"We are ground zero for trump's war on America, a war on our democracy, on our freedoms, on our rights as Americans. It is in our backyard today, and it is only a matter of time before it's in yours." Mayor Her, St Paul, MN

This is outrageous. The American ppl better wake up. These ppl are repeatedly using the immense power of the federal govt to punish whoever they wish. This is wrong. They will keep doing this unless the American public reigns them in.

Looking back ovr th past yr of trump I find myself thinking abt wht exactly it is trump is trying to do. Yes to enrich himself & his friends but thr seems to be more. He's systematically worked to wreck tht whch makes us wrld ldr-th rule of law, our historic seats of great education..

It's almost like they really want to inflict the most cruelty possible. I sense Stephen Miller's hand in all of this while trump is off somewhere ranting incoherently about taking the oil and trying to finagle his way to a Nobel Prize

Jonathan Alter is who I was trying to think of.

Highly important video of the ICE Minnesota shooting. "The driver ... waves for other [vehicles] to go ahead" "The agent is not being run over. In fact, his feet are positioned away from the SUV" "Agents blocked...a physician" from providing medical care. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Yu guys still don’t get it. It’s all abt showing all those elites tht snubbed him in NY. He was giddy on Fox News abt the success. He doesn’t care abt substantive accomplishment, he just wants to show all those snotty NY folks he’s better than them.

It’s true. Elected R’s yu mst see he’s out of control. Ths am on Fox he ws practically tweaking he ws so aroused by th military action. Awake at 3-4am to talk to journo @tylerpager.bsky.social,he ws still on adrenalin hi for Fox, bragging lke lunatic. Stop putting it down to politics. Yu must act!

trump believes it. And as we all know, our president doesn't need evidence. He has a very big brain.

One wonders if Zuckerberg and company arrived at this “result” using the scientific method.

Didn’t see that coming..said no one ever.

chrismatthews.blusky.social & Katytur Watched ur coverage of trump addg his name to public buildings. Thr's no mystery. He still bears th scars fr his early yrs whn uber hi class disdained him as not of their class. Inside, he's still tht yng man on the outside looking in, try'g to prove he belongs

And every pundit is "Voters massively reject Trump and Trumpism in a cascading series of elections, which shows why Democrats must move hard to the right and become more like Trump"

Drag him.

@normornstein.bsky.social Hi Norm, did we miss you today? If i did hope to see you tomorrow 🙂

So very disturbing. She was dragged from her car kocking and screaming. Turns out she is an American. At least it didn’t happen to your wife, right Mr. Justice Kavanaugh www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Oh Lord, such a tragic situation in DC rn. All we need for it to be even worse is the crazy man raging on social media. His words really stir up unstable minds. We need to let the law enforcement folks do their work and let the justice system take care of the shooter.

God in heaven. Mom was disch’d fr hosp after her water broke. She begged to stay, 8 minutes after she was wheeled out she delivered baby in bed of truck. How could this happen??? www.fox32chicago.com/news/indiana...

Not a professional?Ths is so profoundly insulting to my profession. Nurses are an indespensible hlthcare partner American Nurses Assn pres gave ths online comment access for RNs @rnaction.org. It’s not open yet but it will be soon. We all must use ths comments link to make our outrage known!!

Jeffrey Epstein survivors released a new video urging Congress to vote to release the Epstein files

Spread this as widely as you can and urge everybody you know to do the same

Former CICU nurse here. I hv trouble believing an episode of vfib resolved spontaneously. Another term for it is sudden death episode. It is a lethal dysrhythmia, the survival of which depends on it being a witnessed arrest and immediate intervention.

Been thinkg abt ths scene fr movie 48 hrs. Eddie Murphy & Nick Nolte r questiong a guy in a redneck bar, & Nolte is jst whaling away on th guy, beatg th crap out of him. Murphy finally says Hey, man, give him wht he wants! I think he likes ths stuff!" Nolte is trump. He likes ppl suffering.

You know what? I’m sick and tired of seeing these 3 every GD day on #MSNBC: John Kasick, David Drucker and Brendan Buck. Every time I look up oneof them’s weighing in their slanted opinions. Are they new hires for @msnownews.bsky.social or something?

You do understand trump’s plan, right? He’s telling Republicans to vote for Cuomo. If enuf of them do, theoretically tht cld take Cuomo over the top.

Is anyone interested in gifting this article? Saw the report on Deadline today. US Atty on money laundering case cc'd Acosta on everything. Looks like Acosta actually should hv remembered more than he claimed he did. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

👏👏👏

Thune MELTDOWN on senate flr. Sorry Johnny, ur in th big job now. Can't take th pressure? I got news for yu. Telling othrs to fix ur problem, one you won't even try to fix? Not all tickles & giggles is it? Thought you had more class than tht. Better get used to it buddy. Thr's a lot more coming.

Brown’s attorney (Judkins) said he spent three nights in jail because the judge didn’t consider the shooting because the cops didn’t mention it. END/

GOP to Dems: You don’t get a say. Just vote as you’re told. Media chimes in. Dems: GOP has the “Do as you’re told lobby” locked up. We’re not doing that. #NoBallsGOP

Watching "A House of Dynamite." So, so painful watching depiction of how our government works without sycophants and a crazy president at the helm. How it ends up aside, it's so cruel to see how it's supposed to work--but doesn't anymore.

Newsom does this very effectively. people.com/gavin-newsom...

Dear Dems, you are getting the idea now. But you've got to get in touch with your "street fighter" inclinations, fight fire with fire as @gavinnewsom.bsky.social says. Here is an example for you. It worked so well with idiot trump.

Trump admin plans to award contract to drone company that Don, Jr. is stock owner and on the board of which. No real boundaries left. x.com/TheRickWilso...

Pastor shot point-blank in the face by ICE. When will we decide we've had enough of this brutish bullying. Despicable. sfchronicle.com/bayar…

In no other part of life is it reasonable or legitimate to take actions, sometimes destructive actions, based on "in my opinion." How far we've fallen under the mesmerizing rhetoric of a madman.

Clear indication trump may not have as much control over Bibi as he claims. Also trump's not big on follow thru

Just heard on @msnbc, Israel has launched an airstrike in Gaza. What a surprise. They claim it'd in response to an attack by Hamas. But, but trump declared peace didn't he?

My God in heaven, this was posted by the President of the United States. The President! Unbelievable.

Duh, @reuters.com Wrong Susan Collins! Your photo is of SENATOR Susan Collins.

This question is for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and others who know how congress works. I just heard on @velshimsnbc.bsky.social tht a judge can swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Is tht true? If it is why are we sitting around while spkr Johnson foot-drags? Why not have a judge do it now??

GOP are panicked by the ratings tht show outrage directed at them. Flop sweat evident as they jump before th cameras to call Dems terrorists. It's insulting they think anyone will believe them. After all, Protest is an American tradition. Smacks of desperation.

Published, I hope, with the contempt he richly deserves.
