@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social All of us are concerned about the upcoming elections, but Symone and Eugene need to be a little bit more optimistic. The constant doom & gloom scares some voters and may cause low turnout.

Thanks, I came here to say the same thing. She has always been a treasure. She was a wonderful First Lady of my home state of Arkansas as well. She’s still smart, intelligent and wise as ever. We really missed a great opportunity.

Your outrage is useless to me. You can keep arguing with yourself. We know who the speaker will be. Start learning to COPE!

There’s no proof of that and I don’t hear any progressive members in Congress saying it. You can have your own stress party by yourself.

News flash, he will be the next Democratic Speaker like it or not. You guys can keep this up until the midterms and the results will still be the same.

What has he been doing so far that makes you think he’s working against his party? You don’t have a clue. Maybe do some research on how he has worked hard to keep the caucus together while being attacked by the President & Libs who don’t want him to become Speaker.

I’m not a billionaire, but I’m very informed about politics. I’ve followed Jeffries before he became minority leader & I trust his decisions. Many don’t trust him because they don’t like him & want him out. That’s not the case for me. I hope you find peace.

Only because you want it to be a crisis. Leaders have to talk with allies and enemies all the time. That’s not capitulation, but a part of being a leader. You don’t get to dictate who he meets with PERIOD.

I think a lot of the comments are from MAGA pretending to be Dems in order to sow division.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
He does not have to reveal everything going on behind closed doors. No leader does that. Saying he’s selling us out without proof says more about you. He knows what he’s doing. He’s not going to let everyone dictate every step he makes. Btw, he will be the Speaker of the House if Dems win. PERIOD

You don’t know that he was collaborating. Stop with the unnecessary drama.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
No, and neither were you. I’m taking his word. Freaking out about everything doesn’t help anybody but MAGA. Jeffries knows what he’s doing whether you admit it or not. He’s not new to this. Some of you don’t like him & that’s fine, but it is not going to change anything for him.

He didn’t cozy up. Jared ask to meet with him to establish a follow up meeting with S.Wiles. He refused that meeting. They discussed housing affordability (likely in NY)which makes sense because Trump refused to sign the housing bill. Jared probably was trying to get a pass but Jeffries said no.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Well, it doesn’t. He’s already revealed what it was about. Try to keep up in between your outrage!

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Because he knows the national electorate won’t support it & they won’t. Also, it would take years to establish. M4A would also require a trifecta & a super majority. So, rather than lie and give voters false hope, he wants to overhaul the ACA which was the goal in the beginning and already in place

Republicans vote for Republicans and Democrats vote for Democrats. Independents usually vote for Democrats.

They know he doesn’t have any control over that and you should know too.

No, Trump has made Jared his mouthpiece all over the world and you know that. You may not want Jeffries, but you don’t get to decide whether he becomes Speaker. His caucus does.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
All these crazy comments when you don’t even know what the meeting was about. Jeffries’ caucus will elect him not voters and you don’t see any of them throwing a tantrum or saying anything against him publicly. Maybe try taking some notes.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Again, you have limited knowledge of politics & governing. Trump sent Kushner & I’m confident Jeffries handled it. Did you ever notice that you don’t see or hear people in Jeffries’ caucus speaking against him publicly? It’s only those outside like you. They know something you & many others don’t.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
If you think the two parties never talk or shouldn’t talk, that says you don’t know enough about politics.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
We don’t even know what they met about. You’re going off what the Trump Admin leaked to the NYT to get Dems in an uproar & it worked. Do you not realize what they are doing? Jeffries is a lot smarter than you think. He has held the caucus together & he was mentored by the best, Pelosi. CHILL OUT!

