On short notice, 15 hardy souls turned out in Bartlett IL in sub-freezing temperatures on Saturday to protest the U.S. invasion of Venezuela! One lady quickly made this sign. Note the purple bruises on the back of the hands. 🤣 😂 #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com #LastWord @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

Many thanks to the Polka-Dot Dress Lady for bravely expressing the sentiment of many Americans! Reminds me of the single protestor in front of a column of tanks in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989. #Maddow #LastWord

“One woman in a polka-dot dress showing more courage than half of Congress ever will,” remarked someone on Bluesky.

The Bartlett IL "NO KINGS" protest was BIG on June 14. A crowd of 500 stretched around the corners and down the streets of a busy intersection in this West Suburban Chicago village of 43,000. Many motorists honked, waved, and gave the thumbs up in support. #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com #LastWord

Eleven devoted protesters turned out with their signs in Bartlett IL today (April 19). We drew many favorable honks, waves, and 👍 at a busy intersection. Motorists frequently showed their delight or verbally thanked us for getting out and serving as a local voice for the T***p resistance. #Maddow

Federal workers have families. They have mortgage or rent payments and car loans due. They pay federal, state, and local taxes. And they may be your neighbor. They are not faceless “bureaucrats.” They are people hired to do a job for all of us!

Remember how relatively normal the days were during the Biden Administration when competent, serious professionals were running the country? Nothing like the chaotic daily clown show now roiling virtually every hour of every day. Sigh!!

Put Senators Collins and Murkowski in the MAGA column. They are not “moderates.” And Mitch McConnell? He’s far beyond “a day late and a dollar short.”

Looks like the only red lines left to cross for Senate Republicans are the confirmation votes on Kash Patel and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Bet they will cross those red lines also. Very disappointed with Murkowski and Collins.

Ironic that Mitch McConnell was the only Republican senator to vote against Tulsi Gabbard. Where were you in 2020 and 2021, Mitch, when Trump was tried by the Senate after the House impeached him?

Just joined the ACLU, which is an organization that will do everything legally possible to help block the attempted coup by the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and his Chief Twit (Elon Musk). I used to belong years ago when I was a litigator, but let my membership lapse. I'm back, baby!
