Is MSNOW going to be a hateful LIBERAL channel? Certainly sounded like that on their weekend “talk” show tonight with hints in the last couple of weeks. I’m now permanently turning the channel off on Saturdays, Sundays. I’m a progressive and I despise any form of prejudice. Ayman, Antonia, okay

Lots of anger on blue sky. Hooray for Jeff Merkley, who spoke a lot in 22 hours about possibility. It’s no surprise that we despise DT and his authoritarian regime. What’s the plan. Organize, CREATE, push democratic values. We will eventually win. BELIEVE THAT. BELIEVE THAT. BELIEVE THAT !

Bret Stephens…I am Jewish. Your views on Israel and Netanyahu are far MORE disturbing to me than Mamdami. In fact, Israel has disappointed me for many years. I’m 88. I was raised in an orthodox home, which gave big bucks to Israel. Israel isn’t the Israel my grandmother and all intended it to be.

Not what you were expecting? Try voting for candidates from a DIFFERENT party in November to avoid more of the same. (Voting the same way over and over again while hoping for change is the definition of INSANITY!)

I appreciate EVERY BRILLIANT word Steve Schmidt utters…I’ve always been a democrat and yet now it’s his rhetoric that has my old 88 year old body ready to do what I can to see fascism die in America. Help the Lincoln project. Pay attention to his words. Feel some optimism that we have his words.

Okay media…what don’t u get about a mafia boss? He doesn’t care about the polls. His plan is to be a dictator so while 60% of public doesn’t support him, he doesn’t give a hoot because he can so he will. Damn I wish you understood. He’s the boss. He’s mean as hell. And he is destroying democracy

Senate Republicans just voted to give a lawless president a blank check and push the country toward a shutdown — rejecting our commonsense plan to fund the government and protect health care.
We serve the American people, not a king. Republicans should too.

Ben Rhodes: Brazil delivers a lesson in democracy America can’t ignore
This week, Brazil made history by convicting and sentencing its former president, Jair Bolsonaro, for plotting a coup to remain in power. MSNBC analyst Ben Rhodes stresses the global significance of this moment for democracies everywhere—and the urgent lessons the United States must learn about holding lawless leaders accountable. “I think it’s important for us to do some soul-searching in this country,” Rhodes said. “If you give authoritarians an inch, they take a mile.”

We all really should be paying attention to this event. Was it just another Epstein Distraction? Who else will die because if trump chaos? Damn awful.
Seems that way. They said they know, so why haven't they identified who was on it? Out of respect for their privacy?
More likely, they had no clue who or what was on it or where it was headed.
All we know is they saw a civilian boat and blew it up and bragged about it.
That's just murder.

So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat:
✅ they had no idea where it was going
✅ they had no idea who was on it
✅ they had no established authority to act
✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it
Everyone involved should rot in prison forever

I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