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Chill out, people! Kushner was sent to Jeffries. Leaders have to talk to each other whether we like it or not. Trump knows he’s going to lose the House. He knows all the racists videos he put out about Jeffries & Schumer. We need to get facts before jumping off the cliff like The NYT wants us to do.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
pretending to care about black voters & bashing Jeffries. You also didn’t immediately support VP Harris. I think you have done enough damage to black voters by using your large platforms (NYT & MJ) to voice your opinions. Please just STOP trying to enforce your personal agenda. You’ve done enough!

Mara Gay, opinion writer & member of the NYT editorial board, worked fiercely in forcing Biden to step down. She even stated on Morning Joe that her family told her to let it go, but she felt confident that she was doing the right thing. This helped to get us Trump. Now, she’s on Morning Joe again

Peter should have been ready for his over talking. I’ve seen him push back on Dems much harder. He has to do better.

It was Ken Martin’s leadership that has helped Dems win elections at the state & local level. But now you think he should resign. DNC money problems didn’t start with him. GOP have billionaires funding them. People will complain about those receiving AIPAC while still never donating a dime to Dems.

They need to stop being so messy. Trying to put Lt. Gov. Gilchrist on the spot about who he would be voting for was messy. Voting has always been private unless you want to share that information. Jackie and Eugene are notorious for still trying to have a gotcha moment while democracy is at stake.

You guys need to stop being so messy. Who someone votes for has always been private unless a person shares that information. Jackie made the ridiculous comment that the people deserved to know who the Lt. Gov. supported. This is not the time for little “gotcha” moments. Do better.

They also own almost all forms of media and that’s the main reason they are good at it. In addition, they are also a monolith. You don’t see them bashing and criticizing each other in public. They stand together. This is another reason why their message is louder. It’s about sticking together.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
Look Dems can only do so much. You can do talking points all day every day, but if Republicans (who have power over all branches)ignores it and never allows hearings, then what? You can’t blame Dems when the only they can do is talking points. Republicans could care less.about talking points.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
They have. Why do you think his staff keeps putting out AI pictures. The real question is why aren’t Republicans calling for proof? It’s their responsibility. If we’re serious about winning the midterms, stop bashing Dems for everything. You see all the “hourly” chaos they are dealing with.

Wow Eugene, why can’t you be happy for Taylor & Travis without the petty comments? Their decision to tie the knot @ MSG is not taking anything away from the nation’s 250th. Love is love, right? That was not a good look for you.

So, y’all whined about getting the “autopsy” report and then when Martin released it, you don’t like it. Can we for once STOP GETTING IN OUR OWN WAY! Most of us care more about winning the election and stopping Trump. MSNOW The Weekend Primetime please stop with the biased reporting.

You told him right. I hear people saying the same thing. Our young people have to learn that you don’t get everything you want in an election cycle. But you stay the course. People fought long & hard for our freedom. Now it’s our time and this is our fight!

But when something happens, your first question to Dems is what are you going to do? If you want to see change & save democracy, you have to focus on bringing people together & not focusing on each other’s weakness. The Dem’s tent is diverse just like America. Stop the drama & help save America.

@eugenedaniels2.bsky.social I don’t know what you expect Democrats to do when they are never given a significant majority to do so. If people don’t get out and vote to give Democrats a super majority, they can’t make significant change. You make little condescending comments every week about Dems.

retldy61.bsky.social @retldy61.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
I think @kenmartin.bsky.social is just trying to keep the party together to defeat the current admin. Rehashing & pointing fingers will be self-destruction. Every time Dems build momentum to win the media does this. This is what caused people to stop watching MSNBC. BE CAREFUL MSNOW!

@eugenedaniels2.bsky.social Ken Martin is right. This is not the time for your messiness. Most of us are trying to save the democracy of our country, but you’re more interested in spilling the old tea. Don’t forget how your ratings dropped after the election.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Tara Palmeri made a statement about Hillary & Maxwell being very close. Why didn’t you pushback on that? Tara seemed very opinionated and hateful. She didn’t provide any proof of how she knew that and you didn’t ask. Don’t let people do that and ruin your show.
