Time to not do business with any company on this list who has funded the destruction of the White House without any oversight or permitting. The entities who have funded this so far must be held accountable for this damage and to our democratic republic. (List presented MSNBC/Chris Hays.)

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Is anyone clocking that Team TACO has just declared open war on all predominantly democratic areas of the country?

I mean…am I alone here being shocked and appalled.

@msnbc.com Elise Jordon, please formulate your questions in advance and state them more succinctly. Stop wasting so much time of your Weekend colleagues and guests. Also, stop repeatedly asking the same “what are democrats going to do in congress” (and Dems are polling poorly) question.

Time for all states with normal effective public health infrastructure and vaccine mandates to impose a quarantine on anyone entering their state from Florida and any other states that eliminates normal vaccine policy and access. The social contract and are obligations to each other still matter.
🤒 the Florida rejection of the vaccine 💉 mandate will make all of us sicker.

It’s probably a matter of time before other countries require us to show our vaccination records before entering their countries. 😵‍💫

All “blue states” with intact state public health departments should immediately consider instituting quarantine measures for anyone entering their state coming from or returning home from Florida and and any other state that has done away with essential vaccine and public health practice.

We need to be gathering documentation, records and names for a formal public truth and reconciliation process of all the inhumane, illegal and extraconstitutional actions of people like this guy who think it’s now all OK to harm and torture humans.

The question I ask myself every day: "Do I want to live the rest of my life FREE? Do I want my children to live the rest of their lives FREE?"

Because when I am clear about the answer to those questions, all the hard decisions....become easy decisions. I know exactly what I need to do, say, write.

Watched the movie “The Penguin Lessons” last night (Netflix). A gem! Recently arrived foreign English teacher assigned to a private boarding school arrives in 1976 in Argentina within the backdrop of the Argentina coup. Numerous parallels to what’s happening now in US. (Book by same title too.)…

Both Democracy Docket and the Washington Post have new stories today about the fight over Texas redistricting. DD is focusing on the GOP weaponizing government. WaPo thinks it is Democrats who are taking a "risk gambit" to fight back.

I've been rereading JFK's speeches, and it's pretty crazy how many banger quotes he had in fewer than three years of his presidency. Just a ridiculous number of quotes that no one's got close to matching since. He's probably only second to Lincoln in the rhetorical game.

“Social” media propelled the rise of the idiocracy. Artificial “intelligence” will end us all. Nothing social about social media and nothing intelligent or humane in AI without total human oversight and smart, informed, and well-prepared humane moderation and control of AI deployment.
Just because a man with immoral amounts of wealth tells us that AI is the future, it doesn't mean it has to be the future.

@msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social Please have your chyron operator put up the names and titles of your interviewees. They are verbally disclosed at the beginning of each segment, but if one wants to read more about them and you don’t have their name or affiliation, it’s less useful to watch you.

Jim Crow was the second uprising of the Confederacy.

MAGA is the third.
