@maddow.bsky.social I watched your doc last night. It brought me closer to losing my dinner than any other show I can recall. It reminded me of “Killing of the Flower Moon” (book) in its simple recounting of facts. Well done!

@maddow.bsky.social Why am I sending a note here instead of the MSNOW app? The promise of communication with paid membership is empty. I wanted to share an idea: When Trump fails, ka-tang! hammer a seal of approval: cover image of “Everything Trump Touches, Dies.” Rick should be ok…

Dear #GOP: Vote to reveal Epstein. - It may take down Trump. - Otherwise, Trump will take you down in the eyes of the public. Does anyone Seriously Believe Trump is benefiting the U.S.?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You know this, but please have Dems explicitly say, On The Floor, “who wants to lose their jobs over health care?” - Hammer it. - Dems hold town halls in neighbors’ districts. - Dems will slay in 26 if vote isn’t passed or vetoed.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The
"suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest." By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

My comments on Jimmy Kimmel’s “suspension”: 1. I rarely watched Kimmel (can’t watch Everything) 2. I just took inventory; #ABC now has absolutely nothing I want to watch

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
