@msnownews.bsky.social and Versant, Why can’t you retain the settings I set when I opt out on your trailing my entire online presence? Every time I want to view something you re-prompt again. @nicollewallace.bsky.social, @chrislhayes.bsky.social, @maddow.bsky.social, @stephruhle.bsky.social, Help!

Watching Raffy Cruz bloviating in the Noem Oversight Committee meeting I see he remains the most disingenuous, hypocritical cynic in the United States government. It’s no wonder he continues to be the most hated person in Congress. It’s not even close. Not 1 decent cell in that waste of human flesh.

Here in New Jersey we’re expecting a dusting of snow over the next day or so. It’s just raining now. Perhaps I should panic and go out for some milk and bread since I may not be able to for a month or so.

I couldn’t watch the whole hearing but in the parts I saw I didn’t observe a single Dem asking her if she could smile more. She excelled at not answering their questions, even ‘difficult’ yes/no ones and was quick in finding her cheat sheet deflection talking points in her individualized notes. 👀

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wow. trump: Draft dodging ‘strong’ man. Rambling incoherent nonsense for much of his speech. Falling asleep during general’s briefing. Hegseth: nothing but false bravado. General: ass kissing session filled with unnecessary bloviation. Rubio: similar ass kissing but on steroids.

@msnowreports.bsky.social, Why in the world are you airing this blithering idiot’s lies. It’s utter nonsense. Stop it. Responsible journalists would summarize the lies after he has finished. Nothing he is saying is true. Airing it is a disservice to the American people. About time. Finally. 12:06.

No Kings 2 Protests in Red areas of New Jersey @maddow.msnbc.com

Sunday reading: I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves. This week’s piece:

✈️👀 Eswatini third country removal - again

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Kimmel Indefinitely suspended by ABC. Under the trump regime, the first amendment is on its deathbed.

RFK, Jr. lying during testimony in a Senate hearing. ‘We will only tell the truth to the American people.’ Senate GOP questioners ignoring reality, lying and offering only softball questions. We are rapidly becoming a third world country under Dear Leader trump. It’s really sad how far we’ve fallen.

@maddow.msnbc.com Lakewood, NJ in deep red Ocean County, New Jersey. Small but enthusiastic, peaceful Labor Day protest against the fascist trump regime.

@maddow.msnbc.com Labor Day protest. Red Ocean County, Lakewood, NJ. Not quite 100 people at the peak attendance level but, as always, peaceful and enthusiastic. Attendees told me previous protests maxed out at 40-50 people here. The numbers steadily increase over time. Next closest was in Trenton

The first time I saw the Colbert Report my initial reaction was WTF is this? Then I saw my first “The Word” segment and I was hooked. Fast forward… I always choose Colbert’s monologue over Kimmel’s even though JK’s are always good, too. As bleak as things have been since 2016 SC always makes me…

No Kings -Toms River NJ @maddow.msnbc.com Decent Crowd of several thousand in deep red Ocean County. Positive, enthusiastic , celebratory event. Not as diverse as Asbury Park earlier in the day but very encouraging. Edited out last 7 secs in Google photos. Saved copy failed to show in Apple app

@maddow.msnbc.com Being on only on Mondays might cut into your showing resistance pics and vids but here are some from today’s event in Trenton.

@maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Trenton, NJ Last night’s Donnie 2 Dolls showed up and later tonight I saw it on MSNBC. I think it’s a keeper.

@maddow.msnbc.com In very RED Atlantic City there was a very enthusiastic crowd this afternoon. Side note: NJ gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka was there with a message of unity. We all need work together to stop the ‘fascist takeover’. My phrasing.

@maddow.msnbc.com Two weeks ago it was Toms River and Red Bank, NJ. Today it was Galloway and Atlantic City. Smaller crowds but big enthusiasm. I attribute that to Easter weekend. From Galloway:

Hands Off! Toms River NJ @maddow.msnbc.com Driving to a different protest in Red Bank I was unable to take a picture until I reached a red light. At least 1000 peaceful protesters a local VA facility. Toms River is notoriously red. This was impressive. Most of the people were behind me.

Hands Off! Red Bank, NJ A few thousand vocal, peaceful protesters. @maddow.msnbc.com
