Being awarded tonight! Congratulations, Rachel. #maddow

Let's preview how the discourse around "political violence" is going to be exploited going forward. When lawless thugs brutalize the citizenry of Blue cities on Trump's orders, that will be "law enforcement." If citizens do anything to resist, that will be "political violence."

#maddow I'm gonna be honest here and say I was disappointed in Kamala Harris playing safe politics and not answering many of Rachel's questions at all. Caution of a candidate? Perhaps. But not what the times demand.

MAGA DOJ New Standards: 50K cash in bag to Trumpster — not suspicious. Epstein “suspicious activity reports”— not suspicious. UAE backroom deals with Trumps — not suspicious. Democrats’ mortgages — totally suspicious.

This still seems relevant! And I’m going to give away the punchline of this post I published *Tuesday* — before the whole Kimmel ABC fiasco: End subscriptions that reinforce everything bad that’s going on right now and pay for indie media & creativity (if you can) www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The FCC Chair saying “You can deal with Kimmel the easy way or the hard way” is the very definition of a chilling effect on speech, and a good indicator the First Amendment is a dead letter in the Trump regime. Free speech is dying in America and none of our free speech warriors seem to care

I don''t know...hasn't it been suggested that MAGA is about eugenics? Only the strongest survive? #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com

My theory has been that Trump & Company believe if they fire everyone, then Trump hires them back, he'll be seen as the great benevolent dear leader and people will be so grateful, they'll cooperate going forward. #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com

The question I don't see getting explored is Trump and his entire administration inept or are they dismantling the country for a specific purpose. And I don't mean as Putin's puppet, I mean as a different long range planning? #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com

Rachel, I would guess Trump has backed off on Chicago for the reasons you said, PLUS that they are weaponizing the murder of Charlie Kirk to rile people up and then accuse them of violence so he can falsely claim the need for military intervention. #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com

You’ve put over 1,000 events on the No Kings Day map in under a week. Find your local peaceful protest, start a new event, and find everything you need to know about the next nationwide day of defiance on October 18: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

There is a clutch of pundits who treat the world like it’s an Ivy League seminar course, mostly because that’s the environment in which they emerged. They think debate and white papers are the pinnacle of political action. They fume at anyone who approaches politics in any other way.

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

This nation has never been safer for white supremacists, pedophiles and white collar criminals.

Rules

This makes me feel calm immediately.

Boycott the Kennedy Center Awards. MAGA can't create good culture without the rest of us.

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including: -42 consumer protection cases at CFPB -20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ -6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC -7 crypto cases at SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

They want someone to throw a brick, and if they come to New York or Chicago in particular I think they'll get it. And then the problems will really start.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

blue sky is definitely becoming the place for historians and scientists tbh

"The politicians who are ready to incarcerate unhoused people, and “compromise” on trans rights and on the safety of our immigrant neighbors, have helped deliver us to this moment. They will not save us." organizingmythoughts.org/must-reads-a...

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

Not only is today’s employment report uniquely bad, but revisions to the prior months show that, on average, we have seen 35k net new jobs created for the last 3 months: JAN: +111K FEB: +102K MAR: +120K APR: +158K MAY: +19K JUN: +14K JUL: +73K No way to put lipstick on this pig.

There goes every Fox News narrative. popular.info/p/the-secret...

I don't know Rachel, no great mystery to me. They are using the Epstein files to blackmail GOP members and other deep pocket titans of business in order to ensure their support. Of COURSE they aren't going let that golden ticket go. #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com

JD Vance said the only thing that mattered about this bill was that they get the ICE funding. This is the really 5-alarm fire with this Ugly bill, the other cuts matter, but they don't happen until 2026. Trump's gestapo is forming NOW.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

This is seriously terrifying. And once the American people get over the shock, they won't stand for it.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I thought they couldn't possibly top separating children from their families at the border, AND THEN LOSING THEM, but it seems Stephen Miller saw that as a challenge. #Inners

We have to support @marcelias.bsky.social, his @democracydocket.com, the @aclu.org and others fighting for free and fair elections. #inners

Yes, the tax cuts are outrageous and the cuts in Medicaid don't go into effect until 2026, but what we really need to focus on is the grotesque sums of money going to ICE--Trump is building his own enforcer army and we're paying for it. #Inners @chrislhayes.bsky.social

The only thing Trump cares about is performative opportunities--he wanted to sign this piece of crap on 4th of July. Didn't matter if Congress needed another month to "fix" the bill or if most of them think it stinks to high heaven, TRUMP DEMANDED to have a bill, ANY BILL, signed on Friday. #Inners

Watch @timmiller.bsky.social on the Israel-Iran conflict: "There's one thing I do know, I wish that a genocidal maniac was not leading Iran and that a corrupt, indiscriminate, prime minister was not leading Israel and that a fucking moron was not leading our country."

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "There is for sure a section of voters that finds the violence abhorrent...There's another section though, people who are terminally online like Mike Lee...where the ethos of drinking liberal tears...shifted from a kind of joke to an actual cruelty."

SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

Republicans are acting like a party who DO NOT expect to face the voters in fair and free elections. No accountability on the horizon. #LastWord #TheLastWord

Why doesn't Trump EVER go after Rachel or Lawrence? I've never heard one word about them from him -- and they burn him regularly. Any ideas why? #Maddow #lastword #11thHour

Trump's reversal today is probably a Stephen Miller reversal -- taking advantage of Trump being out of town and increasingly befuddled. Who is REALLY in charge? #TheLastword #Maddow #lastword

Interesting that #maddow is not reporting at all (so far) on the situation in Iran. Was this all another distraction?

Wow! Maddow tonight mentioning that Trump can't even persuade Melania to live with him, how can he influence/sway others -- haha! If it were a Dem president in office and his wife refused to live there, they'd be covering nonstop. About time it was at least acknowledged! #Maddow

The chances are so low that Donald Trump wrote this that we no longer have research scientists and statisticians able to calculate it

I just went there to try and find the NYT coverage of the largest protests in modern American history and just kept on scrolling and scrolling and scrolling …
