Lawrence O’Donnell is not on MSNBC because he was recently seriously injured in a taxi accident while traveling abroad. He’s back in the United States for treatment but will be off the air for several weeks. Here is wishing you a speedy full recovery, Lawrence. We miss your trenchant observations.

This is a terrific ad that ran during the Toronto Blue Jays game last night. Recognize the Voice?

The Supreme Court is about to gut sec. 2 of the voting rights act, thereby nullifying the 15th Amendment and erasing the Civil War from history. Assuring that white voters have a super majority in congressional districts is not racist; it’s just whites being political overlords, getting their due.

Play this loudly Saturday at the No Kings protests…! On hundreds/thousands of phones !

Chief Justice John Roberts….. ….is this America you’ve envisioned? ….is this how the Constitution is supposed to work? ….does the rule of law still exist in America? ….or is your preference for monarchal rule? ….or an oligarchy of privilege for the rich and powerful? What side are you on?

Watch this. Then do it 👇 #ShowMeYourHellhole

John Lennon should have turned 85 today.

This is heartbreaking.

FULL MOON. Beyond the reach of Trump, for now. Tomorrow is the full moon. It’s a super moon, the closest and largest the moon will appear this year. To the human eye it appears full tonight and will appear full Tuesday night as well. Three nights of full moon! I hope you get to enjoy it! 🌝

The Sunrise Movement, known for championing the Green New Deal, is expanding its mission to confront what it calls rising authoritarianism under the Trump administration, launching new campaigns to defend free speech, academic freedom, and protest rights.

Is this actually the authoritarian America that Justices Roberts and Barrett want for our country? It must be — because they are certainly enabling its creation and maintenance. The two of them. Just the two of them. History won’t remember them well, if real history is ever allowed to be written.

Justice Jackson’s dissent here is reasoned, humane, based on statutes and precedent, and a cry to our nation to understand that the Supreme Court is using its emergency docket corruptly to empower Trump’s authoritarian edicts, with no t even a pretense of explanation. Shame !

If the last year was one of voters being anti-incumbent while swinging nationalist right, the results in Moldova may signal the pendulum swinging back toward internationalism and anti-Putinism.

This is why newborns need hepatitis B vaccinations. 👇 Trump and Kennedy are peddling pure bunk! Read this, from the University of Michigan medical school. 👇👇

TODAY: The latest evidence of the corruption of the Supreme Court. Read Justice Kagan’s powerful two paragraph dissent — in stark contrast to the total silence of the majority, apparently fearing to display the obvious obeisance to Trump any explanation would necessitate.

Spot on! And hilarious. Lawyers love small print! Ha ha!

YES! More peaceful civil disobedience! 👇👇 Everywhere! All the time! If Repubs in Congress are sitting on their hands and the courts are going to remain blind to injustice, we must all resist, peacefully, but resist we must. MORE: 11 N.Y. Officials Arrested Trying to Access ICE Detention Cells

South Korea tells it like it is. Racism. And Republicans revel in it.

Trump’s Big Birth Control LIE “President Trump is committed to protecting the lives of unborn children all around the world. The administration will no longer supply abortifacient birth control under the guise of foreign aid.” LIE. Abortions end pregnancies. Birth control prevents pregnancies

Kirk should not have been murdered. No one should be. But being murdered should not result in Kirk being sane-washed. He was a white supremacist bigot misogynist who had no trouble with tens of thousands of innocent people, many of them women and children, being murdered in Gaza.

Don’t valorize him because he unfortunately was a victim. Mourn his violent death but don’t bury his life. Take a minute to read these…

Yep! He was raised by white Republican Christians. Not by some anti-Trump hippie libs.

Trump worship….

Trump said to this Zelinsky: “You do not hold any cards.“ Jack London: “Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.”

OF COURSE!!! 👇

FYI…. about all of these pro-Trump 2-1 opinions from the DC Court of Appeals, including the one today. In June, the three-judge motion panel, to which all urgent appeals were assigned, consisted randomly of two Trump nominees and one Biden nominee. 1/2

Israel never cared about its hostages. They were expendable. All Netanyahu has ever cared about is prolonging his hold in office as prime minister, by prolonging the war and even by sacrificing all the Israeli hostages. 👇👇 Israel’s Push for a Permanent Gaza Deal May Mean a Longer War, Experts Say

Really? Is Trump suffering some serious medical problem? If not, why lie about him playing golf?

This is just incredible! The family of Trump‘s Commerce Secretary to make millions and millions of dollars off of refunds for Trump‘s illegal tariffs! The family of Trump’s own Commerce Secretary has been betting against the Trump tariffs! There is no end of squalor and corruption here.

Completely unintentional and accidental, of course, because there is no misogyny or racism and iTrump administration! In Trump’s Federal Work Force Cuts, Black Women Are Among the Hardest Hit

Pritzker rising to the moment. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer need to resign. American democracy needs leaders who will fight, resist, and give it their all to save our nation. Writing strong letters will not get the job done, Chuck.

As Trump threatens to occupy more of our cities with the military, possibly intending to use them to interfere with a free and fair elections next year…. Read what George Washington told the American people as the American Revolution, near its beginning, threatened the liberty of the colonies:

Billy Crystal: Muhammad Ali was a bolt of lightning that illuminated the real world for us to see. He ran with the gods and laughed with the crippled. And he made all of our lives a little bit better. Oh, how we miss him today.

Hey, America! Why is it taking so long to come to you?

THIS 👇 may become critical to the survival of our democracy.

The NYT continues to sane-wash Trump! #Sanewash #Sanewashing

Read this spot-on gossip column about a “weak kneed“ 50-year-old Trump smitten by a 20 year-old Brit. More relevant details included! There’s a pattern here! No wonder Trump is panicked about what the Epstein files have to say about him.

Please read this 👇 Time is running out on preventing the Goliaths of the world from accumulating all the wealth, food, and weaponry that will lead to such inquality that societies will collapse.

Think about this! Pedophiles, especially when the victims are little girls, are always a great danger in prisons.

This is one of the most destructive things Trump has done, and he has done many. He did not like the weak report on new jobs that came out today, so he fired the woman he blames. We can be confident that every month going forward there will always be terrific jobs reports. Best ever seen!

Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh today at the 8th Circuit Judicial Conf in KC bragged he had helped increase the number of women law clerks on the Supreme Court by, among other means, calling law professors who recommended men and asking “who else do you have?“ DEI Affirmative Action! #DEI

The Medicare and Medicaid Act of 1965 On this date President Johnson came here to sign the Act into law at the Truman Library and to honor Former President Truman who had made healthcare a national issue and fought for it as a Senator and as President.
