The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Every Republican member of the Senate & House caused the stock market crash & predicted recession by refusing to use Congress’s constitutional authority over all tariffs to block the illegal Trump tariffs. Tonight @ Last Word @ msnbc 10pm

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Someone please explain how anyone can be undecided about what is happening to our democracy. I get the 33% are MAGA and the 19% are complicit Republicans but undecided? Coma patients?

House Republicans unveiled their budget plan this week. Here's the summary. Step 1: Take billions from health care and kids' food. Step 2: Give the money in tax cuts to the rich. Step 3: Profit.

The irony if we survive this coup by DOGE and the complicit Republican Party is that it will cost billions to repair the damage. So much for efficiency in government spending.

Musk $277M to elect Trump. $20B from gov’t contracts. 611 million users on X w/control over its algorithms and propaganda. Unelected “official” w/an office in the Whitehouse and security clearance. Control over a government efficiency program and where money goes. What could possibly go wrong?

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.
