I’m not sure which element in this pic prompted the WH forcing its deletion from Getty - but even the lad looks mad. He’s probably vegan. The WH doesn’t want anyone to share this - so please don’t.

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

Geez - it sounds so effing romantic in French. Senator Claude tellin it like it is!

Somewhere in the North Korean Propaganda Ministry an official winces and says: “That’s a bit much.”

Get up - Stand up! Stand up for your rights.

Hey “mainstream” media. Can you please try harder to avoid this kind of whitewashing? He didn’t “keep” “classified” documents. He intentionally STOLE hundreds of very top top secret national secrets. He didn’t even bother to protect them once he stole them. Stop normalizing criminality.

Hey y’all! You wanna brighten your day? Suggest to a self described conservative Christian that James Talarico may actually BE the second coming of Jesus Christ. Maybe that’s why Pete “Whitey” Hegseth’s psyco-minister Brooks Potteiger is trying to get him martyred. Talarico IS Jesus. Pass it on.

@msnowreports.bsky.social @msnowcomms.bsky.social What are you thinking? Do you enjoy making your audience less intelligent? Why are you carrying this insane sociopath live???

@schumer.senate.gov @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Senator - you’re misquoting the statistics. In THIRTY years - almost 2 BILLION VOTES - Only seventy seven non citizens have voted. Only 10 undocumented immigrants have voted. In THIRTY YEARS. We don’t have voter fraud. We have election fraud.

Trump took away our incentives and replaced them with a larger incentive.

Ironic isn’t it? The reason Trump isn’t serving a prison term RIGHT NOW - is because Robert Mueller lived his life following the rules. Lived his life with honor and dignity. Trump is blowing up kids today because Mueller was an honorable man - and this is how Trump thanks him and his family.

Not joking. You could put any competent college journalist into Kristen Welker’s chair and they’d do a 1000% better job of hosting Meet the Press. What a tragic disrespect to the memory of Tim Russert. #nbc #meetthepress #mtp

Name one professional-grade a-hole who’s worked through several Republican administrations to screw our country up to the point we’re at today: Frank Fucking Luntz.

When it happens the global party to celebrate is going to potentially cause earthquakes.

Jim Acosta testified before Congress today warning that a pending merger could hand CNN to Trump-aligned billionaires. He’s never stopped speaking truth to power, even when it cost him. We’re grateful someone is still saying it out loud. Share if you believe in a free press. @jimacosta.bsky.social

Now republicans are quoting @schumer.senate.gov because he was dumb enough to claim that democrats are fine with Voter ID. Of course- Chuck Schumer doing everything he can to help republicans create roadblocks for American voters. We prove who we are WHEN WE REGISTER. And voter fraud doesn’t happen.

JFC. If it’s not a sociopath with the codes - it’s government using AI to spy on American citizens. Call your members and tell them if they vote to make this happen - they’re finished.

the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

Hey Katy Tur let’s make sure you ask every Republican guest about the national debt. Trump added 8T his first term when he supposedly had “adults in the room.” This time he’s going to add more than 8T. So any tax policy Democrats put forward HAS TO BE BETTER than what Republicans have done.

If Jeffries was a LEADER - he’d be going with democrats in congress out to red states to speak directly to red state voters *who have never been told the truth - ever.* Pretend each town hall is a grand jury hearing. Show the public the receipts. Explain how trump’s administration is hurting them.

TRUMP IN ONE SINGLE EVENT - "They won't be there for us" - "We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already" - "This isn't 'need'" - "If we need anything, they should be jumping to help us" - "We want them to come & help us w/the strait" - My attitude is we don't need anybody"

#msnow Kristen Welker said that on the phone - trump said that he didn’t anticipate that Iran would attack its neighbors in the Middle East. I think trump and Marco Rubio need to talk, since that’s literally the reason Marco said we attacked Iran BECAUSE they would attack if Israel bombed them.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."

Democrats - this is how you do it.

