I'll be doing an (atypically-timed!) Rachel Maddow Show tonight -- Friday night -- at 8PM Eastern on MSNBC. Then right after, at 9PM, it's the premier of our new documentary: "Andrew Young: The Dirty Work"... See you then!

This is what democracy looks like.

A reminder that Trump and his supporters violently attacked the seat of our democracy in 2021. Same people who are trying to frame "No Kings" protesters as the hate America crowd.

"Chris, I want to be 100% clear for everybody watching that we did not pay one single dime to all these Republicans to give us all this publicity.” - Ezra Levin of Indivisible

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET HIM TO DROP THIS FULL COVER VERSION OF "1000 MILES?!?!" I NEED THIS IN MY VEINS!!!!

“…dare I say…” Oh hell yes. You dare say. Wish everyone would. Thank you @governor.ca.gov

"He admires dictators and wishes to be one..." Because you love America, and because there are #NoKings, protest peacefully. #LoveAmericaRally

An aggressive rock has been removed from a parking lot in Aurora where it repeatedly attacked drivers.

Trump/MAGA: We're killing jobs! We're killing people! "Well, that's unfortunate"

Keep 'em coming #EpsteinFiles

CA, there’s only one box to check on the Prop 50 ballot > YES

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing. www.rawstory.com/dr-phil-trump/

"Freedom of speech has a point. It is there so people can speak truth to power. Often that truth is spoken first by young people." snyder.substack.com/p/gaza-and-p...

So Trump is sitting there praising the Egyptian dictator who allegedly paid him a $10 million bribe and blithering on about how Egypt takes care of its "crime" problems unlike the United States Here's how Egypt handles its "crime" problems

We need work requirements for Congress.

“I exercise to prevent CVD and dementia.” “I don’t smoke because, it causes lung cancer and heart disease & makes everything smell.” Ok… so instead you choose to freely breathe in the biohazard that causes vascular disease, brain damage, AIDS-like conditions, and loss of smell. Make it make sense

1. Before 2020, I never, ever remember getting sick being portrayed as a good thing. "Most people will get one or two respiratory infections every year. In some ways, it's a *good thing* when you are a child or healthy adult". *my emphasis. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Northwest Chicago Suburb: ICE Agents Rip 15-Year-Old Girl from Car, Slam Her to Ground She Screams “I’m 15!” as Man Kneels on Her Neck

Right — “Bloody Sunday” in 1965 in Selma, but ALSO ABC interrupting ‘Judgment at Nuremberg’ to show Bloody Sunday to the nation

Fucking beautiful! With my youngest as first chair violin, I absolutely love to see and show him as well, the seat at the table left empty just for him. What he can do and achieve with his talent. Being a part of moments like this that inspire and spread joy….

every single dem should be taking notes. this is how you message around trans issues (of note: i believe he is the only cis candidate for office to have trans people consult on his lgtbq+ policy platform)

"...nonstop terror and helicopters and random kidnappings..."

This is why one of my mantras is 'politics itself can be a biological risk'. Wildfowl migration has already begun in North America, which will mean a significant increase in H5N1 infections in poultry, dairy cattle and humans. Yet politics is dismantling the defence. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.

Dear Kristie Noem. This is my dad, Jack Bachom. He was one of the founders of Antifa

Trump's fascist thugs keep assaulting Chicago's journalists, hoping to cover up the regime's violence and cruelty.

Sometimes nowadays Watergate can feel almost quaint, but this is a good refresher on Nixon's corruption and poor character, and how Nixon wrote the playbook in many ways for Trump: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

gofund.me/4e07458b9 I was advised to apply to more general surgery programs as well. They are more inclined to look at candidates even after the initial release date! Anything helps keep sharing And make my categorical resident dream come true. Venmo: jbrisbon11 each app is $30 #medsky

Israeli forces have abducted over 500 peace activists over the past week who were sailing to Gaza in an effort to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged territory. www.democracynow.org/2025/10/9/ga...

in 40 years of covering politics and government, i've never encountered anyone as sinister as Stephen Miller my @zeteo_news column please read, share and subscribe zeteo.com/p/who-is-ste...

🧵

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

👀

NEW: The Supreme Court seemed wary of making it easier for candidates to challenge election laws during oral arguments today in a case against Illinois' mail-in voting. A GOP congressman is urging the justices to let him sue after his case was tossed for lack of standing by a lower court.

This is a five alarm fire. Serious implications here: a sitting governor saying basically that the U.S. president is planning to use the military to overthrow democracy in America.

Some one is getting desperate. Release the Epstein files. www.cnn.com/2025/10/07/p...

Need some good news? Here's some now!

3/ I wasn't far off this a.m. when I suggested that Pammy's plan was to make a list of every Dem Senator along with corresponding false accusations. bsky.app/profile/deni...

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations. The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel). "The party of small government,” folks.

My quote of the day In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Those three words perfectly sum up the priorities of Donald Trump and the soulless ghouls running his administration: RFK, Jr., Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Russ Vought, and so on. Indeed, FUCK THEM KIDS might as well be Trump’s 2028 campaign slogan." #FTK
