@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Please listen to @mika-brzezinski.bsky.social — drug use, mental health issues, and problems with youth persist. Yet the current admin is cutting funding for programs that could help, redirecting it to the wealthy. A hammer won’t fix this — the problems will remain.

When federal judges blocked executive orders issued by President Biden, Newt Gingrich had no objection.
But now that Donald Trump is President, he calls the same a “judicial coup d'état”

@nicollewallace.bsky.social thank you for reporting on the Sen. Jim Bank disparaging a laid off HHS worker. Shocking. We need to call out those that work for him as well. Ask them if they support and agree with his sentiments.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

#KristiNoem video and photo op in the El Salvadorian prison is, in my opinion, the most callous and reprehensible act by a member of the #Trump Administration, yet.
Yes, goulish, vile and foolish on every level!

It’s the Roy Cohn way.
The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Government abductions are unconstitutional.
Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional.
If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute…
They’ll get to you soon enough.
