One thing I haven’t seen get a lot of coverage is Trump easing sanctions on Putin under the guise of helping oil prices. Right now, supposedly the sanctions will go back into effect in a month, but I would absolutely pay attention to that.

Luckily, they aren’t drones that go boom. I’d worry more about adversaries reverse engineering than a specific threat to the homeland. But, this is an insane story. People don’t just waltz onto one of the most recognizable military bases in the US and walk out with 4 drones.

The biggest thing that is giving me hope right now is that pretty much everyone with a functioning brain can see that the emperor is naked. He’s even losing some of his previously hardcore MAGA supporters, surprisingly. The GOP is absolutely panicking about the midterms, and they should be.

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are: Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job. Thanks

I’m begging you, with tears in my eyes. Please stop using AI to write your tweets. We see the AI cadence. It’s not fooling anyone. Say it with me: AI is for research, not for becoming your entire personality.

Yep

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

I think so, but that depends on us. We can’t get complacent. We can’t get bullied. We can’t be intimidated by ICE or any other thugs they try to use to prevent people from voting. The Senate will be tougher for sure, but I think we can get there with the right plan.

Are national audiences still aware shit is bad here in Minnesota? The "draw down" was just a headline.

If you haven't heard the next date yet. #NoKings3 ❌️👑3️⃣

I’ve been listening to Mr. Bunny’s music today and am quite enjoying it.

The Trump Administration is now targeting 5-year old Liam Ramos and his father, trying to expedite their deportations.

So let’s brainstorm. The whistleblower’s lawyer said this complaint was filed around June 6. That rules Putin and Alaska out. What dumb did shit Trump do prior to June 6 that could cause grave harm to the United States?

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask. Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.

there are dozens of cameras on them all the time. we already know what they’re doing. this is not any sort of concession.

It’s your city, from the sidewalk to the skyline. The David Dinkins Municipal Building’s rooftop is open & free to everyone, starting this June.

this is a very cool thing to do and also highlights one of the biggest keys to Zohran's appeal: he just thinks New York City is really neat people who live somewhere want to vote for someone who likes it there and wants to make it better, not someone who wants to use it as a springboard

Precisely this. It’s too classified to send to *some* members of Congress. But there are absolutely folks who are (or could be) cleared to be read in. Even if it’s got to be a Gang of Eight only issue, send it to Congress.

1. Trump can’t federalize elections and he knows that. 2. That doesn’t mean he won’t try, so what are WE going to do when he inevitably does?

This is the drum I'm always banging. We don't have to change the hearts of diehard bastards to win. We just need the independents & we can win. Frustrated Republicans? Icing on the cake. Politics isn't two sides struggling to steal each other's members; it's a war of attrition over the independents

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Olivia Dean: "I guess I want to say I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I wouldn't be here... I'm a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated"

The king of law firm capitulators was also apparently an Epstein fanboy. www.ft.com/content/e12a...

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

also "Send your thoughts to: Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree [email protected] 416-283-1414"

I hope Liam gets a whole lot of therapy and support growing up. All the kids abducted by ICE need to be cared for and not abandoned after a day or two.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Rep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

Despite Trump’s relentless attempts to bury them, a fresh pot of Epstein scandals is starting to boil over.

You’ve got to be a complete fucking moron to believe that the FBI has 5 hard drives showing existensive fraud and nobody has been arrested. But then again, complete fucking morons are their target audience.

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic. Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that. Hope that helps.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

A US federal judge has temporarily stopped the deportation of a five-year-old boy from Minnesota and his father, following widespread backlash over their arrest by immigration authorities.

Worth knowing. popular.info/p/the-corpor...

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you didn't catch this segment of @maddow.bsky.social's tonight, I recommend you watch the whole thing. We're seeing both utterly sadistic mass scale horror alongside incredibly inspiring mass displays of humanity. The regime is weak. The people will win.

We dedicated much of tonight's program to an in-depth look at what Colorado is doing to prevent - and prepare for - President Trump's violent crackdown by federal forces potentially coming to Colorado. This is a thread of those reports.

@visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Rachel Maddow has it exactly right. The way we can beat back fascism and protect our democracy won't be through waging a bloody war. It will be through democratic means. Namely, protesting, speaking out, and increasing our political power (by voting and by supporting the opposition party).

I'm glad Rachel is covering the issue of these prisons because I think a lot of communities need to be better informed about that. #Maddow
