. @msnbc.com has made a number of bad decisions in the last year. They're still the only news that doesn't make me want to smash my TV. If they start going the way of all the other networks, there'll be nothing left to watch. But Matthew Dowd only stated the obvious, and IDK why it's controversial.
This pundit (the chief strategist for the Bush/Cheney '04 campaign) got fired by Comcast for simply stating that hateful rhetoric begets hateful outcomes, which is in no means remotely controversial or incorrect
The now-former political analyst claims MSNBC caved to a “Right Wing media mob” in deciding to fire him.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
