After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
Breaking News: President Trump said he was taking control of the police in Washington, D.C., and deploying 800 National Guard troops there in response to “out of control” crime — even though violent crime in the city has fallen. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/3H9yVcu

Why are democrats waiting for Texas to gerrymander? Be bold. Go big. Go first. Play offense.

Or wait until Texas goes first and we don’t have enough time to get it done and only match them seat by seat so we don’t appear too aggressive.

One of these is the winning strategy.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror.

After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

Call him out now
Just four hours ago, even after we’ve learned the shooter was as an anti-abortionist Trump supporter, a sitting U.S. Senator is spreading fake conspiracy theories blaming the murder of a Democratic lawmaker on Democrats.

Not only that, he’s pinned the post!

Abominably evil stuff from Mike Lee.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

Would probably be a good idea if California @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov did a quick video statement describing the legality/illegality of what is happening and the legal basis for the position the Gov. intends to take. Better than letting confusion build and folks hashing it out on social media.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right.

Don’t believe me?

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Pam Bondi is a liar, propagandist and criminal accomplice. Kilmar Abrego Garcia never received a court hearing and due process. Pam Bondi is an eternal stain on the Justice Department and justice itself.
REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence?

BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country

R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence?

BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

Rachel Maddow’s interview with Eric Holder should be required viewing. He and Cory Booker aren’t mincing words: this is a moral moment. The threat is real. The time is now. We fight back in unison—or we risk losing everything we’ve built.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada and has started a trade war with them, bringing relations with our neighbor to their lowest point in any of our lifetimes.

If you think it's okay to confirm his ambassador anyway, you lack the gravity to serve in any office, much less U.S. Senator.

The thing about Trump’s team is that we learn how many morally bankrupt, marginally intelligent, men of utterly average substance have walked among us, seemingly successful, running money-making firms, CEOs and venture capitalists - even the richest man in the world.

They have been unmasked.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.
