This really, really sucks. It was a great show.
Thought I wouldn’t need to post this because it would make the rounds but I’m not seeing it in the TL so here’s a #GiftLink from the only coverage I’ve seen that Joy Ann Reid has been fired by MSNBC www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

@msnbc.com, don’t mess this up. The Weekend trio is 🔥—they keep it real & that’s what folks are looking for right now, but so does Joy Reid. She brings facts, truth & a perspective we can count on. We need that now more than ever.
Real talk: replace Morning Joe instead. Viewers are over it.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

People criticizing the Hunter Biden pardon need to recognize: For the 1st time, the FBI and Justice Department could literally fabricate evidence, or collaborate with a foreign government to “find” evidence of a “crime,” with zero accountability. That’s why the pardon goes back to 2014. Think, McFly

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

One year ago, Kash Patel, while sniffling repeatedly as he does in every interview (he just can’t shake that cold) promised to prosecute Hunter for new crimes. Then Trump names him FBI Director. He told you ahead of time he’s going after Hunter. So tired of the pearl clutchers.
