Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

This!!!! Let’s go American. No matter what they say. No one has immunity and all soldiers must follow the law it’s in their code of ethics!!
It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

If you're interested in this topic you can watch this interview I did on Substack or read this (co)author's book: The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony asharangappa.substack.com/p/class-48-h...
Class 48. Harnessing a Common Identity to Promote Democracy
Is there a way to get people to identify with the traits that unite, rather than divide us to change their thinking and behave in our collective interests?

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Nuremberg Trials. In 2018, I spent an afternoon with Ben Ferencz who, at the age of 99, was the last living prosecutor of the Nazis. Here’s what he had to say in “Fahrenheit 11/9” about the dark turn the world was taking.

Michiganders are sharing their health insurance premiums increases with me… not 10% or 20%, but in one example - $200/month to $2900/month.

Republicans have tried to kill the ACA more than 70 times since 2010, and have never once had a plan for anything better.

Truly vile behavior from this President, and we all have to call it out for what it is: dangerous and un-American rhetoric from a man who wants to be king.

NEW: Donald Trump today endorsed a call to hang Democratic members of Congress. This is not just another Trump transgression. This is another warning.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

I want ask you if freedom is important to you? Then I want to ask you to repost this video & across your socials & ask your followers the same thing.

Because they aren't just detaining undocumented people. They are also detaining permanent residents & citizens & you could be next.

🚨BREAKING: A panel of three federal judges ruled to block Texas from using its new racially gerrymandered congressional map in the upcoming 2026 election — dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s national effort to rig the 2026 election by creating more Republican congressional seats.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

Well, well, well. How many of the GOP will vote this week to release the full Epstein files? 50? 100?
Watching project 2025 unravel because of the conspiracy theory he started, is fascinating.
Fat lying fuck is big mad!

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit.

Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Again, the White House is trying to stop Americans in need from receiving food.
Cruelty is the point.
After using hungry Americans as pawns, this will only make it more difficult for families in need to put food on the table.
