Congrats to Venezuela on a memorable #WBC victory! One thing that stood out to me was the passion, fire, and joy they played with. This contrasted heavily with the all business “travel ball” arrogance of the US. I hope future teams will embrace the pure love of the game mentality. More thoughts soon

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Gave a masterclass monologue tonight, defenestrating Trump on everything from tariffs to deportations to medicare. The media needs to match this level of righteous rage on a daily basis if we ever want to compete with the thermonuclear level of lying from the other side.

Wow. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com tonight is EVERYTHING if you want to understand what's going to happen to Medicaid and Social Security.

Remember when people were pissed because “we didn’t choose Kamala to run for president”? Elon Musk is laughing at you.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

Thrilled to see the legend @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com has joined bluesky! He is truly one of the most articulate, passionate, and righteous voices in journalism. I look forward to his wisdom as a guiding light to shine during these tumultuous times. Maybe he will share some West Wing stories 🤞

Not even 10 minutes in and the Chiefs are already getting phantom roughing the passer. What else can Will Anderson even do there?

I watched the whole thing last night… it was a stunning display of #Biden domestic and foreign policy mastery. I used to call him the Galaxy Brain during the 2020 campaign. How anyone can think he has dementia is beyond me. We will miss you #Joe! More than you can ever know 😭

Here’s my hot take on the #TikTokBan that no one asked for: Trump is going to swoop in and save it. He wants to be everyone’s hero now that he knows it helped him win the election. The CEO is attending Trump’s inauguration. You may hate the ban. But it’s time to ditch the app.

#Biden gave a farewell speech that will go down in history. While most pundits are correctly comparing it with IKE’s last speech, I also see some strong comparisons with Washington’s final address. He saw the direction that political polarization was taking us and wanted to take a stand against it.

Biden was right last night to warn about America becoming an oligarchy. Trump is appointing an unprecedented number of billionaires to his cabinet and giving Elon Musk a White House office. They won't lower grocery prices or make housing more affordable—they're stealing from the American people.

Hillarious that Tom turned out to be the most benevolent social media overlord. It was all downhill from the Top 8.

As a born and raised Californian living out of state, I've never missed my home state more than I have these last few days.

So happy to be on #Bluesky and to forever leave behind the societal scourge that is #X. It is sad a once great app has descended into a hive of conspiracy and brain rot. Even as someone who studies conspiracies, I never fathomed the hell that #oligarch controlled social media would drag us into.

#LAFires are a stark reminder that #ClimateChange is coming for everyone. It does not care about your social or economic status. Today, it was their turn and tomorrow it can be yours or mine. Positive thoughts to all impacted.
