I didn’t always watch @joyannreid.bsky.social on MSNBC, and when I did, sometimes I didn’t agree with her. But now, I’m surprised by how profoundly sad I am, unable to tune in. Sad that her voice no longer carries those airwaves at 7:00 ET. Thank you for sharing your point of view with us, Joy.

Count me in for efficiency. Count me in for slashing government waste. But blanket layoffs at the FAA, or the folks that safeguard our nuclear arsenal, or the IRS employees making sure YOU get your tax refund… there’s nothing efficient about it.

Anecdote: equal opportunity initiatives made them feel like they were forced to hire a person of color & that person didn’t work out - instead of seeming to indicate that only a white person could do the job to ur satisfaction, why not consider hiring process didn’t provide broadest candidate pool?

Incredibly illuminating post. One of the points that stood out the most to me? “Between 1981 & 2021, deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations, offshoring of manufacturing, and weakening of unions moved $50 TRILLION from bottom 90% of Americans to top 1%.”

Like Conan has a SiriusXM channel that shares podcasts or Howard with his radio show, is there an engaging panel type news discussion channel on Sirius? Like create Air America redux or Morning Joe’ish content as a #SiriusXM channel. With multiple hosts and guests. We need more outlets.
