@pbump.com Congratulations on your new gig. I’m sure it’ll pay better than running a substack. I’m happy for you! Will your new overlords let you come on MSnow and be smart, pleasant, interesting??? Will we still be able to see the first two paragraphs of what you write without a subscription?

Just remembering the letter Pete Hegseth’s mom sent him, calling him an abuser of women and telling him their family is “broken by your behavior and lack of character.”

Michelle Goldberg reminded us just now that Trump has actually bankrupted multiple casinos in his time!! We all kind of knew that, but it’s a good reminder right now as he bankrupts the U S of A right before our eyes with corruption that’ll be truly mind blowing when we learn the full extent of it.

He had help from the Soviet Union in destroying America.

@rhodesben.bsky.social I’ve probably told you this before, but you are my absolute number one favorite foreign policy talker on the whole effing Internet and TV. There’s only a handful of people that I will unmute whenever I see them no matter how depressing the news is and you are one! ❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾

Trump: "Davy Crockett, obviously a distant relative of Jasmine Crockett, and a very High IQ Frontiersman, would be proud of the legacy that he began long ago, and especially Jasmine’s Great Success as a Politician from the Great State of Texas! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

“We have so much gas under my leadership.” - Trump True.

@sifill.bsky.social Just watch you and Chris Hayes a second ago, and you all were so damn good tonight! The way you broke down Kavanagh’s seemingly semi-positive statement was just masterful! 😎💪🏾❤️🔥

@profmmurray.bsky.social As substitute Ari today on moon launch day: When the first guy said there were a little windows all day that they couldn’t launch due to of space debris it intrigued me! I wanted you to ask the assembled smarties what moon colonizing will do to this space debris problem!!

“sometimes Trump wakes up and says ‘how can I make things worse?’l Paul Rykoff on Nicole’s show just now. I’ve never heard it said quite so starkly and economically, but that is SO fucking true!. I just might drop the ‘sometimes’.

@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social Dang Michael Steele, you were worked up tonight!! You worked yourself into a fine lather on pretty much every topic! And I’m here for it. I thought it was great. Thank you! 🔥🔥

This is Jesse Owens at his gold medal ceremony after defeating Nazi Germany’s Luz Long at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

"U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington granted a preservationist group’s request for a preliminary injunction that temporarily halts President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project."

The labor market can be "roughly steady" with a lotta hiring matched by a lotta firing, or few fires matched by few hires. The U.S. is moving into a low hire-low fire equilibrium, which really hurts folks—the young, those (re-)entering the job market—who need new opportunities

“It’s not acceptable for one side of Congress to resemble a Klan cookout, and it’s also not acceptable for journalists to treat it as non-news.”

I’m getting serious Apocalypse Now vibes from today’s news that Trump is spending more time focusing on his illegal ballroom than he is on starting a land war in Asia this week. 😳😳

@timmiller.bsky.social with a message to Democrats: "This is the moment to go on Fox and say to people, 'you signed up for this—for no new wars, for lower costs. And we're in the stupidest war I could possibly think of, and everything is costing more, and it's about to get worse.'"

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

every so often, I rewatch this amazing 2-minute clip of Jane Fonda being interviewed about gay rights in 1979. her warmth, tone, and words are extraordinarily inspiring. “I hope they use me. What am I here for if not to be used by good people for good things?” www.youtube.com/watch?v=01wK...

protesting in this outfit is a real “heads I win, tails you lose” moment when it comes to the optics

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

Princeton showing up early...

In my darkest moments, I fear that this is how democracy dies. Not with a secret conspiracy conducted in the middle of the night. But with a brazen confession made public in the light of day. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

If you are in Congress & you cannot stand up to the president, you’ve lied to the people who voted for you. You simply do not belong in Congress.

When Democrats accuse Trump of a crime, it's because he actually did it. When Trump falsely accuses Democrats of a crime, it's because he actually did it.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

shoutout to this c-span caller

The Jetsons lied to us

I also find it unsettling when the term "president" precedes his name.

Trump closed the investigation of the guy that allegedly attempted to assassinate him… Let that shit sink in for a minute. Still think it wasn’t staged?!

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

Bernie Sanders has pulled one out for the books. He has suggested a reading of the Epstein files as a filibuster to the Save Act.

Well, JB PRITZKER For Possible President, Then........

huh. #time_flies ⌛

I think the last sentence is important. Because we, the good guys have to get a little tougher when this is over!!

@msnownews.bsky.social More Crooked media!!! Just one little old hour a weekend it’s not enough Crooked content for me. At least one different hour each day, maybe two!! They have enough podcasts, that should be really easy to do. The world would not miss a few dateline episodes each weekend 😆

“We” is doing a lot of work in this sentence.

Comparing the Democrats to a country he’s bombing. This is authoritarian demagoguery. If a Republican doesn’t denounce this, s/he is enabling it.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

Voting should be free. The SAVE Act is a tax and makes it costly. Married women must buy birth certificates at $15-$50, passports at $165, or citizenship papers at $550 just to register. This financial barrier targets 69 million American women directly. #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

Imagine if instead of spending $1 billion a day on forever wars, we actually invested in one of America's oldest and most popular public services. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/17/nx-s1-5750419/usps-running-out-of-money-postal-service-david-steiner

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M. Do you see how this works?

Reporter: “If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?” PA voter: “You're a worthless pile of shit.” Reporter: “How many times did you vote for him?” PA voter: “Three times. That was my bad. Apparently I'm an idiot.”

Trump wrote one of this trademark Truth Social posts 2 weeks ago saying he was about to endorse in the Texas GOP primary for Senate, & demanding the person he doesn't endorse drop out. The deadline for 'officially' dropping out & ending the runoff passed today with no Trump endorsement.
