BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

I hope @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com welcomes you soon to @lastword.msnbc.com!

Overnight, House Republicans passed a budget that would give huge tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Now, it's on to the Senate. Call your senators and demand they do everything in their power to stop this theft: 202-224-3121

"What's to stop a foreign government, eager to bribe the American president, from quietly dumping money into Trump’s crypto project, effectively making direct payments to the president without public disclosure? Nothing." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social -- Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

Cory Booker just spoke to reporters at the Capitol: "I was very aware of Strom Thurmond's record since I've gotten to the Senate. I always thought it was a strange shadow to hang over this institution. ... It always seemed wrong to me." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Congratulations to Wisconsin’s newest Supreme Court Justice, Susan Crawford! The voters spoke loud and clear: Wisconsin is not for sale.

Feel like maybe @booker.senate.gov read The Sirens’ Call? Or at least he got the gist!

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

“Any time that Strom Thurmond and his kind can be pushed deeper into the dustbin of history, it is a good day for America. The fact that it happened during the presidency of the modern Strom Thurmond, Donald Trump, is a bonus.” @karijerge.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

There are lots of new details about Cory Booker's speech in our TPM writeup about his record. He set out to do this about a week ago. He brought on a former staffer who led a team that helped him fill over a dozen binders with 1,164 pages of material. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

“In this democracy, the power of people is greater than the people in power.” -Senator Cory Booker

do you think Cory Booker can make it for 3 years and about 10 months longer?

Okay now Sens. Cory Booker and Chris Coons (a Yale Divinity School grad) are literally just having a lengthy discussion of scripture and the Bible on the Senate floor right now. Religious left: still a thing.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

There’s no reason to go to this thing.

This is exactly what his campaign tariff policy promised. He was promising to destroy the market & the economy. But most campaign reporters didn’t comprehend that.

Go Cory Go!

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

At least 2 faith groups are represented at the Trans Day of Visibility Rally happening on the National Mall at the moment — Interfaith Alliance Bend and Bend the Arc Jewish Action — and Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, head of the ELCA, issued a video message to mark the day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba52...

🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender Day of Visibility I am in awe of the courage it takes to live authentically when transgender, nongender-conforming, and nonbinary people's rights are being threatened. Join me in fighting for a world where everyone can live with dignity and without fear.

Absolutely chilling interview by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social in the New Yorker. Their strategy is to break the institutions that serve as pillars of our democracy — media, judiciary, lawyers, Dems’ ability to raise money & mobilize volunteers — to ensure we can’t win elections. We must stop them.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

@karaswisher.bsky.social: "Every accusation is a confession with these people... Elon is exactly what they claim to have hated with George Soros. But he's explicit and right in front of you buying elections."

Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."
