Donald Trump is an anti-constitutional president who finds new ways every day to violate his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States"

Here, he tells military leaders they will play a major role in fighting the "war from within" in American cities

Unconscionable
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot.

Gone.

Annihilated.

Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration.

Ever.

please join me in the fight to save our libraries.

EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

After hurricane Helene, North Carolina residents were badly hurt because Trump spread misinformation about FEMA

So why does the GOP keep lying about the organization

They want to make sure we don’t trust ANYTHING unless it comes from Trump

It’s part of their quest to permanently control America
House Republicans are now just making stuff up on Fox to justify Trump's push to kill FEMA

Fears have escalated with the Trump³⁴'s anti-LGBTQ actions and the release of his J6 goons onto our streets

⚠️ 🧵On Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth refuses to answer if he supports the use of active duty military in US detention camps.

Fairly confident we ALL know the answer.

But wait, there’s more!

Trump's AG nominee withdrew due to charges he was a sexual predator, while Trump's DoD nominee may survive charges that *he* was a sexual predator, as we learn multiple House Republicans texted a 1/6 witness asking for "sexual favors" and, uh, maybe Dems could draw a bright line around all this?
