This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their service and sacrifice to this country will never be forgotten. Today, let us reflect on their courage and commit to supporting those who serve, their families, and our communities. ❤️🇺🇸
How a real President honors fallen heroes.
Help when you can.
I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.
May the fourth be with you, Illinois.
I joined Ali Velshi of MSNBC this morning and Ali’s first question was about the President’s jarring answer “I don’t know” to the question “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?”
Sussan Ley's first reform as Opposition Leader #auspol
Thank you to my Australian relatives. 🗳️🇦🇺
The Truth Of The Matter And They Are Not Bringing Jobs Back….
Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

If there's any good things about a second Trump administration, it's that Canada will be spared Pierre Poilievre
Met many Canadians while on a cruise the last two weeks. Things I heard: -elbows up -we're nice until we aren't -he made a joke about 51st state, so I stopped talking to him -we chose this cruise line because it isn't owned by Americans -we're from Montreal, and Canada is united right now
You have to wonder what Mark Carney's other two wishes were after rubbing that bottle
Scott Bessent is begging China to call him on Fox News? Peak desperation.
It’s Election Day, Canada. Go vote Canada Strong.
Good luck today, Canada 🇨🇦 elbows up!
Good luck to our friends.
Yes show us how its ✅ done . 🇨🇦
In case you are wondering why you should vote and how... America just elected it's own personal Hitler. Don't be like America
US Americans are currently paying the price for the people who didn't vote. Don't repeat our mistake Canada! VOTE!
Just an FYI a third of Americans did not vote in our last election. In order for democracy to work people have to participate. All we got to show for it is a Felonious Windbag
Don’t vote for the Canadian equivalent of Trump!
Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.
worth every second
BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.
Everybody needs to know that the Republican budget that just passed the house includes $45 billion for expanding the kidnapping, torture, and concentration camps. They call it deportation and detention centers.
Say his name. Kilmar Abrego Garcia Bring him back !!!
Mark Carney For Prime Minister. Like if you agree!!!!
It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
Markets woke up and realized that a 10% global tariff and 125% tariff on China is still going to devastate America’s economy.
NO you are watching the most blatant and massive con in history and all the stupid republicans are cheering him on - they are fucking PATHETIC
No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.
No fucking way they get what they get for voting against their interests - ironic they would be the welfare people they wanted to hurt - SOOOO NO FUCKING WAY
👀

we are maybe two weeks from jesse watters declaring that it’s gay for men to have sex with women
We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.
You're stock market wealth is not being destroyed. It's being transferred. Prices fall as people sell. Where is it going? To the people who are causing the chaos. Who sold first, then made bets it would go lower.

