Bravo @pablo.show and @ayman.msnbc.com on the stellar @chrislhayes.bsky.social show about the good, bad, and ugly of the World Cup. Spot on: diversity was on display and diversity and excellence are two sides of the same coin.

Powerful. A fitting theme for every Dem message: the difference b/t Repub. governance and Dem governance is that Democrats believe that the government should not try to screw you at every turn. Yes, Dems are flawed but believe in the public good. Rep governance favors the wealthy and the powerful.

This👇🏾They clearly do not know what they are doing. Perhaps if you hadn’t fired so many good people, Mr Hegseth, you would have known to advise this President against this senseless war. You don’t need T-test… wrong letter — you all need the JCPOA.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Way to go @maragay.bsky.social on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social today. You made a cogent, calm, and compelling argument for the Dems who condemn the scourge of anti-semitism AND believe our outsized monetary support of Israel has outlived its purpose. Great conversation, Joe. More Mara!!!

@ms.now Where are the stellar Ayman, Antonia, Catherine, and Elise today? Weekend: Primetime? What’s happening?

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social — stellar show — superior to other predictable analyses. Lawrence w/ Tribe, Bright, and Booker delivered a nuanced powerful perspective— elevating the exquisite opinion written by Ketanji Brown Jackson who eviscerated Clarence Thomas’ poorly argued opinion

Way to go @samsteindc.bsky.social on hard questions for GOP representative on Morning Joe. More journalism that does not permit folks to lie is needed. So so refreshing.

@maddow.bsky.social —- more of Steven J Ross! What a show! Disturbing but enlightening.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social is a national jewel. He speaks truth to Power with fervor, authenticity, and conviction. Listen to his monologue tonight about the very dangerous, sadistic Robert Kennedy and the psychotic, selfish, immoral occupant of the Oval Office.

Pete Hegseth insists they were “fully prepared” for this war. If you were prepared, why is POTUS asking for help from countries and then surprised they are saying no? If you were really prepared, you’d have talked with our allies b4 this moment. Is there a reporter out there who will ask this?

Loving @crooked on @ms.now Not sure if it’s the fact that it’s a nice summation of the week’s news events delivered from a perspective I don’t often reference OR is it that this week’s news has been so enraging but engaging. Good idea to try this format out ms.now!

If you want to hear a deep, nuanced discussion about our current politics and overall malaise… listen to @nicolewallace.bsky.social “The Best People” with E Glaude, M Landrieu, and T Nichols. It’s not about one thing and one solution. We’ve got to face some hard truths yet not lose heart to act.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social is a gem. NO ONE speaks so clearly and forcefully about the corruption, incompetence, greed and immorality of Trump and his administration. Lawrence’s Disgust was on display tonight and 70% of America is with him.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social is a treasure. He speaks truth with a moral clarity that resonates with any listener.

Rather than apologize or just acknowledge the survivors of the our most notorious sex trafficker, Pam Bondi decided to quote the DOW averages. She, who wears a cross, chose to focus on money rather than empathy. What does it gain you, Ms Bondi, to gain this power you crave and lose your soul?

Bravo @chrislhayes.bsky.social — clarity about just how bad Trump is- the litany last week of the blatant racist acts of the Trump admin over time. and the comparison tonight of worker compensation vs corporate elites compensation. Clear, insightful and worth sharing everywhere!!

A church in Minneapolis is speaking truth to power

@nicolewallace.bsky.social ❤️you Dateline WH for sharing the heartfelt but disturbing resignation letters from current DOJ. 1 summed up DOJ’s cruel strategy: dismiss (?) erase, and insult. Interesting: an ugly DEI. Ken Burns: what makes US beautiful: e pluribus unum=diversity, equity, & inclusion.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com bravo! Bravo! On calling out @jd-vance-1.bsky.social who says 0 about this disturbing coverup. If he says “something” will it be an empty defense? That makes sense— he’s an empty man who’s lost his soul or will he call us woke, socialists…more empty words from an empty VP

@indivisible.org : I was not pleased w/ the vote of the 6 Dems; yet to describe this as caving returns us to the infighting that weakens us. Be mad but not for long. To do so, takes the attention away from the immoral actions of today’s GOP. And for Gods sake stop the purity tests for our big tent.

@arimelber.bsky.social — great to hear about A R Sorkin’s brilliant 1929! But you didn’t let him talk!!! Come on, man! In interviews by Nicolle & even AM Joe— we actually learned about the book. We know you are cool and know a great deal but you don’t have to remind us in every show. 💕 u anyway.

heartbroken at the killing of Charlie Kirk. our outrage cannot be misplaced in the initial days of this horror. @ msnbc.com: the firing @matthewjdowd.bsky.social was rash & thoughtless. You disappoint again. Charlie Kirk would have been the first to defend Matthew’s words & his apology

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com your authentic emotion tonight was moving. It reflected our collective mourning. Every country has mentally ill people; every country has vile people, but this: the US has a firearm death rate nearly 25x higher than other high-income nations & a homicide rate 26 x higher.

@theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social hit it out of the park tonight. @pablo.show Torres is awesome and the combo of the brilliant C Greer - and Daniel Koh was an insightful stroke of genius!

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com —Bravo on bringing us Dr Blight. We should all be ready to join his fight to host a debate about the Trump administrations efforts to change our history — and hide important truths . “American history is a pluralistic narrative…worth sharing. What are they afraid of?

