This time last year, Jamilah* was facing an uncertain future in Pakistan.

Today, Jamilah is reunited with her family in the U.S., thriving in high school, and can finally build a future in safety.

Jamilah is (still) welcome here. 💙

Bottom line:
This isn’t budget policy, it’s a power grab. It strips judges of their ability to enforce the law and gives government officials a green light to ignore court orders. It’s authoritarian by design and it’s buried in the fine print.

“In history written by men, the women who most largely influenced the fate of the nation are but alluded to. Many women are almost entirely ignorant of the deeds of their sex in the past.”

I just saw Trump’s latest executive order targeting trans kids and shutting down their health care. I’m asking all of us to stand up with one voice for the trans community.

And @maddow.msnbc.com's opening tonight was *also* 🔥. It is so refreshing to turn on the news and feel like you're not crazy in your alarm.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

This is the most psychotic thing I’ve maybe ever seen in politics and that’s truly saying something!
scoop: will oklahoma be the first state to ban renewable energy? its becoming increasingly likely.

as investments from the inflation reduction act flow into red states, we're seeing backlash. republicans are disliking renewables *more* than before.

Expertise is important when it comes to making decisions based on facts and science, whether it's about health or the environment. Discrediting expertise is part of a dangerous far-right strategy that is part of the "choose your own adventure" Trumpy version of reality.

There's value to imagining some things from other points of view, or trying to understand those other views, but deciding that deregulation is nifty and maybe the judges who've proven to be bad will be good is tying a bow on the bomb.

Bloodless coup, cont'd. As opposed to 2021's bloody coup attempt.
Spent the day talking to Europeans, and nobody can think of any precedent for what Musk just did to the US Congress. There is no businessman with that much power, the power to stop a routine spending bill, anywhere else in the democratic world.

Just thinking about the time 20,000 women took to the street of NYC to demand better working conditions. Their leader was a 23 year-old woman. The police attacked them on the picket line and The Mink Brigade protected them. This is their story.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social's hour-long special about SEPARATED was incredible. grateful. as I said, Errol's film is a forensic examination of what happened by an Oscar-winning team but also a reminder of power citizens, career officials and civil society has now. SEPARATED airs December 7 on MSNBC.
