Me, to @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social on @msnbc.com last night: "[Lindsey Halligan] has no more authority than you or I or my two corgis to present an indictment to a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia."

its weird that the president brags about inflicting pain on american citizens and cities right?

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Over the years Susan Collins has made it crystal clear that she does not care how many people lose access to healthcare, and this week she shut down the government instead of voting to let Mainers get the care they need. It’s despicable.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do. It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate. Always punching down

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Eight decades after Hollywood legends like Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland launched the Committee for the First Amendment to stand up to McCarthyism, Jane Fonda is bringing back the organization. https://cnn.it/3KsdDYR

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

No need to be scared of him. The trend is clear - everyone outside of his hard base is abandoning him.

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

You know that guy who rammed his truck w American flags into an LDS church and murdered 4 people before setting the place on fire? I can’t find a single story about his politics Help me out here if I’m missing something

Keep talking, Howard, keep talking.

"The use of frozen Russian assets is not confiscation. Kyiv will repay the loan after Russia compensates for the damages", - von der Leyen Sure, when Russia pays for ALL the damage.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "They're trying to condition some of these generals to the idea that they should be using the U.S. military to enforce the political agenda of this president. It's not going to work."

Naturally Trump’s mouth gift wraps a perfect lawsuit for every government worker he fires after he makes it clear he is doing it solely for politics and is specifically targeting civil servants who are registered Democrats. He basically wrote their lawsuit for them today.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

CBS REPORTER: “Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for the health care subsidies. Can you clarify what you’re talking about?” TRUMP: *compares heart sizes, rambles about immigration, makes it clear the talking point is a lie* (parroted by Burchett)

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

100%

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The right must really be scared if they’re running stories about Mamdani’s parents’ AirBnb rental. 😅

Ezra Klein is never ever ever going to say he’s wrong. He knows he’s wrong, though. He just thinks he’s smarter than y’all.

Jeffries responded to the fake video by sharing a photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, along with the caption “This is real.”

Next, gold plated battleships. Your tariff dollars at work.

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Damn it, I knew my time was going to come eventually.

I hope the DNC is listening, because here is something very important: you don’t need to hire a bunch of high dollar consultants for “messaging.” Talk to voters about prices and why they are so high. My MAGA mom just told my stepdad that prices are high because of Trump‘s tariffs.

The Dept. of Homeland Security under Sec. Noem is completely out of control. Her decision to reinstate the officer who assaulted an asylum seeker is clearly viewed by other ICE agents as license to violently attack civilians. If DHS won't police itself then the OIG must step in immediately.

“The oath says enemies foreign and domestic… well, we also have domestic.” Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans

This is a blatant lie — but that's the point. It's Authoritarianism 101. Trump lives to sow chaos and act like a strongman to cover for his rapidly declining popularity. He needs to "other" his political opponents and stoke fear in order to hide his failures. This is why we must not give in.

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

“We The People Will Prevail!”

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Trump declares war on America.

👀👀

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

After winning a historic 1969 Supreme Court case as a teenager, Mary Beth Tinker never stopped fighting for children’s rights, free speech and equality. Fifty years later, she is taking on Capitol Hill with feminist antiwar group CODEPINK.
