Less Hogg discourse 👋🏻

More discourse on how we are going to take back the House and maybe the Senate in the 2026 midterms—nothing else matters

Everything is so f*cked—and my biggest fear is that we will never be able to vote out this completely corrupt administration 😟

It’s almost like some of you have no fucking idea that control of the House and Senate is necessary to make this happen..

I know who I want in 2028—but really we only should be talking about 2026 right now—we must focus on flipping the House and Senate—then we deal w/ 2028

Turns out a notoriously sloppy drunk wasn’t the best choice for Secretary of Defense. So weird.

Spoiler Alert: Hegseth will not resign or be fired—in another time and place he would be—but nothing will happen to him—and our military will continue to be led by an incompetent fool who was a Fox ‘News’ weekend host 🤦🏼‍♂️

Let’s just remember that the previous Sec of Def Lloyd Austin was raked over the coals because he failed to disclose he was undergoing medical treatment for CANCER—the hypocrisy from the right is insane—because it is a cult—seriously 😒

Yes to @michelenorris.bsky.social sitting in for @ayman.msnbc.com today—I love Ayman but Michele is an excellent choice—we need more of her on @msnbc.com 🙌🏻

Never thought I’d see the day when the IRS is trying to remove Harvard’s tax exemption (via direction from a sitting US president) while Scientology remains untouched—we are living through the worst of times 😡

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

@matthewjdowd.bsky.social Glad to see you on here—once again you were spot on tonight with my girl @stephruhle.bsky.social 🙌🏻

I don’t know how those reporters can sit there and listen to this ridiculous bullshit that just pours out of the Press Sec — she is so f*cking awful — her tone alone is like nails on a chalkboard 😒

I’m deeply disturbed and upset over this ruling—we are not in war time and that fucker should not be able to remove people with no due process—they’ve already made mistakes and there will be more unfortunately—it didn’t have to be this way and I’m just really upset 😢
#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions:

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

A major victory for Democrats.

What if Lloyd Austin was married to a producer at MSNBC and casually brought her around to sensitive military meetings? That Pete Hegseth needs to resign 👋🏻
