I’m in the anchor chair tonight on @thebeat.msnbc.com at 6 pm ET on MSNBC. After the utter chaos today in the Oval Office, we’ve got a lot to talk about. Hope to see you.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

) with the text: 'If you include aid that’s been promised but not yet allocated, Europe is putting twice as much money towards supporting Ukraine.' The post includes a bar chart titled 'Aid Promised to Ukraine: US vs Europe,' showing the US has promised $125 billion ($120 spent in the US, $5 spent outside) and Europe has promised $259 billion ($138 allocated, $121 promised). The chart, labeled 'My @Morning_Joe
 chart,' cites sources from the Kiel Institute and CSIS, with red and blue bars representing the US and Europe, respectively.

Velshi Banned Book Club: Ukrainian literature and the ‘weight of history’
Despite losing Ukrainian authors, journalists, artists, and more than a third of the nation’s book printing capacity, demand for Ukrainian literature is on the rise as Ukrainians strive to secure their future and preserve their history. “The weight of history is really the motivating force for Ukrainians resisting today,” says Ukrainian author and Journalist Yaroslav Trofimov. “They know that the alternative of surrender is actually worse than the tremendous casualties and destruction that occur today.”

So who would benefit from having all the anger and outrage aimed at the DoJ instead of the Supreme Court? Who would benefit from Americans attacking our own institutions - the same institutions the Trump regime is trying to dismantle? Something to think about. END/

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.
