Jesus @msnowreports.bsky.social why is the network running this obnoxious Trump press gaggle for over 15 minutes while he just spews garbage? I hate having MSNOW on

The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994 giving security assurances to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and borders in exchange for surrendering 1,900 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantling. The U.S. pledged to seek United Nations action if Ukraine became the victim of aggression.

Hey @nbcnews.com, @cnn.com, @cbsnews.com, @60minutes.bsky.social you’re covering this news right? You’re making the public aware of these abuses by ICE? You’re informing the public that Justice Kavanaugh and the Supreme Court ruled these kinds of tactics were acceptable under the US constitution?

Quit reposting Trump screenshots and quotes. Quell it. Stifle it. Suffocate him.

Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

And Thank you Joe Biden & Kamala Harris for clearly articulating the threat Trump was to our democracy, and then spending 4 years pretending they couldn't do anything. Garland played at going after the little fish. What did they need to find? He did it all out in the open, on TV! FFS!

@nbcnews.com NBC News tonight reported on market reaction to the interest rate hike and Trump’s reaction but never reported on the actual Fed rate hike. (I had to google it.) We also got a piece on the Chief of Staff being cancer free and a long piece on last week’s duct taped airline passenger.

There’s a lot that is heartbreaking in this piece but I was especially struck by her father’s shock over how quickly Cuban culture and character changed, becoming so ugly and hate filled in a short time. The US has absolutely changed fundamentally in the same way www.miamiherald.com/opinion/edit...

Ok we need this incredible woman out front on a national stage every freaking day. LOVE LOVE LOVE her grace & courage. What a bad ass (although she’d never use such a crude expression.) Can @repbeatty.bsky.social run for president?

I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE AD PROMOTING DAVID JOLLY FOR GOVERNOR IN FLORIDA. ALL I SEE ARE ADS FOR BYRON DONALDS, TRUMP PICK. WTH. WHY!!!!!

Short answer: the American Century ended on the escalator.

The boy who lost his father and two brothers on a foggy morning 52 years ago grew up to spend his life making millions of strangers feel a little less alone. He felt the pain and showed us we could survive pain and thrive. CBS thinks they canceled Stephen Colbert. CBS actually canceled themselves.

I actually want them to be fairly bloodthirsty about it.

This requires more than one man. It requires that an entire political party is pliant and corrupt. Republicans did this to The U.S. and to the world. Republicans.

Came across a picture of JFK’s Oval Office and was struck by the restraint and simplicity, the scale, white space, small landscape paintings. It’s so American.

Fast running out of any traditional media I can stand watching. NBC with Jenna Bush and Sheinelle Jones fawning all over Lauren Sanchez Bezos this morning was so bad. So unmerited. She wrote a children’s book. So? She gushed about how Jeff has made her so vulnerable and open. Gross

Why haven’t the murderous ICE agents already been charged by the state of Minnesota?

Joe Scarborough is on a tear right now about the Supreme Court doing nothing about Trump trashing the constitution and slow walking any rulings that make that clear

@cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @ms.now @cnn.com seems like it would be newsworthy to tell Americans that teenage US citizens are being arrested at their homes by a non-police force-but by ICE.

Every decent lawyer, investigator, detective or clerk working in the entire Justice department should quit en masse

Kind of think government murder squads roaming our streets is more upsetting than having to see pronouns in emails occasionally.

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Since 1964, The country I was born into disappeared on Sept. 11, 2001. The country I got used to died on Jan. 20, 2025.

"'Abolish ICE' is no longer just a far-left slogan — it's good politics. God knows why Americans reelected Trump, but they clearly didn’t envision masked goons knocking down doors and disappearing people." — @playtyperguy.com

If you haven’t seen this yet, what are you doing with your life??? 😂😂😂😂

“Even before Trump, this agency was riddled with excesses and abuses. But now that Trump has shown how ICE can be transformed into a paramilitary outfit that can pick up, beat, and kill anyone—immigrant and citizen alike—it needs to be abolished, not reformed.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

The Trump era in a nutshell: Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing. Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent. Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."

When you remember that ICE and DHS and CBP were all created out of the 9/11 "we have to do something" hysteria you realize that actually Al-Qaeda won! The terrorists succeeded in their intended goal. America lost and terrorism won.

Jesus Christ. Where in the hell is law enforcement?

This is the vibe I'm looking for

Why would Denmark agree to meet with Rubio amid US threats to take over Greenland? Why not expel all diplomats and say GTFO?

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Let's fix America. Our government has spent our lives making laws that benefit the people who make the laws. They were never allowed to do that. open.substack.com/pub/mrnobody...

If I want to hear from average Americans about the news, I'll go to social media. We need journalists to seek and speak the truth to us.

He’s so fucking embarrassing. Look, I understand why he got elected again, but it’s still so damn shameful, and dangerous, that this good, great, decent country put this psychopath back in power.

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth

Agreeing to “hear the argument” is giving the game away already as there literally is no constitutional argument.

At left: a New York Times letter to the editor from October 9, 2001, warning that "the newly formed homeland security office" could lead America to a very dark place At right: Tweets today from the Trump Department of Homeland Security

We need to abolish DHS and ICE with it. None of this shit existed before W and Cheney started it after 9/11.
