@maddow.msnbc.com Love your shows. In addition to reporting on protests & town halls, can you report on what people who can’t attend these are doing? What are the elderly doing, what are moms with kids at home doing, to protest Trump administration? The rest of us want to know what we can do.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Very meek and accommodating of you. Instead of whining about the optics of a shutdown, frame the fucking optics. Clearly place the blame on Republicans who are doing nothing to stop unconstitutional executive overreach. Your failure here is ruinous.

@maddow.msnbc.com Please point out that Donald Trump thrives in chaos. What he is doing to our country & world replicates what he has done throughout his business & personal life. Nothing is new. His past behaviors led to bankruptcies & indictments. He only cares about himself. Nothing has changed.

In my opinion, Hakeem Jefferies and the other Democratic leaders who wanted the Democrats to listen respectfully were horribly misguided. Democrats should’ve created a spectacle that would have been on the front page of every paper today.

Congressman Al Green’s method of protest is compelling without a doubt…but these signs I don’t think are effective. They look polite and soft. If you’re going to hold up a sign, make it big and bold — or do what Al Green did. People have been saying it looks like they’re at an auction.

A group of Democratic members of Congress are seated in the chamber, holding up protest signs during Donald Trump’s 2024 State of the Union address. The signs, shaped like handheld paddles, display various messages in bold capital letters. Some signs read “SAVE MEDICAID”, others say “FALSE”, and one sign states “MUSK STEALS”. A representative in the front holds a handwritten sign that reads “That’s a LIE!”. The expressions among the lawmakers vary, with some looking serious and others appearing to engage with colleagues. The setting is a formal congressional gathering, with members dressed in professional attire.
