The news is exhausting and today I have had it. The Trump administration wants us to believe it’s perfectly fine to ask if the 14th amendment to THE CONSTITUTION is in fact CONSTITUTIONAL. That’s crazy.

NEW: The provision in the GOP tax bill that makes it easier to get gun silencers, rifles and shotguns violates Senate rules and has to come out, says the Senate rules ref www.huffpost.com/entry/gun-si...

Last night I said Michael was raining on the Democrats’ parade re: the NYC mayoral primary and he said it was a parade walking in circles 😭🤣 Come for the banter and stay for the reminder that democrats have figured out what works for them post 2024.

The people aren’t with the same old same old. They know they deserve more and want it. They want candidates who actually knock on doors and earn votes. They want something to vote for and not just against. They want a vision and an understanding of their issues - like the rent being too damn high.

What the Trump Administration is not saying about taking military action in Iran is actually very telling. In my experience, the comms strategy is a choice. We can learn a lot if we just pay attention.

The Iran deal the Obama Admin negotiated (JCPOA) took years and had the involvement of many other countries. Our current president thought he could negotiate a better deal in less than 6 months, alone with a real estate investor as his lead negotiator.1/

In just shy of 6 months in office, Trump has done many of the things he claimed he would never do and just about nothing that he promised he would.

‘You don't love a country more because you have a big flag': @michaelsteele.bsky.social rips Trump for flag obsession

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

Tonight we had a good old fashioned kitchen table conversation about President Obama, Dems and speaking out in this moment. Thoughts?

The proverbial middle finger to lawmakers and the Constitution from the Oval Office is what you shouldn’t miss from this evening. PS - The in-person work EO isn’t controversial. It’s good for the small business owners in the District!!

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Lots of tradition and pomp and circumstance today, but a reminder that what we heard in President Trump’s inauguration speech was not normal and his comments after are not just “rhetoric”

Pam Bondi previously served as Florida’s Attorney General. The question on the table isn’t about her qualifications, it’s about her judgement. She is a 2020 election denier. There are many questions:

Harry Truman was born in 1884.

A lovely afternoon www.essence.com/awards-event...

I was booked on the 11am today to analyze Trump’s presser, but we never got on tv (because he spoke for an hour 😆) but watch for what I think was one of the most important questions and a very concerning answer

Donald Trump celebrated the architect of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election at Mar-a-Lago Saturday night. @symonedsanders.bsky.social and @michaelsteele.bsky.social call this celebration “sickening.”

If Kamala Harris can get up there and do her job in front of the world with grace and grit like this then the rest of us have no excuses. Absolutely none.

@symonedsanders.bsky.social Unequivocally!' MSNBC's Symone Sanders-Townsend Says Biden 'Is Great Mentally' Unlike Trump mediaite.com/a/pylar The Corporate MEDIA knows this as well. Thank you for saying this!

The feud is really about the billionaire class vs economic inequality & should be uniting us all. RICH PEOPLE AREN’T HERE FOR YOU “I would like white Americans to stand up…where is your banner because they’re coming for you. They said y’all white and lazy. That’s crazy.” Symone Sanders #TheWeekend

The Weekend on MSNBC starts right now.

Speaker Johnson's grip on power is slipping and it shows. Rep. @casten.house.gov points out that while Republicans caucus together, “they don’t like each other."

“He is a boy...and he is going to break a lot of things.” DNC Chair contender @martinomalley.bsky.social slams Elon Musk for treating Americans like his "new toy."

Elon Musk is frustrated by the ‘President Musk’ moniker, according to @kateconger.com. “The fact that he is aware that this is going to be a friction point between him and the President-elect and is trying to push back on that speaks volumes.”

“Elon Musk is a character in the sequel in the film that I didn’t like the first time around” @aliciamenendez.bsky.social shares her concerns with Elon Musk’s involvement in U.S. government.

“I’m in the race, I’m in it for change, I’m in it for leadership, and I’m in it to win” Rep. Joyce Beatty announces her candidacy for DNC Vice Chair.

The president of House Democrats’ PAC, Mike Smith, calls out the ‘dysfunction’ and ‘chaos’ of congressional Republicans and promises a “robust accountability effort” to primary GOP seats in competitive districts.
