Trump mocking Abdul El-Sayed because of his name is an ugly display of prejudice. When a president demeans someone over their name or perceived religion, it sends a dangerous message about who deserves respect in this country. Racism and Islamophobia have no place in America.

REPORTER: “Trump’s popularity is very low, diesel prices are very high, the war he started isn’t going well… is he using you as a scapegoat for his own problems?” ZELENSKY: 🙃🤐 (this is a YES)

Bald and bronzed and old and wheezing The man from Mar-a-Lago's displeasing And when he passes gas Each one nearby goes, "Ugh!" (Ooh) But I watch him so sadly How can I tell him I despise him so madly? But when he walks to the sea I just frown Why can’t the SOB just drown?

Pretend lawyer Katie Zacharia was so bad that her first week as MAGA press secretary ended up being her last week and she even made history for having the shortest tenure for that position in history. Went down as a liar and an idiot, how embarrassing.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

All In with Chris Hayes@allinwithchris.bsky.social

WATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social breaks down how a GOP senator tried to use a supposed Atlanta Hawks game to prove Jack Smith secretly colluded with Trump prosecutors—only to learn the texts were about the Iowa Hawkeyes game he attended 700 miles away in Maryland.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.
