I watched both shows and Blanche was full of it. He kept insisting Daniel J was on the ballot for confusion ONLY- what if he really wants to run, does Blanche want him to use a fake name? What if Daniel J was the Democratic candidate? Is the DOJ saying he can’t run? BS

@murray.senate.gov Sadly, Trump has already waived the wand and effectively abolished FEMA My niece lives on the Alabama/Florida state line just north of Pensacola in a low income area directly in line with Isaias. Severe damage with no federal aid. Thanks MAGA
NO. Congress funds FEMA to respond to disasters that REQUIRE federal support. Trump's already politicized disaster relief—an unforgivable and unAmerican transgression that I don't plan on forgetting. He doesn't get to wave a magic wand and abolish FEMA. I'm fighting back.
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.substack.com Capt Kelly, I spent 35 yrs in defense industry as an engineer (F15,F18,Tomahawk) and know all foreign military agreements go thru Congress For Starshield to be disrupted either Trump and/or Musk violated agreement. Can’t you do anything?
Congress passed tough sanctions on Russia to punish Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Now the White House turns around and undoes all of that to let Russia off the hook for their illegal invasion. That isn’t maximum pressure. It’s maximum retreat.
@jimacosta.bsky.social Jim, you have a large listener base I’d like to see someone question the citizenship of Trump’s mother when he was born She was NOT a citizen when his older siblings were born Maybe her papers weren’t filled out correctly and we should assume Trump was born to an immigrant
The 5 networks making up the pool supposedly will NOT cover his trip to the TN football game so you won’t see motorcade, etc. What’s uncertain is if ABC who is filming the game will pan the cameras to him in the stands. I HOPE NOT @abcsports.bsky.social
The White House is barring CNN from flying on Air Force One on Saturday as part of the news outlet's duties covering the president on behalf of major television networks. https://cnn.it/3TpnjIc

Don’t you remember his own nephew with the disabled son coming to him for estate money (1st term). He suggested it would be better if the boy was dead. Precisely the Hitler mindset. I guess MAGA means no disabled?
He never wants disabled in his rooms or in front of a camera. He especially hates disabled veterans b/c he doesn’t want to see that. He thinks disabled, sick & diseased people shouldn’t be allowed in public. He’s fired the disabled veterans working for the govt b/c they shouldn’t be seen at all.
I replied to Apple they should listen to SIRI vs Trump. Pointed out Apple Maps is used in our classrooms, asking if they intend to change the oceans when that EO comes out
Apple renamed Lake Ontario "Lake America" on its Maps app — and employees are furious. Insiders say leadership is "resigned" to these concessions, understanding Trump "will f--- with the company if the company doesn't do what he wants." bit.ly/4zK114i

Before you dump all Google apps you might consider this and yes I’m very mad about the renaming. Google Maps has changed, but other Google products have NOT changed. Waze is owned by Google and still shows Ontario. Google Al call it Ontario with a footnote and correct images
@laura-leez.bsky.social I agree and have posted myself that more than 50% of the Lake is in your borders
I live in the USA and Trump needs to handled as a playground bully. The name America doesn’t exclude Canada because they are North America. I would love to see Canada issue an order naming it Lake Canada, then the world would see Lake America (Canada) and the bully would be defeated

@reptimkennedy.bsky.social Someone needs to educate our illiterate President and Google that 1) the name Ontario predates the nation’s founding, and 2) more than 50% of the lake’s surface lies inside the Canadian border Google Maps is evidently listening to Trump rather than Google Search or AI