The resilience of everyday Ukrainians against Putin's bloodthirsty, unprovoked invasion has been incredible. I'll continue to stand with our local Ukrainian community and their families, to reach lasting peace and build a future worth having.
So many folks protesting for the first time, realizing its in our hands to speak up. #handsoff #sandiego
Happy April 5th I am going to Trenton state house today - New Jersey’s state capitol I hope to see everyone there - A peaceful protest against the administration
The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.
BREAKING: SENATOR CORY BOOKER BREAKS RECORD FOR LONGEST SPEECH ON FLOOR OF U.S. SENATE
Judge Crawford and our good friends at the @wisdems.bsky.social took on Elon Musk's money and won. They may have far fewer lakes and an enraging sports fan base, but today, we couldn't be more proud of our neighbors 🥲
Real Genius was so great. RIP
Remember that clip of Musk bounding onto the stage with Dave Chapelle and freaking out when he was roundly booed? There were reports later that he was in a tailspin for quite a while afterwards. I'm hoping it's like that for him right now. He never expects to lose and doesn't do it well.
April Fools’ Day is canceled until every other day stops being fools’ day.
One person stepping up and and meeting the moment is the kind of courage we need in this moment. If we do only what we’ve been doing, nothing is going to change. @booker.senate.gov is showing us a different path 👊🏻🇺🇸🔥
Really good night for Dems. Rs passed the WI voter ID amendment, but it didn't - as they hoped - transform turnout for Schimel. Ds hold WI court, hold WI superintendent of public instruction, flip a number of mayoral offices in IL. Rs hold FL House seats but margin down by half since 2024.
We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.
Senator Corey Booker is still on *FIRE* after 15 hours!! Its on CSPAN and really worth your time to tune in.
Of course, there’s more: Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and his team used personal Gmail for government business. One of Waltz’s top aides even sent highly sensitive military data—positions, weapons systems, and war intel—over Gmail. But Hillary’s emails are the real scandal.
Astonishing display of patriotism from the good senator from the great state of New Jersey
BREAKING: A federal court ordered Mahmoud Khalil's lawsuit should proceed in New Jersey instead of Louisiana, 1,500 miles from his family. This is an important step towards justice.
I’m suing DOGE! www.muellershewrote.com/p/im-suing-d...
Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale
They bought votes and still lost.
My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."
we all understand that this just means we have to yell at our reps more, right
Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.
MSNBC is projecting Susan Crawford as the winner in Wisconsin!
Hillary Clinton is in the building and has joined BlueSky! 💙 Let’s make her feel welcome! @hillaryclinton.bsky.social
He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
Those are people that we cannot satisfy, and we need to stop trying. We need to focus on rational people because nothing that they do is going to appease certain people. They just want to yell at somebody and be miserable.
We deserved some good news!
Has he started whining yet? And is anyone selling an "Elon's Tears" mug?
Elon Musk Spent $20 Million On This Election… and Lost! Francesca and I react to JD Vance’s lies and Elon Musk’s bad bet in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Plus, NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani joins the show. zeteo.com/p/elon-musk-...
This will be an especially difficult year to tell the difference between fake bullshit and actual bullshit this April Fool's Day
Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."
You did it!!!
Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
This is evidence that they can be defeated. That they are not inevitable. That we can still win. Lib out. Recharge. And get ready to fight, because we’re gonna beat then over and over again till we win.
For 108 years, the Kremlin convinced generations of Russians that all the misery in their own country is secretly caused by the US. Now that Russia’s arch-enemy is fading, Europe will take over that position, whether we like it or not. So we better prepare ourselves
ELIE MYSTAL: “This is what fascism looks like. I don’t know what y’all expected it to look like… People are being abducted and disappeared from our streets. These people haven’t even been charged in court.” 🇺🇸
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: We have shared all information regarding Russia’s violations in the energy sector — there were strikes, and today again in Kherson, a Russian drone targeted an energy facility and equipment — deliberately and purposefully. Part of the city was left without electricity.
Scenes from the HHS bloodbath 🧵 Some layoff notices went out by email last night or early this a.m. But some people showed up today at FDA and only found out they were fired when their badges didn't work -- or when they were pulled out of line to enter by security, Gestapo-style.
Trump, Vance, and other GOP leaders speak of "cards": Ukraine doesn't have the "cards," Canada doesn't have the "cards." To me, this sounds very close to "Might makes right" -- which, in kindergarten, we were all taught to shun, I believe.
Tesla: trash can vehicle
Thank you, Senator Cory Booker, for standing up for America's promise.
We support Senator Cory Booker in his effort to stop “business as usual” in the Senate during this time of crisis. Thank you, Senator 🙌. #CoryBooker #RESIST #SenatorBooket #StandUp #SpeakOut #RESIST #DoSomething #Obstruct #Disrupt #IDA-CO #Indivisible #Resistor
Chucking in on Senator Cory Booker on the Senate floor 5 hours+ into his filibuster. “America, we are not doing a good job right now.” Nailing it! 🔥
I keep looking for some sign of life from Fetterman. Once again great dissappointment. Supporting my contention that he is a hologram.
💪🏻💙
Crawford wins in Wisconsin!!!!!!!! Very very big and important victory. And a loss could have been calamitous in coming years for gerrymandering, voting rights, abortion and a lot more. Most expensive judicial election by far in US history. Her opponent campaigned in a MAGA hat. A good day.
Methinks Elon Musk is calling his attorneys prepping for those subpoenas to drop after midterms. 🍿
A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act. As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.
"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality: At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...
At this moment of autocrats vilifying judges and the rule of law, lawyers can prove why they're lawyers. This is the time to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and for people under attack.
