I joined Nicolle Wallace to discuss Trump’s ongoing attacks on the rule of law and why Republicans are so willing to go along with it, the role of the courts in this moment, and whether there’s more that the pro-democracy movement can be doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwmr...

Sooo…We are paying for Trump’s ICE goons to abduct hardworking, tax paying immigrants so we can lock them up, pay for guards, shelter, food, etc. before spending millions to fly them somewhere else. I can think of better ways to use our tax money , like maybe Medicaid?

Is it just me or does anyone else thinks it’s weird that our president, a convicted felon, insists we get the criminals out of the country? Ironically he said this as he’s leaving for Scotland.🤪

Regardless of your opinion on Iran strike, Trump is showing a case of CHICKENING OUT, so far
Every time he considers action he backs. Remember after Iran attacked us troops, shot down 200 million dollar plane, etc?
As we have always said. Talks big but scared to death. Taco

Today 99 people from 45 different countries officially become U.S. citizens during a naturalization ceremony at the American Revolution Museum in Yorktown, VA. These ceremonies happen year-round nationwide. There is strength in our diverse, pluralistic society. We celebrate it!

I found @chrislhayes.bsky.social's interview with Schumer to be eye-opening. Now that I understand Schumer doesn't believe we're yet in a constitutional crisis, his tactical shortcomings make sense. But his position here is also deeply out of line with rank and file Dems. We need new leadership.

Trump fired hundreds at NOAA, Weather Service. Here’s what that means for forecasts.
