Eddie S. Glaude is brilliant and takes no shit of anybody. I always enjoy genuine pushback on Scarborough’s GD nonsense.

Scarborough skips a day and comes back twice as obnoxious. It is my sincere hope that when MSNBC departs, they decide to cut this “middle of the road republican” off at the knees.

Is it possible for Joe Scarborough to be more arrogant than he is right now? The show can be a good one, but too many times it is just unwatchable.

Why counter-gerrymandering is both necessary and justified: this authoritarian move by Trump and his loyal, compliant red state followers in places like Texas has to be met without hesitation: The very survival of our republic is at stake in this moment.

What do we think are the odds that Dump goes for broke and fires Fed Chief Powell over the weekend? Just takes his lumps for two economic firings all at once!! I’m putting the odds at 50-50 and that’s scary AF.

Morning Joe and Jonathan Lemire should be ashamed of the interview just conducted with Dumps Head of the Council of Economic Advisors. Absolutely NO PUSHBACK on an interview filled with nonsense and outright lies….not to mention none of it answered the questions asked.

This is insane. I’m trying to think what the reaction would have been if Mayorkas, DHS Secretary under Biden, had got his security folks to manhandle and shove Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz in this way.

I can imagine that James, Alexander, and John are smiling as they view the work they did all of those years ago establishing our Constitution. It may be maddeningly slow and unwieldy, but it will, in the end, grind DJT into dust.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Has ANYONE actually talked to and/or seen Mr Abrego Garcia? Whose word are we relying on for information about this man? The administration knew that deporting this man to El Salvador put him in real danger. Is there any doubt that he has already been singled out by the Salvadorans?
