@kaitlancollins.bsky.social: “ls she [Marjorie Taylor Greene] someone that you could see yourself working with?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “Uhh…on what?” [Laughter] “Listen, I think people can talk a good game. But until they actually support policy that helps people, I’m not particularly interested.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the latest in a line of right-wing figures who want Derek Chauvin to be pardoned.

Chauvin murdered George Floyd five years ago this month.

My thoughts, in this brief clip from today’s “Rising.”

Afrikaners, aka White South Africans, outrageously accorded a warm welcome as “refugees” by Trump …who has suspended refugee resettlement for everyone else.

Terry Moran handles this very well indeed.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · Apr 30

This exchange is so very telling.

Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:

"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Good for Pelley and the team to say this 👏🏼

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · Apr 28

SCOTT PELLEY says ‘60 Minutes’ executive producer Bill Owens resigned after Paramount started meddling in their content, because they wanted to get their merger approved by Trump — specifically mentioning their coverage of Israel and Trump.

If Biden or Obama had posted “Vladimir, stop,” right-wing media would have run mockery of such “weakness” on a loop for a week.

Fred Wellman @fpwellman.bsky.social · Apr 24

In my adult lifetime the Republicans went from “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to “Vladimir, STOP!”

“I don’t want to have any favorites,” says Trump, referring to a nation that was invaded (Ukraine) and the nation that invaded it (Russia).

An outright atrocity.

And one which it yet again falls to Israel’s Haaretz to expose.

Hegseth’s critics warned about his lack of managerial experience.

Now he’s holding on largely because Trump doesn’t want to bow to media criticism.

No need for moral equivocation when it comes to Josh Shapiro and arson —
