Well okay. Exact same ‘oldie’ but with a new cover band … @maddow.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social Tell me again how this country doesn’t have a gun problem. Last week — San Diego. Now it’s the nation’s capitol, again.

@moulton.house.gov Thank you for your clarity & persistence in clearly defining how this Irani debacle is disorganized and without *any* reasonable justifications while questioning Adm Cooper. I am reminded of how I felt in the late 60’s/early 70’s. Why do we keep doing this?

Here’s a good plan, people. DNC needs to gather all the “statements” from J6 criminals, right wing election deniers, election officials claiming fraud & all those to come, eager to claim their fortunes from this WH slush fund. Then run a 2 minute AD in all 50 states for November & thru to 2028.

These are the times that try men’s souls. Astonishing new criminal crap gushes out the firehose seemingly hourly. I have noticed one good thing. Music. 📻 America sings when darkness covers the land. People of the BlueSky 🦋: I give you this. It’s cool to sing along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mFQ...

Our Days of Reckoning Are Here @marcelias.bsky.social Missouri ACLU pleads case against newly gerrymandered district(s) just prior to our August primaries and November General Elections. Three components will be determined by the Missouri Supreme Court. Not confident.

This GOP era we’re in reminds me of some ‘bad trips’ of the 60’s & Woodstock. (“Don’t take the brown acid …!”) Pretty sure I hear Rod Serling in the background. @nicollewallace.bsky.social This WH pardoned the “anti-American” group of “violent, secular political groups” from Jan6. What gives?

Apple joins the Dark Side … Seems the new corporate attitude is they don’t have enough money, so they’ve joined in the Microsoft business plan to abandon •software/app purchase• for the easily $ boosted $12.99 a month rent/lease plan. Current versions will no longer be supported 😳

Somebody tell Zuckerberg & META in general to •stop digging• Who in any job market would agree to having every keystroke, click & mouse movement recorded, mainly to train an AI Bot? Sheesh!

People … •• Please ••, Do Not Believe This Person @nicollewallace.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social How many times has this ex-Fox shill blatantly lied for personal gain or $ profit?

Fighting for a voice that Ann Wagner hasn’t & will not allow. @clairecmc.bsky.social Joan VonDras, 2nd District congressional candidate, bringing constituents’ voices back to Washington, D.C. www.stltoday.com/brandavestud...

Maybe it’s that I’m stressed the last year or so. Or perhaps it’s a lapse in my personal sanity. Better yet, it’s probably me and my ‘Porch Goose’ getting revved up for Cinco de Mayo - just to give ICE a good middle finger …

This Tuesday, the Commonwealth of Virginia will be choosing to redistrict congressional districts to have the chance of adding up to 4 ‘new’ democratic seats. Here’s the man who’s gotten in this struggle against what the GOP is trying to steal seats. Vote Virginia … youtube.com/shorts/IpTm8...

What? Wait … Isn’t this a ballroom? Like where people can dance? How much gaslighting can we endure until either they run out of lies to flood the zone, or we run them out of town with the ‘power of the people’s vote’?

People, we really have to do better than this. Tues, April 7th municipal election in St Louis Cnty - turnout on a beautiful day was just dismal. When I lived in Atlanta decades ago, Newt Gingrich taught me politics domination is born @ the local level. @clairecmc.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

On the rescue of the F-18 navigator confirmed just now, multiple news sources keep saying ‘pilots are trained for this event when in enemy territory’. I’m sorry. There are only a select few who think the Irani people are the enemy. Better, please refer to it as *hostile* territory.

I’ve been watching live TV shots of the White House hoping to catch a glimpse of a Pamela Bondi Perp Walk. @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social Don’t you think we all deserve a Pam Bondi Perp Walk? 🤷‍♂️

I suppose I should not be a bit surprised, but things like this (if true - who can be sure these days) are proof that **none** of us can be totally clear-eyed about who we share this fragile planet with … The phrase, “What were you thinking” pops into mind.

In the bedroom community of St Charles, metro area of St Louis, Republicans have not figured out how to override the public’s utter disgust at city & community elected officials they spent decades building an system to repeatedly elect.They’re clueless. @maddow.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social

I’m pretty sure I sense the smell of **fear** in the air. It’s one thing to be booed at an Army/Navy game or Super Bowl, but at a deep red annual CPAC ? These folks are so lost, they can’t see the train heading right toward them. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Nobody’s asked me … yet, but I’m all for making Congress - both houses - stay after “school” until they get to some kind of real agreement. Those of us out here in the real world understand that Republicans will fully own this debacle as reigning in ICE is at a 70% approval in most all polls. 🤷‍♂️

What’s wrong with this picture? Seems these Federal immigration agents are lost. They can’t find the TSA Security Checkpoints at the Atlanta Airport. Worse … Haven’t seen assault rifles worn by security staff since I flew internationally after September 11, 2001. ICE — Only the best recruits?

We live in interesting times. When we examine the darker, more weird corners of the beings that inhabit this planet, how can we be surprised that we’ve landed in this exact, deplorable, place? It explains so much about, well, us. Take this quip from the BBC -

Just heard from The Guy in Doral, Florida that we’re not “at war” anymore. Apparently, we’re just finishing up “an incursion.”

