Gov. Pritzker is doing a great job. Keep showing these news conferences, @msnbc.com

"This escalation of violence is targeted and intentional and pre-meditated," Illinois Gov. Pritzker says of the Trump admin.'s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago.

"Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago ... was just complete BS."

Governor Pritzker is doing a great job highlighting ICE abuses, complete with video. Thanks to @msnbc.com for showing it. We need more coverage of this.

I wish the DNC were also doing daily news conferences to highlight the Trump outrages. Pete Buttegieg would be a great spokesman for these.

If your ABC station is owned by Sinclair, you'll want to continue the boycott and contact your local ABC station to complain. Here's a list of what Sinclair owns:

The same ICE ad has been running in Denver for the last week. I assume it's showing nationwide.

As with so many other important things today, we need to rely on the states to keep this history alive. History Colorado has done a great job recreating the Amache Internment Camp, both online and at the museum.

Wow! This Homan bribery scandal should lead the news everywhere. And don't forget the Epstein files!

Sen. Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov · 18d

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

We miss you, Matthew. Now I have to wonder if every single person left on MSNBC is holding back for fear of the same fate. MSNBC wasn't ever perfect, but it was overall better than the competition. Now, the most reliable sources are on-line on YouTube and BlueSky. I hope you can find another home.

Do we know if the Tikvah Fund grant went through regular review (panel, staff, National Council) before award by the Chair? Chair's Grants without that review are limited. Also curious if anyone has obtained the grant proposal under FOIA.

I'll happily watch any channel that re-hires Matthew Dowd. He told the truth and in rather mild terms at that. Shame on MSNBC.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 24d

It's all asymmetrical, unfair and unbalanced, titled towards right wing grievance and Trump.

All of it.

Matthew Dowd fired for speaking the truth.

Brian Kilmeade still paid despite advocating for the murder of all homeless people.

Kirk is a racist, misogynist, white supremacist. This should be reported right along with all his other views.

Here is a memorial in Salzburg on the eastern end of the Mirabell Palace grounds commemorating 250 victims of "euthanasia" in 1941, one of several sites where Hitler ordered use of carbon monoxide to exterminate undesireables in hospitals. Germans/Austrians admit to their past. Will Fox/ Kilmeade?

Horrifying white supremacist, fascist, misogynist garbage from Kirk. Before anybody thinks about celebrating this guy's life, please watch this.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 27d

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I'm glad to see the bipartisan condemnation of this shooting. Why didn't we see this when Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in June??

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 28d

Glad to see this response from Democrats. This is appropriate and decent.

And I want to remind everyone that Trump mocked Paul Pelosi, who was nearly killed by a deranged conspiracy theorist. Trump mocked him publicly at the RNC after surviving the assassination attempt.

Here in Colorado, we expected this move by Trump. The entire bipartisan delegation wanted to keep Space Force here. So moving this to Alabama might help a little in defeating Evans and Boebert, both in purple districts.
