Outraged to learn that @joy.msnbc.com has been canceled. She’s one of the best. And I agree with other commentators: give us more @wagnertonight.msnbc.com as well. They’re the best on the network right now.
both would be terrific: MSNBC is considering on-air host positions for Eugene Daniels, a co-author of Politico’s influential Playbook newsletter, and Melissa Murray, a professor at the New York University School of Law

A good read: “Theoreticians of nonviolent action have often said that nonviolent resistance — noncooperation, counter-propaganda, obstruction, general strikes, nonviolent sabotage — is the most effective way to fight fascism.”

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.
JFK Library in Dorchester temporarily closed due to workers' ‘sudden dismissal.’ National Archives says it will reopen Wednesday - The Boston Globe
“The sudden dismissal of federal employees at the JFK Library forced the museum to close today,” the JFK Library Foundation said in a statement.

This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.
Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.
3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec
