From WSJ - The taxpayer money used to fund the ads that started airing last week came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, an arm of DHS that oversees the Border Patrol and customs and immigration at airports, the people said. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: SCOTUS, like Natalie Harp, pretends to believe Trump works on ‘election integrity’ youtu.be/NisXa4aMiio?...

Great campaign slogan.

President Trump has long fixated on mail-in-voting to bolster his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. But he recently used the method in a Florida special election.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official. 1/

@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social I’m seeing these “war” videos for the first time tonight. I’m at a loss for words.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Under the supervision of Russell Vought, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has become a “zombie regulator,” its former general counsel said. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/p4WtZU

As a nation, we are most pathetic internally & abroad when we forget that our revolutionary founding documents embodied ideas about human equality & freedom that have spread into the world not just as aspirational benchmarks but as rights to be defended and upheld. www.greatpower.us/p/wars-of-in...

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.

Trump: “One year ago, our country was dead!” The Economist, one year ago:

@chrislhayes.bsky.social so good to see and hear @sifill.bsky.social on you show tonight!

There’s nothing new about this plan from the Kremlin. It’s just so no other American administration in history was so devoid morals and a belief in American values and an understanding of American security to pursue it with such vigor www.wsj.com/world/russia...

I don't know how I stumbled upon this, but I'm glad I did. Great writing, inspirational American writing. @mollymckew.bsky.social

Scott Pelley got a big scoop with the Trump DOJ whistleblower that almost surely was going to be the top story on 60 Minutes this week. But per the NYT, Bari Weiss personally booked Jared Kushner on 60–letting him take a victory lap for the Gaza deal. Pelley’s story was pushed to second position.

Our pro-democracy movement responds to Trump by competing in elections, trying to pass legislation to help people, protesting peacefully, as Americans do. It's Trump who is attacking America/our democracy, bringing violence to our streets, unprecedented corruption, rigging/overturning elections.

TONIGHT: @whitehouse.senate.gov joins @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

Gee, I wonder why Trump’s so “soft”? (ahem, Trump/Russia, Trump/Russia, Trump/Russia)

This really needs to be a thing Americans rally to stop.

Elon may be on his way out, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that millions of Americans rely on. Here are seven ways that DOGE is ruining your life. https://youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?si=tyT84SUJ9sZlnjwo

All MAGA hat, no cattle cuz government is hard — but they damaged the regulators who scrutinized them and it’s not clear how they plundered our data systems. At some point, there should be a massive investigation into what these fly by nights did. www.wired.com/story/nicole...

And this is why Democrats cannot ignore the importance of building enthusiasm in the base. Secure the base. Drive turnout high. Show them the truth abt the effect of Trumpism on their lives. Build up and out from the base and capture as many voters as possible.Trump is vulnerable. Make the case.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before. But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma. Now do a wellness check on Trump.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

@realbillmaher.bsky.social Oh Bill, maybe you’re trying to help heal the country, BUT you don’t do it by normalizing this treasonous madman. “‘You’ coulda been a contender …”.

Today, as Duke’s Khaman Maluach, of Rumbek, South Sudan, prepared to play in the NCAA Final Four, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced his department “is taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders...”

@lastword.msnbc.com Good to see and hear you again! Thanks Lawrence!!

Require schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom? Listen as I read this letter, signed by more than 150 Texas faith leaders, opposing state interference with both education and religion.  Text of the letter: bit.ly/43xadvg

@elienyc.bsky.social So good to see and hear you @lastword.msnbc.com tonight. Never stop fighting. Bless you.

President Trump, earlier today: "I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic; to me it's a magazine that is going out of business." In 2024, it returned to profitability "and said it had crossed the one million subscriptions mark."

Spray paint the gd signs. Might add that current regime is not interested in our infrastructure unless one of donold’s cronies can overcharge us for the work

'Classic authoritarian move': Critics alarmed as Trump eyes classifying fentanyl as WMD. In fact, Donald Trump himself is the weapon of mass destruction in America. www.rawstory.com/trump-fentan...

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social DO NOT lose your courage now!! Stop supporting this abnormal administration STOP!!

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Thank you for today’s show. Never stop, and thank you Judge Luttig

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Did you know that public schools serve over 50 million students in the US? Defunding them would have far-reaching consequences for our nation's future. DONT DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS!

They had this meeting. They did not invite me. 5 years of my life and they’re still turning to the people who got us here to “fix it.”

New in PN: @oliverdarcy.bsky.social on a cowed mainstream press "Whether it’s Meta or Amazon or Bezos, it’s clear that Trump runs the show. That’s incredibly worrying. The whole job of the Fourth Estate is to hold the powerful accountable — not to bend the knee."
