Tech billionaires know that climate change is real, income inequality is horrific, and war is worsening. They want to accelerate it—to bring us to the brink of collapse—in hopes of ruling the ashes. Their ignorance is blinding. They think we’ll turn on each other. The truth: we’ll turn on them.
16 years of admitted heroin addiction AND alcoholism.
Maybe Mike's auditioning for a job.
You forgot he can also diagnose children with "mitochondrial challenges" and "inflammation" just by observing their faces, body movements, and social interactions. I sure wish someone had diagnosed my mitochondrial challenge on time!
For just a second, I read his name as Dacron Blend.
Dean Cain got exactly what he wished for: he collected ICE’s sign-on bonus, was ‘injured,’ and is now out on disability.
We agree, @robhuebel — seems Dems should be talking about this: “State Dept denied Trump intervened on Alexandrovich’s behalf, but that appears implausible. Trump, Israel, pedophilia, corruption… a gift unicorn grazing in Dems’ backyard — And yet?” zeteo.com/p/why-arent-...
I wish the Pope would encourage the American government to engage in concrete gestures of charity with Ukraine. Maybe some free bombs.
Your interview with Ms. Yellen was educational and excellent. Many thanks to both of you.
If Trump isn't at least speaking these into his phone, where did they come from? Gov. Newsom can imitate Trump's writing style perfectly, but even he wouldn't come up with this wacky topic out of nowhere. This demand is totally Trump. The golfing can be faked, but no way is he dead.
Anyone from @governor.pa.gov's office listening? Hey, Josh! Buy PA some Covid vaccines! RFK2 never will! Do this: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
😱
If she flagged down his car, he wouldn't have known what she wanted. Also, the driver might be a saner person than Rudy.
Laugh crying.
👏👏👏
Miller or Noem probably did that. Neither one of them needs Trump to cause major, racist trouble.
Yes. That's an entertaining movie. Not genius, but enjoyable.
My father had several TIAs. He could still speak immediately after and for months until he had the major stroke.
Didn't Ivanka's company make something like that?
I thought the same thing. Maybe they all knew how close to a major stroke he is.
Great job on Weeknight Primetime, or whatever the hell it's called, yesterday.
Yes. I hear it's now against the law to use any condiments other than mayonnaise.
Is the "prime minister" asking to be tariffed?
Mr. Mayonnaise is the champ!
I guess he didn't like it that yesterday the twits on X thought he was dead.
Are you drunk already?
Does everyone's favorite governor, the fabulously handsome and brilliantly intelligent Gavin Newsom, have a reply to this? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
😉
Business man, my arse!
You can't say the same about ICE. They volunteer for those well-paying jobs grabbing people off the streets and hauling them handcuffed and sometimes injured to who-know-where, denying them due process and their right to contact family and lawyers.
😂
Some countries, including Great Britain, give the employees stationed at their DC embassies extra hazard pay because of the dreadful weather they're not used to.
After presidential press secretary James Brady, was severely injured in the 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, Congress passed the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, establishing the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. What we really need is a ban on automatic weapons.
Meanwhile, as red states engage in election chicanery, blue states are propping them up with our tax dollars.
An important read for Arizonans. I've worked at polling places in Pima County and was seriously impressed by all the care that is taken to guarantee safety. Thank you to our Secretary of State Adrian Fontes for doing a great job to endure election integrity. @azsecretary.bsky.social
My money's on Mr. Krasner for US Senate candidacy in Pennsylvania. He would be perfect to replace Fetterman, who is unfit.
They want it done so they can fix the 2026 election.
This is sick. Our whole country should be ashamed of Musk & Co. killing USAID. The richest country in human history should be helping these tragic people. The starving in Gaza, too.
I could provide my experience if you need data for your thesis.
98?!
Now do wind. China's really ahead of us on that. Apparently, they aren't worried about whales.
Not likely.
🙄
This is the shit you say while passing the bong and then giggle at later for how dumb you are when you’re high.
A jacked-up version of the Bush Administration's "Faith-Based Initiatives"?
Sen. Ernst wasn't going to win reelection, so the GOP scratched her from the ballot, of course. Imagine how bad the candidate who replaces her will be. Maybe it will be Hegseth himself, instead of the woman who helped him get his cabinet seat and who laughs at people needing healthcare.
Disgusting and anti-American.
Done! Love her visits with Stephanie MIller.
@rudepundit.bsky.social Part II of your "Scottish play?" www.thedailybeast.com/kash-patels-...
I like your screen name. 😊
Or you could always travel to Canada for free healthcare, as former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin admits her parents did to get their Alaska family medical attention at no cost.
Yes! Let's go with this. "State's rights" as Republicans would say.
They will arrest and imprison Democrats without bail for trumped up bullshit. That’s how dictatorships work.
If you share my outrage at lenient treatment of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, listen to Attorney @katiephang.bsky.social's explication of the original Non-Prosecution Agreement by Alex Acosta that let Epstein & Co. off the hook. This was hidden from victims & the public for nearly 2 decades!
“Republicans want children to die from brain cancer” is the easiest ad in the world and should be running now.
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
When disaster strikes, FEMA stands with you. Now it's time to stand with them ➡️ sign the support letter. Link: www.standupforscience.net/katrina-decl...
This week, FEMA workers released a declaration sounding the alarm. Trump + Noem's response? Putting them on administrative leave. Two of the workers were pulled directly off the Kerrville, TX, flood response.
😱 FFS!
20 years ago I had a tire blow-out in rural New Mexico (yes, on Route 66). The woman who replaced my temp with a new tire told me her teenaged daughter was devastated by all the films because her name was "Katrina." I can't help thinking of that now 30+year-old every time I see the awful pictures.
I did a crossword recently with a clue saying, "Senator from Iowa." I filled in "Ernst" and then I realized the word that crossed the S in Ernst was "ass." An accident, or the subtle opinion of the puzzle-maker?
The GOP must have data saying that or it's unlikely they would have let Joni Ernst quit.
A great point, and I fear we know why: they don't anticipate there will be elections going forward—or if there are, their outcome will be structurally predetermined. This administration doesn't appear to have any expectation that it will ever be hamstrung or out of power. Not in 2026, not in 2028.
SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇
1,000 is how many you know about. I'd bet my right arm there are plenty more hiding in a sea of financial hiding place like overseas banks, secret real estate, fake non-profits, illegal tax returns, etc., etc. Very few Americans get to be known billionaires being honest.
"One of the world's foremost experts"? More like one of the world's foremost whack jobs being praised by one of the other foremost whack jobs.
I was an out-of-my-mind Bruce fan before Born to Run. Altho I like some of it, on the whole I disliked that he bowed to his management's desire that he write some Top 40 singles. Sure, he could do that. But songs like Hungry Heart to this day remain my least-favorite Springsteen works.
Something tells me this will break even and won't cost taxpayers a dime.
And pioneers shouldn't be treated like crap, which is what is happening to Doris Burke. #ESPN has bowed to the noise made by sexists. I hear the same sentence about Doris that I heard about Hillary Clinton, "I just can't stand the sound of her voice."
I don't know if it's illegal or not, but it surely is unethical to keep the thief and fire the person who reveals the theft.
Not to mention, "The culture ain't gonna war itself."
Brilliant. Thank you!
This is an example of when I wish I believed in heaven. I'd love to see what would happen if the Chief Justice had to plead his case to Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
Terry Moran is a hero in every respect. He knows the business, and we should take his opinions to heart.
FFS, that's a CHILD!
The results: Innocent people are not being killed. If we fight force with force, they will have all the excuse they need to turn to lethal methods. If we withdraw from physical fighting, as people in Los Angeles did, Trump's troops will withdraw.
😱
Missouri joins the Trump election robbery effort.
The part that needs to be said repeatedly is “there’s no national emergency.” The president can’t just scream about something and make it true.

