THIS is how Dems must respond when the Nancy Maces of the world try to distract with fake culture wars. 🔥

“Political hack”: The Weeknight panel discusses FBI Director Kash Patel as lawmakers prepare to grill him in back-to-back hearings.

Noteworthy development 👇 Victims deserve way more transparency on this ill-fated decision. Now, subpoena the line prosecutors. Politico: Trump Labor secretary to be interviewed in House Epstein probe politi.co/4n3ZT4A

"Loyalty actually isn't a strong enough word. It is about blind obedience" @anthonycoley.bsky.social difference between those who served Trump during his first and second terms and why we are now seeing the Justice Department take such unprecedented actions.

Some folks have to learn the hard way…. WaPo: This conservative county lost teachers and millions after Trump administration cut key grant www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Guest: It is not lost on me that today is the day that the Epstein files are due to Congress. So today of all days, the DOJ is going to execute this search warrant? I smell a rat

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you… and possibly livestreamed for content www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

2 quick thoughts: 1–They’re easing out Bongino after his clash w/ Bondi & unflattering leaks 2-The FBI dep dir is typically a career official w/ many many years of FBI experience. Bailey’s appointment is another critical break from an important norm meant to make us more safe.

With no corporate ties to Microsoft or NBC, this makes sense to me…

👋 DC resident here 2 things can be true: Violent crime can be way ⬇️ & folks can STILL be frustrated by car jackings, smash&grabs, etc THIS doesn’t warrant the Natl Guard but 51% of DC residents (largely Dems!) feel that crime is extremely or very important, per WaPo poll in a May

🚨 On Jan. 6th, he yelled “killed ‘em” to fellow protesters attacking police officers. Today he’s a taxpayer-funded senior adviser in Trump’s Justice Dept. www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

“What are you hiding, Mr. President?” The Weeknight panel weighs in on the political fallout over the Epstein files and what Trump’s response – or lack thereof – reveals about his priorities.

Oh Atlanta 🤦🏾‍♂️ yall doing too much down there

When folks say Trump is making us less safe, stuff like THIS is what we mean: NYT: DOJ plans to slash the # of inspectors who monitor federally licensed gun dealers by 2/3rds, sharply limiting the govt’s already crimped capacity to identify businesses that sell guns to criminals (gift link below)

Happy Father’s Day to the moms doing double duty.

Quick thoughts on the truly awful assassination of a democratic lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota

Trump’s military parade isn’t about patriotism — it’s not about celebrating the Army. It’s a birthday gift to himself. It’s meant to stroke his fragile ego.  Insecurity always puts on the loudest show.

So Kristi Noem’s agents didn’t notice or flinch when someone got close enough to grab her purse and run. But they get physical with a sitting U.S. senator asking questions — no threat, just scrutiny. 🤔

Great WaPo chart detailing how the natl debt has exploded over the last 20 years. Of note, it was a Dem president — Bill Clinton — who actually left the country w/ a cash surplus, when the Treasury collects more in taxes than it spends on govt services. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Pay attention: White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains Gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/u...

Of course the guy who saddled 4 casinos w/ debt & drove each into bankruptcy wants to kill the debt limit But on this, he & E Warren are right The 14th Amend is clear—The validity of the public debt shall not be questioned. What IS insane? $4T in debt for billionaire tax cuts

Elon Musk is just one unelected man. The way he has these GOP politicians jumping just because he’s rich is something to behold. Imagine if they cared half as much about the people who actually vote for them.

Trump's latest pay-to-play adventure via @kenvogel.bsky.social gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

#Rerun - We've seen this episode. It's like that time when Trump's DOJ leaked probes of pandemic nursing home deaths in NY & NJ in Oct '20 A DOJ spox called the inquiries “our last play on them before election" and then leaked it to Rupert Mudoch's NY Post politico.com/news/2025/01/0

This is a silly stunt to help Shri in a Dem primary; it’s not in the long-term interests of the party. Dems can’t defeat Trumpism by just energizing the base—they need millions of disengaged voters & non-MAGA Trump supporters to get the country back on track. www.axios.com/2025/05/13/d...

Pull up a chair: Let's talk about a disengaged, checked-out president WaPo: ‘Repeatedly in his 2nd term, Trump has pleaded ignorance about major events & suggested he’s not involved in major decisions’ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Classic Trump: Float a walking red flag (Ed Martin), then swap in someone who seems more palatable (Jeanine Pirro). Same with Gaetz→Bondi. It looks like moderation, but they’re still MAGA loyalists & election deniers. These roles demand independence—not sycophants. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/trump...

This is a partisan, MAGA warrior not an apolitical Attorney General + she sounds ridiculous…

This is a PR play. DOJ isn’t leading with facts — just enough surface-level detail to make their moves seem justified. In Trump 2.0, the real fight isn’t always in the courtroom — it’s often for the headlines.

Lauren Underwood. That’s it. That’s the post.

@mluckovich.bsky.social for the win. To my evangelical friends: This Easter, you cannot worship a risen Savior—a refugee, a truth-teller, a peacemaker—and stay silent as Trump lies without shame, peddles cruelty as strength, and sows division so the powerful can kneel at his feet.

Plot twist! Robert Hur, the former special counsel, is representing Harvard University in its battle with the Trump administration, after drawing the ire of the left for his characterization of Joe Biden last year. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Stephen A. Smith would obliterate your average politician in a debate. Doesn’t mean he should run the country. This isn’t First Take, it’s the presidency. Can we please stop confusing charisma for competence 🤦🏾‍♂️ and get serious about the future of our country

Coal companies + Big Law = Match Made in Trump Shakedown Heaven 🤦🏾‍♂️

Just so we’re clear: Jerome Powell is NOT a brotha! I know the name had some of y’all fooled 😭

God bless Cory Booker “As Booker stood for hour after hour, he appeared to have nothing more than a couple glasses of water to sustain him. He later told reporters that he had fasted for days before the speech and stopped drinking fluids the night before.” apnews.com/article/cory...

Carlos Watson = Free Man His claim? "Selective prosecution" Sound familiar? Trump is doubling down on this narrative to (try to) lend credence to his own false claims of the same. Truly stunning development... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/b...

What could possibly go wrong? 🤦🏾‍♂️ www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

NYC’s mayoral race is Nov 4, 2025 The Dem primary is Jun 24, 2025 Eric Adams was indicted on Sept 25, 2024. The DOJ claim that Adam’s indictment was too close to 2025 elections is weak sauce and laughable.  This dismissal is about raw politics….

Trump message with these pardons and commutations of J6 convicted felons: If you commit crimes in my name, I’ll have your back.

My latest via @MSNBC: Pam Bondi can't be trusted with the power of the Justice Department www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

When they go low, sometimes we need to stay home 😂. Today, in Mrs. Obama’s masterclass, we learn: (1) not every stage deserves your spotlight; and (2) sometimes integrity demands distance.

What do all of Trump's cabinet picks have in common? @anthonycoley.bsky.social says loyalty is the common denominator. "I'm not talking about loyalty in the traditional sense of the word, I'm talking about loyalty in terms of blind obedience."