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

Eight Things You Need to Know About the Trump-Backed So-Called “Save America Act” By Jennifer Cohn, 3/13/26

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Given her penchant for plagiarism- I’m willing to bet Melania is channeling Hedley Lamarr from Blazing Saddles? youtu.be/Fxf5GDZ_o1w

BREAKING: Per WaPo, a new whistleblower report alleges a former DOGE member said he kept his SSA computer & credentials, giving him “God-level” access to Social Security systems. Meanwhile, Trump wants to force every state to rely on SSA data for voter roll purges under the SAVE America Act. 1/

I just saw a cute cover of this song by Harry Stiles. Peter Gabriel is twice his age plus a decade - and still rocks the song the way it should be sung. Sledgehammer. youtu.be/vQBfTUO4gHg

I guess it’s added pain since he took away all the incentives to switch to EVs. Ironically - trump choosing to blow up oil refineries and stopping oil freighters in transit - *is* itself an amazingly effective incentive to switch to EVs. Gotta look for the silver lining.

Interesting that between Israel and Gaza - history began in October of 2023. And that between USA, Israel and Iran - history began 47 years ago. I wish there was some uniformity.

@nbcnews.com Does Kristen Welker have any idea how ridiculous it is to ask a question of the Iranian representative that begins with “President Trump says…” Is she the only person on earth who hasn’t yet figured out that *nothing* our president says is true? He should have laughed in her face.

Haven’t checked gas prices in almost 10 years.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social You’re talking about “I would vote for “X” but I’m worried they don’t have enough support.” Exactly that is happening in the IL 9th. North side of Chicago. Mike Simmons is by far the best person for Congress. But people are going to vote for other candidates.

Katy Tur: “Is the middle of a war the best time to fire your DHS secretary?” When the DHS secretary is corrupt incompetent and unqualified for the job - THE ANSWER IS YES.

@colorado.gov Excuse me Governor / but Tina Peters committed a crime against *every* *single* *American* when she tried to meddle in our elections. Not a local crime. It’s a crime with national security consequences. NO Clemency.

Remember the “$500 Hammer?” Well that’s just an easy-to-understand metaphor for a $1,000,000,000,000 Defense Department budget. We spend 10X what our enemies spend combined - but we’re out of missiles three days into a war with a country only 2X the size of Texas.

This hearing with Noem. Republicans = bootlickers. Democrats asking hard hitting questions like: “Will you join me in condemning this ICE officer? (Talking about the woman shot 5 times in Chicago.) Then they both talk on mic at the same time until the questioner’s time is up. And “Joe Biden”

We deserve to see what our elected representatives vote for re:Iran It’s OUR tax money. It’s OUR family members at risk. It’s OUR reputation in the world. Congress has to show us that they approve of this insanity and why they do. That way we can throw them the hell out, next election. #sendbarron

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran. Unreal.

Hey Scott Jennings: You have spent your career lying about stuff we can all see with our own eyes. So don’t try to tell us anything about anything. Especially this new war of choice. We. Don’t. Believe. You.

Pet Peeve Saturday: Don’t say “like your Jasmine Crocketts or your AOCs or your Jamie Raskins.” There are no plural names. lol There’s only one Jasmine Crockett. There’s only one AOC. There’s only one Jamie Raskin. Don’t be like all your lazy commenters.

Who’s gonna tell Sasquatch?

It’s #caturday again! “Nobody can see me.”

Hey @msnowreports.bsky.social @ms.now @msnowcomms.bsky.social Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not making me listen to Alex Witt ask stupid questions of serious people, about this situation in the Middle East. Reassuring to hear Rachel Maddow’s voice and intellect instead.

Hey yall. I’m time stamping this post. Everyone says they can’t understand why HRC was called to testify yesterday. It’s because the Republicans think she’s gonna run for president in 2028. I think so too. And I think she’s going to win.

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

Hey Chicago! Why haven’t we heard of this? @wgntv.com @nbcnews.com #chicagosveryown

Calling out an individual for his corruption and war crimes does not = antisemitism. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Howdy Karen. Fellow Chicagoan here - you gave me a fright today when you made the remark about Rashida Talib. Please don’t put things out there that will divide us this year. Pleeeeeeaaassseee. That’s going to be my whole thing this year - working to stop anti-trump @kiresists.bsky.social