I plead with the citizens of Canada that they accept my sincerest apologies for the actions of Trump, his administration, & his puppets in Congress Please recognize polling shows the vast majority of US citizens are as upset as you
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that trade negotiations with the United States had turned "nasty" after President Donald Trump derided America's neighbor and its leadership while threatening to expand tariffs. https://to.pbs.org/4w7NRLn
Awakening a Sleeping Giant open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... Listen carefully and vote Republican only if you’re willing to turn the clock back and lose our nation’s values as a Democracy In the end the fault will lie with the voter much like the Germans in the 1930s
@smerconish.bsky.social Part 1 Your guest today, discussing the impact of college education on voting (and hence rural vs urban) was correct. But I wish you’d taken it a step further and shown how our Electoral College has failed us. Simply look at urban/college towns in red states
@smerconish.bsky.social Part 2of2. eg St Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, Nashville, etc. The phrase “every vote counts” is meaningless. We need to use the popular vote or have a system more like Nebraska where electoral votes are counted by district and Omaha remains Blue
@smerconish.bsky.social Michael, it’s 17 April and I just listened to your podcast. You’re right the “educated earners” aren’t determining the president but the reason is less what quadrant they’re in and more a result of our Electoral College and 48/50 states are winner take all
@pamelabrowncnn.bsky.social In recent focus on Christian Nationalism (eg Hegseth, and % of GOP) I wish you would make an additional point; Christians are willing to coexist with other religions, BUT NOT Christian Nationalists. By definition they are contributing to the rise in antisemitism
@klobuchar.senate.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov @ms.now During the Bondi hearing & other news I’m hearing the Republican side blame the Twin City situation on MN being a “sanctuary” Why isn’t anyone mentioning immigrants with criminal charges held by locals, but ICE won’t pick them up?
@msnowevents.bsky.social I am sickened by the murders In Minneapolis and have a question I haven’t heard addressed. Why doesn’t ICE and BP have Tazers? I’m not condoning the recent acts by the federal agents but with a Tazer the victims would still be alive??
@ms.now In the Katy Tur program Jan 16 you called out multiple ICE shootings into vehicles I wish you’d point out the risk of injury or death to innocent children in back seats. Also the risk to innocent people in the path of a driverless vehicle
Message to military patrolling Venezuelan airspace: Ensure your orders are legal and follow your oath to the constitution. You are personally liable Consult JAG or Senior Officer. Originating from Trump or Hegseth does NOT ensure legality
The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social Love your podcast! Nobody is tying Sen Kelly’s message to the Kent State massacre where the Ohio National Guard fired nearly 70 rounds killing 4 injured 9. No time to consult JAG Which Trump occupied city will it repeat in?
@anacabrera.bsky.social Watching your interview pertaining to Sen Kelly with Del Percio this AM. She is wrong, there was a need for his message. The Kent State massacre could happen again in any of the military occupied cities. You need to tell public UNLAWFUL orders have occurred

#chrisjansing @msnbc.bsky.social Sen Kelly doesn’t specify the scenario where ILLEGAL orders may be given. MS NOW is focusing on the Caribbean. Why not focus on the National Guard or Marines that Trump has placed on our streets? It happened at Kent State with nearly 70 rounds fired

I’d ask anyone questioning Kelly’s message to look back at the Ohio National Guard massacre at Kent State in 1970. Happened in seconds, clearly unlawful orders per UCMJ, killed 4, injured 9. Only time until it happens again in one of the cities Trump occupies with the military/ICE. God save us
Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing Especially any veterans? Shame on all those who stay silent

How about Trump “put his money where his mouth is” for once in his life I challenge him to serve the Walmart dinner he refers to on Thanksgiving day at Mar-A-Lago
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.
Why hasn’t anyone talked about the fact that Trump temporarily used an Epstein jet in his last campaign @crockett.house.gov
The American people deserve answers, and it’s time for the DOJ and FBI to provide them. While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, it’s time for the Administration to do their part.
If you’re upset as I am that the Trump and his puppets made campaign promises to improve ACA and then did nothing but let the tax credits lapse DO NOT BLAME the Senate Minority Leader. Blame Trump, the Republicans, and these 8 Democrats.

Remember the scumbag originally said he would gladly release the funds if the courts would clarify it was legal … Well the courts did and he appealed, so now he’s off to Mar-A-Lago for another weekend of golf and feast while people go hungry Proud you voted for him?
I’d like to know where the funds came from to renovate the Rose Garden & Lincoln Library and how many weeks of SNAP that would’ve covered I also propose all golf outings are suspended indefinitely with the money going to SNAP HIT LIKE OR REPOST if you agree
NEWS: A federal judge in Rhode Island has released her written order demanding the Trump admin use emergency funds to pay SNAP food benefits. The court gave the gov until Nov 4 to ensure payments are made and says if the contingency fund runs out, they must continue to fund SNAP via other means.
