Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

If the Senate passes a bill, the House will have no choice.

You misheard them… they said “sleeps”

It’s not law enforcement… it’s thuggery.

Consumer protection groups, why don’t you toot your own horns for once? More than any recent election, the issues on the table this year were consumer issues—landlord/tenant, childcare, mass transit, healthcare, utility costs—especially electricity, rising food prices and so on.

Maybe… just maybe all the traditional thinkers are out of touch. They have been for a while, but they refuse to learn

Stupid… even Trump said the shutdown hurt Republicans. It’s on them to change course.

Mamdami getting over 50% means there is no spoiler talk… he WON this. It’s not a split decision leaning in his favor. He won outright.

Yes. Agreed

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Scaramucci was describing Jon Stewart. Reality showman policy wonk.

The Democratic Party also serves its corporate masters. Trying to make it seem like it’s just the GOP that does that is nonsense. That’s the kind of incredible statement that loses the Democratic Party voters. You’re full of shit and they know it.

@msnbc.com
Deadline White House today is absolutely terrible. All about elections. All about horse race. None of it about actual facts. None of it about accountability for the action. All tactic and rhetoric. And the Democratic Party has already proven itself to be completely inept rhetorically.

@msnbc.com your focus on 26 is irresponsible. Talking to strategists about an election more than a year away is covering the game… it’s not a game. And those strategist lost two elections to Trump.
Try doing the news and not the horse race

They have normalized his behavior since day one.

Because the media no longer acts from a place of reporting the truth.
political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.

Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?

Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

It was our involvement in the Regime in Iran that led to the revolution.

Saw you on MSNBC this morning. Been a long time since I’ve seen that. Always appreciate your viewpoint.

This is a list of shame. And any money client should never hire one of these firms for anything. Not a damn thing.

Unfortunately, that’s been everyone’s attitude. Someone else needs to stop him.

How about you stand up and do it, sir?

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Sen. Schumer is fundamentally out of touch with what’s going on. His flaccid, wrote political analysis is business as usual in unusual times. Trump is at war with the government he runs, to break it…. All of it. Schumer complains as he watches from the side.

This is applaudable.

And then there is Schumer…

Assume they intend to brake it

Doesn’t sound very objective to me.
These people are just propaganda all the time. You can’t expect more than talking points, no matter what the role. Even Attorney General.

It’s kind of shocking how smug this guy is. He smiles when he lies. He makes light of things that are important. And he does it with this condescending look and tone like you’re stupid to even question it. Who falls for this shit?

The issue isn’t what affect it had on this particular mission. And if the media lets him get away with that, they will once again have failed miserably at their jobs.

For sure they were trying to avoid any records for any reason.
