We’ve hit the “is he the antichrist?” Part of the news cycle

In the last year, ICE has deported nearly half a million people. Killed dozens. Disappeared tens of thousands. And it's only the beginning. Unless we stop it.

So if grandmas are out here working for DoorDash who is suppose to help with child care?? Asking for jd vance.

Anna Paulina Luna worked just as hard to remove an accused rapist from Congress as she worked to re-elect an adjudicated rapist as president.

Sanders: Historically, leaders had to make a decision: if I want to go to war—I’m going to lose constituents. They’re going to get angry at me. Their kids are going to get killed. We’re talking about wars now that are not going to be fought by human beings, which makes it easier to go to war.

Klein: There's a new company that is marketing that they have robot dogs who will do security at the data center. So even this handful of jobs that were being offered, they're already working to try to figure out how they won't even need those.

Sanders: The Wall Street Journal reported recently that Jeff Bezos wants to raise $100 billion to automate factories in America and around the world. It means there will no longer be manufacturing jobs in the United States.

Klein: I agree that it is a revolutionary technology, that it is going to transform our economy on the scale of the Industrial Revolution. But unlike the Industrial Revolution, which created huge numbers of jobs, the goal of this revolution is to eliminate jobs.

MacFarlane: Republicans have set up a vote tomorrow on a resolution to, in some way, formally celebrate some of Trump’s tax policies. But a resolution is just that—it’s a statement. There’s nothing binding or helpful in a resolution.

It’s always the same that they choose to go after the poor instead of the rich to pay for anything.

Grifters gonna grift… Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is asking the Trump admin to reimburse him for legal fees in connection w/former special counsel Jack Smith's investigations, which led to two separate criminal cases against the president. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Swift action against Bondi must happen now! She’s breaking the law!

conservative free speech is when they speak and you listen or suffer the consequences

There’s a sorting going on that has us on Putin’s side as Putin helps Iran target our troops. Whose side is Don on?

If the White House’s so-called Religious Liberty Commission wants to explicitly reject the separation of church and state, certain questions are unavoidable: What’s their alternative to the First Amendment? If the government won’t be neutral on religion, what comes next? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

Can't have feudalism without serfs.

Privatization of government agencies has been a goal of the Republican Party for decades.

Public Ignorance is strength For the Rich men who rule

Smart political move. Takes it to the Rs. Everyone is seeing Trump fall apart in real time. Make his party vote, or at least refuse to vote on this measure, and keep the issue live for the election. Hungary seems to be inspiring people here too.

Rachel had a great segment on this type Orban modeling on Monday. Hungary’s street light guy fled to the US. Maybe he can work with Jared, no doubts they know each other

Gorgeous!!! 🥰

Beautiful! Such vivid colors.❤️🩷💜 Ours started a little early this year, too.

The EU’s anti-graft agency investigated the Hungarian lighting project and reported “serious irregularities” and “conflict of interest” in the awarding of contracts. …now we know why TACO loves Orban. They share a love of grift. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/w... #Maddow

Heritage Foundation has always had the goal of creating a permanent underclass of overburdened low wage workers with no education, information, choice or recourse. Small wonder they eagerly betrayed their country and embraced Russia's Orban-modeling. #CheckYourVoterRegistration

You must have the most fabulous garden!💜🩷💛

This is all I got... so far. The Olympic Peninsula will make you work for it.

Roses! Must have the most fabulous fragrance! 🥰🌹🌹🌹

Here’s my Rose porn for today

Two of my recent picks - love spring roses

Spring mix.

Being unethical sure does pay well, whether in Hungary or the White House. #maddow

Viktor Orban's corrupt son-in-law has fled from Hungary to The United States. Of course he feels welcome here. FFS. #Maddow

Amazing...seeing what's happened to Hungary is like peering into OUR future! #Maddow

Think of all the right-wing douchebags who came to visit Hungary over the last few years, from Tucker Carlson to JD Vance. And they rejected all of those losers! God bless you, Hungary! #maddow

And it took the Democrat doing the right thing to get the Republican to FINALLY step down, despite overwhelming Republican support. #Maddow

Nobody is monitoring these prison capacities. You think Trump cares? Fuck no. #maddow

Boy how far our country has fallen! We have now become the place people fleeing their countries for fraud and corruption, seek refuge to elude accountability. Just another thing we now have in common with Russia! #Maddow

Loving Maddow's open tonight - connecting the dots between Orban and Trump. "Nobody actually likes a corrupt despot." And the outcome, for that very reason, will be the very same. Book it.

Include Netanyahu & Putin in the dominoes that will fall too! #maddow

It's good to see Rep Grijalva getting an opportunity to show her constituents her work ethic, particularly after Mike Johnson kept her in a seven-week holding pattern. azmirror.com/2026/04/09/i... #Maddow

“Hope is a verb with its sleeve rolled up.” ~ David Orr #maddow

The heritage foundation's Project 2025 was modelled what Orban did in Hungary. #Maddow
