@maddow.bsky.social So if there’s about 130,000 undocumented immigrants in MN, about 1.6 million in FL, and about 2.1 million in TX, why are all the ICE agents in MN?

With with Bessent’s most optimistic projections, that would take about 27 years.

The flood wasn’t political. Why the county was so unprepared and people died… that was entirely political.

This is how our fathers fought fascism

Wow

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington

President Eisenhower, the architect of D Day, would say this about Donald Trump’s birthday military parade.

JUST NOW: “This should be eye-opening for everyone. It is happening in our state.” ICE just detained up to 100 people in Nashville — we’re told at least one says MNPD participated in her detention PRESSER outside the ICE office👇🏽

To mark Trump's 100 days in office, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tonight will read into the congressional record 100 reports of his corruption. www.huffpost.com/entry/elizab...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

“We lost a year’s worth of what we planned to use.” — my retired parents to me yesterday regarding their savings

For them, it’s all there in black and white.

He tariffed territories entirely inhabited by penguins. That’s all you need to know about how well thought out his plans are.

#IdiocyLedByStupidity A ‘banner’ day at the stock markets as all Americans lose trillions of dollars.

They want to imprison anyone for burning down a Tesla. For 20 years. How much for burning down the stock market?

We had it so good…

I’m no economist, but…

@maddow.msnbc.com Happy Anniversary to you and Susan. ❤️

@rayren98.bsky.social Are you going to post on Blue Sky more? I would like to move away from X.

T’wasn’t a flask of Old Crow, so t’wasn’t Hegseth’s kin.

BIG rebuke of Trump administration by the DC Circuit on Alien Enemies Act. Upholds Judge Boasberg's order. Conservative jurist, Judge Henderson's concurring opinion cuts through the noise. "[A]n invasion is a military affair, not one of migration." Great analysis of what USG wanted to do here.⬇️

Trump is going to do or say something crazy to throw Americans off this Signal disaster. Do NOT take the bait he tosses out. Stay on Signalgate.

Much of mainstream media has caved to Trump. X is pretty much state-run. Big law firms have bent the knee. His entire cabinet lies for him without hesitation. Thank you @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for your courage and commitment to the truth, during a time when we need it the most.

Hey Senate Democrats, ‘Take the gloves off’

Yep. You read that correctly.

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Sen. Michael Bennet: "Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were, as director of the CIA, participating in this thread, were you aware of that? Are you? Are you aware of that today?" Ratcliffe: "I'm not aware of that."

Pete Hegseth has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary ?

Elon Musk is not finding “waste and abuse”. He is simply slashing regulations and firing regulators that keep you safe, just so he can add a few more zeros to his bank account.

over past years, there were so many "Fact Checks" from media outlets dismissing Democratic claims that Republicans wanted to cut Social Security Like PBS, 8/20/24 "We rated Harris’ claim that Trump intends to cut Social Security Mostly False" This was always the GOP plan and now they're doing it

Play stupid games…

"The Stock Market Vigilantes have spoken. They don't like tariffs, and they don't like mass firings of federal workers. That's because they don't like stagflation, and they fear that Trump 2.0's focus on these measures could cause a recession with higher inflation." -Ed Yardeni

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

💯

Stupidity is very expensive.