🚨 We need to pay attention to what’s happening at the CDC. This isn’t bureaucratic drama — it’s a political takeover of our public health agency. The fallout will hit vaccines, outbreaks, and crisis response. Our health is on the line. We can’t look away.
👏👏👏
I guess The Devil doesn't think he did a good enough job the first time Trump was president.
Ah, reminds me of the happy day when G. Gordon Liddy took the table next to mine at a restaurant in Washington. If Hannity thinks HE'S getting looks ... [Loudly] "Does anyone have a cigarette?"
I can't wait to hear from MY FAVORITE GOVERNOR, the incredibly fit, able and handsome Gavin Newsom, on the topic of George Soros.
"God forbid--GOD FORBID--there should be a tragedy and I should EVER have to take Mr. Trump's job," said JD Vance while signaling to this interior design team to measure the Oval Office drapes.

Does Bondi do anything that's not a personal favor to someone? It's not what you know ...
That they believe painting over a crosswalk will make LGBTQIA+ Americans go away is the true sign of a disordered mind, no matter how much these morons believe the opposite.
It did seem to last longer than normal.
As they say in the working-class neighborhood I was raised in: "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"
If I had said, in 2005, that 20 years later the Republican Party would be even *more* systematically opposed, not only to domestic action on climate change, but to action on climate change anywhere in the world, I would have been dismissed as a hysterical partisan.
Chase, the huge bank? That's a surprise. My acct there has become so annoying I'm thinking of moving. Yesterday I had to wait to speak to not one, but two, separate humans to verify that money I wanted to send via Zelle was for a tree surgeon I needed & not a scammer (after proving twice I am me).

The new CDC director is trying to kill you. Not just “the most vulnerable”; you, me, everyone. This is a comic book-level evil scenario.
@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Let's hear more from @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social. He was a great interview on your show tonight! How about Larry Krasner for US Senate from Pennsylvania 2028? Let's get rid of Trump & Fetterman in one fell swoop.
Cheers for Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. In 2 interviews on #MSNBC shows today, he spoke the way I want to hear Democrats fight for what is right. The perfect primary candidate to run against Pennsylvania Sen. Fetterman whose term is up in 2028. @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social
