@cnn.com DANA BASH did a good job interviewing Greg Bovino this morning, and calling out Kristi Norm for defaming and lying about Alex Pretti “brandishing” a gun. Keep shedding light on this gruesome event.

@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. Focusing on the FEMA guy’s wardrobe was embarrassing. Focus on what he did or did not do; not his hat.i know you’re angry, but you lose your point when focusing on wardrobe.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

journalists: Do not confuse the vast majority of peaceful protestors with the few troublemakers and anarchists trying to escalate the confrontations. You are not on the side of those concerned with the inhumanity of this administration.

@mayor.lacity.gov Mayor Karen Bass is a solid spokesperson/leader on the subject of the ridiculous overreach and provocation of sending National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles.
Thank you for your clarity Mayor Bass.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it.
It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

Lawrence O’Donnell’s program was essential viewing tonight, Feb 11. Well done Lawrence and Nicholas Kristof. You hit the nail on the head of what is wrong. Trump and Musk do not know what they are doing! And they don’t care!
