@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com brilliant analysis this evening. I loved finding more perspective on being the Senate maj leader, which I too have wished would change. I still wish that. I think Schumer's time is pretty much up. He's tone deaf. But I do understand no one is coming for that mantle.

I thought @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com's monologue tonight was absolutely brilliant. It's a perspective on "who caved" that no one else is saying and it makes just as much sense as anything anyone else is mad about. I have to say that I definitely felt a whole lot differently after I saw it.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

This is how Trump's authoritarian regime treats the elected representative for forty million Americans
Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed.

This is the USA in June 2025: a United States Senator was forcibly removed from the Secretary of Homeland Security’s press conference. Members of Congress, wake up: this could be any of you. Stand together as one to check emergent autocracy, or watch our Republic fall, divided.

Trump/Musk and the entire GOP has spent the last four months systematically liquidating disease cure research in the United States. Lots of critical cure studies shuttered mid-way through. Research shutdown everywhere. It's all hands on deck to prevent new treatments for cancer, ahlzeimers etc.
You start to get why they're the pro-cancer party
Markwayne Mullin: "It's interesting the timing of them releasing the cancer. It seems like since the Hur tapes were released, they're like, 'Hey wait, it might be a good time to distract the American people and talk about his cancer.'"
