Today in St. Peters, Missouri, hundreds stood out in the chilly rain with our signs and our resolve. Lots of honking horns, thumbs up and applause. People seemed impressed that we stood for hours in that weather. I hope that, alone, conveyed the message of urgency.

Trump won St. Peter’s MO by 18% in 2024. Today, a lot of those voters braved steady rain to join the resistance at the International Worker’s Day. The #resistance continues to grow. #MayDay #Protest #HandsOff #WeAreStrongerTogether💙🫂💙 @50501movement.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @msnbc.com

It’s true. DOGE is needed. They’ll need to add hundreds more to the staff just to monitor all the waste and abuse perpetrated by the administration and cabinet. And they were the ones saying they would “drain the swamp?”

Saturday we marched for democracy. Sunday we celebrated Easter. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. As an aside, these are the only hats we own that match. I swear.

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us. Doug and I join the world in mourning his loss.

“The best part of this was realizing how much support there actually is in my town. I had no idea.” That’s the magic of showing up. You helped people feel less alone in places where they’ve felt isolated for far too long.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump White House to let Associated Press journalists return to the Oval Office and other spaces to cover news events, ruling it was unlawful to block the news service in a dispute over its choice of words.

Judge orders White House to allow AP access to news events
U.S. Judge Trevor N. McFadden rules the White House cannot deny the Associated Press access to news events because the wire service continues to use "Gulf of Mexico" rather than "Gulf of America".

The decision from Homeland Security and Secretary of Defense on whether to allow Heir Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act comes down 4/20. It is all of the protests that are fueling his desire to use this (and the reason the next big protest is scheduled for 4/19). Protest is in our national DNA.

It’s important to remember that the children of our servicemen and women also serve: With every deployment that takes mom or dad away from them and missed landmarks in their lives that can’t be helped. Happy Month of the Military Child to Charlie and Daisy. ❤️ Honoring you both! @maddow.msnbc.com

April is the Month of the Military Child and we have two amazing military kids in our family. They’re called Dandelion Kids because, like dandelions, they are adaptable and resilient and take root wherever their family lands. These two have lived all over and we love them (and their mom and dad). ❤️

Small but mighty protest for democracy yesterday. Mostly positive reactions in a very conservative area. One exception was a parody of Bone Spur’s base in a big truck yelling ‘Eff you all, eff every one of you!’ Classy.

Yesterday in St. Louis City. Hundreds showed up to support veterans and protest VA cuts and the firing of federal employees. We must continue to be loud and make lots of noise. Our democracy depends on it.
