When coward Mike Johnson and his clown posse of pitiful republicans finally come back to Congress, we need to make sure this is the first thing they do.

Thank you, Dan McGowan! @danmcgowan.bsky.social

It’s been clear from the outset that Trump wants to please and placate Putin in all things, including the wishy washy non-strategy on Ukraine. And now we have the leaked audio to confirm. Non-diplomat Witkoff as chief negotiator? This is government by nincompoops. GOP Congress: do your job!

#msnow It just seems Nicole and guests are showing a little too much “irrational exuberance“ over Trump-Mamdani meeting. Wait till his mood changes, or one of his hate-whisperers gets to him. He’s happy for any distraction from his troubles and gaffes: Epstein, polls, death threats on Dems.

Today is World Kindness Day, "highlights the power of kindness — to others, to yourself, and to the world." "Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” Henry James

"The illusion of happiness derived from a comfortable life pushes many people towards a vision of life centered on the accumulation of wealth and social success at all costs, even at the expense of others (11)." #PopeLeoXIV #DilexiTe #RememberThePoor

My sign and scenes from protest in Providence RI. #NO KINGS!

From this week’s Restore Democracy update. Pick a protest and GO!

He’s broken so many norms, and the guardrails we thought would hold have collapsed. Should we be appalled that it’s finally happened, or astonished that the whole framework stood for so long?

Re-posting in light of mass firings. Institutional memory, our collective cultural history, the expertise and learned knowledge of thousands — discarded blithely by the proudly ignorant. Our national tragedy.

Plunderdome.

Pope Leo yesterday: “Someone who says ‘I’m against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life, someone who says that ‘I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”

Is Stephen Miller the president now?

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

President JFK, SOTU address, 1/31/61: “Let it be clear that this administration recognizes the value of dissent and daring, that we greet healthy controversy as the hallmark of healthy change.” We must not ever forget what strong aspirational leadership is.

@msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social Are you all going to sail right past this glaring error of judgment and not address it at all? Especially when you’re giving so much air time to the Kimmel situation??? Hoping there are “behind the scene“ discussions.

He does this constantly, most recently to the Australian reporter who asked him about self-dealing in office. When the stupid and greedy can’t defend themselves and answer honestly, they resort to insults.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in...I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 25:35-36)." #LiveTheGospel #ShareGodsLove #PrayForAmerica www.boston.com/news/local-n...

@msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com When will journalists stand up and tell the truth that Pres Donald J Trump is the chief fomenter of violent disgusting language that leads to violence? Why is truth-telling punished? Shame on MSNBC. @matthewjdowd.bsky.social

@nicollewallace.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I mean, it’s all horrible but shouldn’t the revelations about T’s 1st term murderous blunder in N Korea and the recent outright murder of humans off the Venezuelan coast get top coverage???

Today is International Literacy Day, "to remind policy-makers, practitioners, and the public of the critical importance of literacy for creating more literate, just, peaceful, and sustainable society."

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social Sorry to bring this here but I’m a paid subscriber and emailed column won’t let me comment; Substack doesn’t list you on my paid list. Any idea how to get this fixed? (Substack no help; it’s almost as if they’ve joined the “worthless scribblers” brigade.

"Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others." --Abraham Lincoln, 1838 www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...

As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

I don’t think the Nobel committee gives out peace prizes to deranged despots who want to call their defense departments the Department of War—and who intend to arrogantly ignore the role of Congress to approve such a name change.

I mean, not to be picky, but previous upheavals of democracy were led by people of Prof Moriarty-level intelligence and intrigue. They were Caesarian, Machiavellian, Napoleonic, Stalinesque. Ours will be seen in history as a bunch of incompetents; the GOAT of democracy destroyed by idiocy.