@nicollewallace.bsky.social a must see for pro democracy allies: today’s Deadline WH panel w/ 3 passionate thought leaders— E Swalwell, the “preacher” E Glaude, & the brilliant M Norris: we must fight MAGA’s abuse of the Christian message, i.e.,fight like Jesus-w/righteous indignation. Nicolle-more!

2/2 THIS? And not the thousands of jobs lost at FEMA, NOAA, CDC— risking our lives nationwide? THIS and not the human cruelty on display each day by cross-wearing hypocrites? Hillary was right. Deplorable. I could care less about these files unless the injustices to the harmed girls are remedied.

@msnbc.com: Is THIS, the J Epstein files, the “ thing” that separates MAGA from their leader? THIS? & not the loss of medicaid funding & support of rural hospitals to benefit the rich? THIS? And not allowing food to rot simply to deny it to millions of starving children. 1/2

Well said @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com We are witnessing on the day this cruel bill passed and on the day that US AID ceased to exist— the banality of cruelty. Thank you for reminding us that the senseless cruelty is real is at the heart and IN the hearts of Republicans

@msnbc.com you’re doing a good job covering the feud b/t the 2 ego bros who’ve destroyed our govt & made us less safe. Here’s the Elon tweet I’m waiting for: “Guess what? Donald Trump really lost the 2024 election & I can prove it.” True? truth no longer matters, does it? Elon, spill the tea.

@theweekendprime.bsky.social you hit it out of the park again. Stroke of genius to have the I’ve Had It podcasters on. Have them again!!

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

@msnbc.com one of the best additions to the new lineup: Weekend Primetime; what a stellar, diverse group of journalists. Tonight: a poignant, textured, moving commentary, re: the horrific killing of 2 Jewish young adult-a jewel of a show @ayman.msnbc.com @ahylton26.bsky.social @crampell.bsky.social

The B4 — Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires is proof positive that the GOP is NOT the party for the working class. Dems— we have never left the working class and the poor but our messaging has been shameful. Share this excellent Q&A about this bill. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde shares with @facethenation.bsky.social about her "deep concern" that the messages of Christianity & the teachings of Jesus Christ were being "distorted" by public officials:

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social @stephruhle.bsky.social …way to go tonight, showing the faces & stories behind Trump’s cruel, random cuts. Many moving moments: Corey Booker mtg his inspiring constituent-priceless. The incompetency is shocking but the immoral cruelty should break every American’s heart.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

/2 ❤️ the Weekend crew - soon to be at 7, but there’s still an intellectual hole in your line up. You’ve replaced Joy w/ 2 blk pundits treating us as if we’re replacement parts w/i the cold machinery of @msnbc. Won’t work. Bring unique voices like @joyannreid.bsky.social back. Still grieving.

@msnbc Michelle Norris at 7pm slot— so good tonight. She’s a journalistic powerhouse. Her brilliant interrogation re: Trump administration’s assault on museums was insightful … “ evolution not revolution.” this is the kind of depth & variety we’ve become accustomed to at 7 with Joy. /1

@maddow.msnbc.com tonight— clear explanation of the $TRUMP meme coin “contest” for gullible supporters. This doesn’t serve any cause that benefits America. It only pads the pockets of DJT- the most corrupt, incompetent pres. in US history. Can you imagine if Pres. Obama had done this? Thoughts?

When will the Trump voter & the GOP legislative lemmings admit: the Emperor has no clothes. Perhaps, like the classic parable, an innocent, clear-eyed child among them will scream—“ but he hasn’t anything on!” And perhaps the whole town will cry out at last- he’s naked! & w/o competence or kindness

@maddow.msnbc.com is listing the massive number of mistakes the Trump administration has made in the last 90 days. Days full of oops…mistakes…accidental texts…errors…reversals…dumb self-inflicted acts. Don’t let anyone tell you this administration is competent.

/2 Further, you’ll notice in his sick message about his enemies he used the same words we have been using about him and his administration: “unvetted, unchecked, incompetent, doesn’t know what he’s doing, moron…” that’s telling. He’s been triggered.Good.

Not enough has been said about Trumps “Easter Message”. As a practicing person of faith, I found it disgusting and blasphemous. He juxtaposed the sacred Easter moment with his hatred and consistent retribution-laden words. In full view you can see what a mean-spirited, vile man he is. /1

@msnbc.com More of Michelle Norris, please. She was splendid on Ayman tonight. She’s brilliant, her insightful questions, excellent; she brings a unique perspective just as Joy Reid did.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social -I heard most of riveting interview w/Judge E Salas. Question: Are most of these awful judge threats coming from Trump supporters angry abt rulings? Or is this evil coming from both left & right equally? I know she’s about justice, not party, but clarity leads to change

@pablo.show —so insightful with @nicollewallace.bsky.social today as you shared the jarring sickness in Trump world: their words: “money never mattered to us. It’s about our national identity.” I guess we were right all along. It wasn’t about the price of eggs. Keep speaking truth to power, Pablo!

So right @anatosaurus.bsky.social Cory Booker has demonstrated such a leadership sign tonight. Soul-stirring. I, for one, needed this moral moment.

@booker.senate.gov THANK YOU Cory Booker for your moral moment!!! Your stamina, spirit, and soul-stirring words will make a difference. We’ve got our mojo back.
