Just listening to Lawrence’s excellent discussion of Susie Wild. If she says Trump has an alcoholic personality, she should acknowledge that she is an irresponsible enabler.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

@maddow.msnbc.com The tariffs are turning into a rather lucrative side hustle for the administration. Trade lobbying has boomed, and carve-outs are growing, two signs that the bureaucracy is certainly making some people very rich. From Kyla Scanlons opinion in NY Times today.

Lee and Moreno had assumed (or simply fabricated) that the guy that murdered the representative was a Marxist or leftist; of course we know now he was a right wing Christian nationalist anti-choice anti-gay fanatic, just like them.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

Now Stephen Miller is talking constitutional rubbish about a supposed presidential power to suspend habeas corpus to get back at federal courts that displease Trump too much. But only Congress has suspension power — and then only when “public safety requires it” in times of “invasion or rebellion.”
