Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

Stunning charts show how disproportionately the Roberts Court favors the Trump regime.
"This pattern exemplifies what scholars call 'autocratic legalism'—the systematic weaponization of legal institutions to consolidate power while maintaining the appearance of legal process."

Schiff has voted with Trump 32 times since January. He gets on TV to talk tough and then literally votes for Trump’s agenda.
Donald Trump doesn't care about law enforcement.
He cares about power.
It's why he's deploying military personnel to Los Angeles. And it's why he pardoned the violent criminals who attacked Capitol Police on January 6th.

Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Maine's voting culture is the best in the nation. I am confident that under the SAVE Act, our state can both ensure that only citizens can cast ballots and that no one faces unnecessary barriers to registering to vote.

Remember when you convinced 9 other Democratic senators to betray the country and enable this like two weeks ago
While markets plunge and retirement accounts reel from Trump’s tariffs:
Elon and DOGE are taking a blowtorch to Social Security
They shut down local offices
They shut down phone services
They shut down website services
And now they’re proposing another round of mass layoffs

Tomorrow’s completely illegal action from the Trump regime. One of many, no doubt.
Trump set to sign executive order shuttering the Department of Education
The president campaigned extensively on a promise to dismantle the department and appointed an education secretary keen to carry out the task.
