not small at all in these communities) is the number of officials saying no (including local republican officials) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Always a sign of strength when you start attacking your own supporters…just kind of a dead give away.

We found lots of old footage w/ many connections between Trump and Epstein plus have some thoughts on why this is driving the right crazy. Plus the R party claims to be fighting anti-semitism…the Dept of Education dismantling will hit lots of red states and who is detained in alligator Alcatraz…

If it’s a Friday..lots of new details and reporting in the wild maga soap opera Epstein files drama…will bongino ever be back at work? What happened…And the democrat demanding more info. Plus Trump is the master of squandering capital. More FEMA fails. And waiting for a ruling in California…at 9pm..

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Former senior FBI special agent Michael Feinberg tells Jen Psaki that fellow agents, including some still serving, encouraged him to write about his dismissal from the agency for being friends with a Trump political enemy. "I'm not the only one who's been treated this way."

Kicking off the show tonight with all the ways Trump has no clue what is happening, no understanding of policy or the economy …will talk about who is taking advantage of that, but also it’s not all dark…there is also opportunity in his ignorance. And going to talk with @warren.senate.gov about it

It is incredibly rare and courageous for a career official to resign and speak out. Michael Feinberg was an FBI official until last week. He joins me tonight. Lots of qs. And he wrote this eye popping piece about what happened: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...

Dear @jenpsaki.msnbc.com, this Purple Heart recipient, who has lived in USA for 48 yrs, deserves to have his story elevated. I hope you will consider it. Thank you. www.thedailybeast.com/purple-heart...

Well Pete Hegseth went crazy at reporters this morning, Karoline Leavitt read from the same memo. So we are going to talk about that and do a briefing of our own. Plus we will talk about the bad day for the big ugly bill, the impact of Supreme Court ruling and also some of the big qs about Iran.

So Hegseth is both so concerned about the details of an assessment being out in public that he is launching a leaks investigation (so that media will cover that and not the contents of the report…) and he is also accusing media of “spinning” just for accurately reporting on the assessment…got it…

Trump and his minions have been caught in quite a few lies today…about everything from Iran strikes to the big ugly bill…will roll through as many as I can. And talk about why he may have been so cranky. Will also talk about how Stephen Miller is making money off of his cruel immigration policies.

I meant to add her Bluesky handle! @spsaki.bsky.social I told her we all need her expertise on public health threats right now…

Just some light reading (written by my genius sister Dr Stephanie Psaki) on the impact of Trump cuts on biodefense and why we should be worried…https://www.justsecurity.org/114532/dismantling-cdcs-work-dismantling-biodefense/

Today was a WH briefing day…so we have one of our own…plus the failures of media in convering Trump on Iran, what the heck happened at Dodger Stadium, conditions in ICE facilities…what can be done about political violence with @smith.senate.gov on @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

Lots to dig into tonight. 1000s more national guard deployed to LA, court may allow Trump to maintain control of national guard in LA for now, what does that mean for other cities? Trump’s Iran about face and what the impact could be if US attacks Iran, NYC Comptroller spends 3 plus hours detained.

On this tragic day in Minnesota, the folks in Northfield opened their rally with a moment of silence and prayer for the victims of last night’s shootings. Then, this Flag Day, they vowed to take back the flag from MAGA as the crowd of anti-Trump protesters sang the anthem. #NoKingsDay #NoKings
