Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

After Eddie Murphy actually doing a (brilliant) impression (a welcome change from his limp 40th anniversary appearance), the SNL at 50 returnee I was most excited to see was former bandleader G.E. Smith, whose stage presence I was irrationally obsessed with in the late 80s.

The #SNL50 show has been great except for the shoplifting skit. Will Ferrell, whose best friend is trans, should not participate in a skit making light of prisoner sexual assault.

Hey, young, ambitious Democratic politicians, who want to be president one day: now is the time to take some political risks. Go rogue.

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it!
My fam knew what that meant.
THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Current personal financial situation compared with 5 years ago, net better minus worse, from Michigan survey:
October -6
November +5
So it's all about objective circumstances, right?

Re: government funding
170 Republicans voted yes. 34 voted no.
196 Democrats voted yes. Zero voted no.
Once again, Democrats do the responsible thing and save the GOP from themselves.
Thank you, Speaker Jeffries.

The stock market during each presidency. Large drops with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac crisis during Bush, and a mishandled public health crisis by Trump. Alternately, the biggest areas of growth have been under Democrats. Those thinking that the next four years will be prosperous are kidding themselves.

It's time to begin some economic scenario planning. Even with sound fiscal policy, the economy can be derailed by public health crises, irresponsible deregulation, social unrest, etc. There's no way this group of TV-personality cabinet members won't fuck up the US economy by the end of four years.
