Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

Yup. That was the end for me as well. So this move is not surprising at all. Traditional media is dead and buried.
I haven't watched MSNBC since Mika and Joe went down and kissed Trump's ass last November. MSNBC is dead to me.

Appreciate the sentiment. Tell it to the right wingers.
I abhor violence but I'm not a freaking doormat.
Do you see what's happening? "Radical left democrats" are now the cause of EVERYTHING. Just ignore the Republican rhetoric.
Not exactly "descalating" behavior, is it?

I agree, nobody should 'celebrate' this. I will never celebrate the death of any human being. I won't mourn his death either, anymore than I mourn a random obit in the newspaper. 1/6 #utah

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Thank you! We've got too much in front of us right now to spend a minute worrying about the next presidential cycle. We've got a machine to build and it ain't just about one job.
The midterms are more than a year away.
I get that we have a ton of exciting 2028 candidates, but I genuinely cannot handle any conversation around the Presidential Primary till Dec. 2026 at the earliest.

Trump’s regime branded Mexican cartels as terrorist groups.
Then they turned around and escorted 17 family members of a cartel prince into the U.S.
Congrats, folks! We're now Uber Black for narco royalty.

Trump just called the EU “nastier than China.”
Because nothing says “stable genius” like launching a trade war against your own allies while cozying up to authoritarian regimes.

“I spent $400 at the store and they didn’t buy ANYTHING from me. UNFAIR!”

You pay for goods.
