Fascism is here.

We face a demented dictator emboldened by the American oligarchy.

We are the Spartans. The first wave on the beaches of Normandy.

Our job is to slow them down. To resist at every turn. To fight for every inch, while our reinforcements gather
In strength.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.

So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

Ron is correct. If you are terrified of the man you are supposed to be aggressively covering, retire. That television slot can be taken by someone with a spine.

Yep. And he gets all of this back now. All thanks to the corrupt, Trump-appointed Judge Cannon.
I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

The bait and switch is saying that predatory men will be in women’s bathrooms while the actual predators have been elected to office.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:
