This is what leadership looks like.

What say you, Barron Trump?

Just drove home and passed an FDNY crew from Ladder 10 on a call—as it’s windy and feels like 5 degrees. Shout out to them—and all the firefighters, cops, EMS and first responders out there tonight here in NYC and nationwide—and on so many nights when it’s tough.

A flat game, but still a fun one. Especially if you like defense. Much respect to Seattle for being one of the all time great ones. Dominant display.

Next year, Giants vs Jets!

There it is. In big games in the NFL, it’s not defenses that are the difference anymore. And it’s not the QB that makes the big play. It’s the QB that makes the bad play. And tonight that QB is Maye.

Here’s a different kind of pre-game. @maddow.bsky.social and I break down the game, make predictions, and lay down a big wager!

We also talk about a bunch of heavy (and inspiring) stuff in a really great show.

Decades ago, Jesse Ventura showed independent vets can disrupt and defeat the broken parties, unify voters from all backgrounds, and win elections.

We’re running 100 of them this fall.

It’s hard to get this many little kids to be quiet and focused. But legendary Coach Macky at Steady Buckets can do it—because he’s built a groundbreaking and vital youth development program grounded in respect, community and hard work. And looking out for your teammates.

Former independent Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura is BACK.

His beloved home state is under attack by ICE and Trump,

And he’s pulling NO punches.

This Duke/UNC game was nuts. And amazing. One of the best rivalry games in sports every single time. Never disappoints.

Thanks to my friend Paul Rieckhoff @rieckhoff.bsky.social for this good conversation! And for cajoling me into a bet I didn't want to make!
Is Trump unwell? Is he now a Mad King?

@maddow.bsky.social joins me for an extended, fascinating and fun Super Bowl special Independent Americans.

This cold is intense and dangerous. The coldest I can remember it being in NYC in a long time.

But there’s no rocket and missile attacks here—and it’s a whole lot easier than being in Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #DownWithPutin @amvets4ukraine.bsky.social 🗽🇺🇸🇺🇦

Of course it would also be very fun (and popular) if Billy Joe Armstrong ran as an independent.

Vets, if you’re independent and wanna run or support others, declare your independence from the broken parties and join the movement.

Vets, don’t join ICE. Join US!
We're looking for independent veterans who are interested in continuing to serve. Independent vets who are willing to step up.

If you're not a Republican or a Democrat, you've found your pack.

Join us and #LeaveTheHerds. #RunWithThePack.🐺🇺🇸🎆

Defining moment tomorrow at the Super Bowl halftime for the powerful, iconic and important Green Day.

America needs them to NOT be silent. If they lose money, they can afford it. And they’ll again be on the right side of history. As they have been so many times before.
Green Day dragged again Trump, Miller, Noem and ICE. I hardly can wait to see them play at the Super Bowl.

They talk “mad king” Trump, Congress finally pushing back, and why disciplined, non‑violent, mass resistance is still our best move. Plus: ice fishing, Chloe Kim, Jets‑fan kids & a Patriots–Seahawks Super Bowl bet.