To threaten or not to threaten … When it comes to voter suppression tactics this year as the Administration’s poll numbers sink to the lowest possible, this is a clarion sign of panic and party-wide chaos. @maddow.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social

Meanwhile, on a back burner in the great State of Florida … @nicollewallace.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social The State GOP claims: “it would undertake "an internal review of this situation" and condemned "the repugnant comments,”’ Really?? Someone needs to check POTUS Truth Social Posts …

There’s growing momentum to subpoena Noem after she was fired to explain to Congress the graft & fraud in the $220M Ad contract. Really? She was just there and how exactly did *that* go? Lying to Congress is this WH’s favorite pastime … Under this DOJ, accountability is a joke.

These days, competition for “warehouse” space comes down to massive Data Centers to drain the water tables & stress the electrical grid — or — DHS/DOJ complexes paid for by our tax dollars to become ‘gulags’ to house citizens & immigrants alike. @clairecmc.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

These are the days that try men’s (& women’s) souls … Half of the Congressional Hearing panel seem perfectly fine with the twisted reality this nominee seems to preach. @clairecmc.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social I keep repeating this: There are NO alternate facts, just opinions …

Missouri GOP knows no bottom to their White Nationalism when it comes to the Administration’s **voter suppression** in order to steal the November’s election. @maddow.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social We are in deep, deep trouble.

Associated Press Photo of Marco Rubio in Congressional Testimony. @nicollewallace.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social It seems to indicate that he’s “The Honorable” - casting doubt on the entire proceeding. Who’s in charge of printing up these ID signs anyway? The Honorable ? **Really!**

Minnesota Matters! @maddow.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social Minnesota Matters!

Best sign I’ve seen over the weekend was in single digit temperatures in Minneapolis “Your Racism is the total opposite of Patriotism’ 👆🏻THAT - times a zillion

Friday “truth(sic)social” post from the all-knowing leader of this great nation … This child just has absolutely no idea of how this planet works. So very, very sad (for us).

Can’t put this in any better PC or flowery terms … Damn. I just **LOVE** the people of Minneapolis. "They got the guns, but we got the numbers … “

Minneapolis is screaming out loud - the mayor, state reps, the governor - that this is only a test for stress. If left unchecked - & not stopped - every state, county, city or town will be next. And the America we should love & honor disappears.

The seeds of Nationalism have always been woven through our culture. It underlies this headline from 100 years ago today about support for the League of Nations. It reduces to “we don’t trust or want anyone else’s opinions.”

All you people out there waiting for this WH to deliver on what was ‘promised’, you are so hopeless. This group is missing any sense of sincerity, truthfulness, compassion or just plain humanity

Earlier, came across a talking head airing Jesse Ventura saying we are now a 3rd world country - we use ‘military’ on the streets for police purposes. I’m lucid enough to recall the DOD dumping ex Desert Storm combat hardware on local law enforcement. Looked like an army to me. Posse Comitatus??

Hundreds march in Clayton to protest Trump administration after Minneapolis ICE shooting @maddow.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social www.stltoday.com/news/local/g...

I had forgotten this. One biological unit’s psychopathic **need** to name things after himself. I’m pretty sure The National Mall is going to be needing new signage before long … Just Sayin’ 💁‍♂️ @clairecmc.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Falling forward into a whole new year that seems eerily just like the last, I think it’s worth considering AI taking over corners of our lives we don’t even realize. @chrislhayes.bsky.social What part of ‘artificial’ don’t you understand? This path should not be normalized.

Because it is the season for sharing, passing along this YouTube of the very best Blues ‘n Ballad guitarist *nobody knows*. I remember the day I heard he died on tour in Europe. Gary Moore played w/ J Bonamassa, John Mayall, BB King, Clapton … all of them. Enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNoS...

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I eventually had to read the full speech by an aging, angry man from last night. I have some observations. @chrislhayes.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social Seems the man doth protest too much. Unloading criminals on our streets is *exactly* what’s he’s doing now.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social You have come to be among my very favorite people these days. Please post on YouTube under MS NOW the last block of today’s (Dec 15th) show with Ian & Eddie. I need my friends & family to see/hear the segment from the last block - some badly need it on auto-repeat.

My holiday message to all of you as a bit of hope for the season. Just finished Aaron Sorkin’s The American President. Take the next 5 minutes and enjoy President Shepherd’s last speech in the WH Press Room @ the end of the movie. Seems to have a certain ring to it. youtu.be/-__djIQgBJc?...

Missouri AG goes nuclear @marcelias.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social Hanaway advertises Black Friday Shoppers could be accosted by a group “under investigation” to sign a petition for redistricting ballot measure. I think they’re getting nervous

DOGE is dead, but let’s be clear. All of your government records are hoisted up the mainmast for Musk, Palantir or any domestic or foreign black hat to buy and taunt (or rob) you for decades to come. We all can thank the Republicans & this administration. 🤨

Sounds sorta familiar, eh? @maddow.msnbc.com @clairecmc.bsky.social I’m old enough to remember when a certain guy screamed about countries emptying out their prisons of criminals & dumping them in America. Today’s 77 pardons cements the truth that this is exactly what’s going on right here.

Confused? I am. Is this a conundrum or an enigma? Seems the R’s deep state, 1,500 miles apart, are trying to both deny Missouri a ballot initiative to block a new district map, while in Calif they are suing to keep a new map *off* the ballot! I mean, what? @clairecmc.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com
