In these times and to keep our beloved Ozzy Osbourne appearing in feeds every day I respectfully request a brilliant Ozzy saying Fuck Off gif (what’s out there now doesn’t do Oz or the moment justice) to reply to all 🐂shit spewing from the Trump regime. Thank you for your attention to this matter.🖤🦇
Why not clap back and walk out?! For continued access to a lying MAGA minion? Has anything been briefed in that room since Jan 21 that merits reporting? It’s nothing but a clown show elevating other clowns posing as journos craving attention and clickbait. Serious journos never get straight answers.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
@citizencohn.bsky.social shares some of my story and the work that I have done on public health with thousands of scientists and implementers. We ended outbreak after outbreak TOGETHER. Many of those outbreaks occurred because of RFK Jr’s rhetoric. www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
The f🤬kwit and his comms cretins are out in full force. More distraction or foreshadowing the next shitstorm about to drop?! Trying not to succumb to anxiety over what’s next. I keep replaying @mollyjongfast.bsky.social referring to his goldfish brain to keep chuckling instead of screaming!

… we ask, every hour of every f’ing day.
Unless or until these f🤬kwits can be ousted (which, God forbid, may be too late), I 🙏🏼 every billionaire with the means and the know how (Melinda Gates and Mackenzie Scott initially come to mind, plus Bill Gates, Buffett, Bloomberg, Soros, Cuban, Hoffman, Steyer …) will band together to fill the gap.
Dem Govs and Health Secretaries need to organize a ferocious campaign of resistance to what Kennedy is doing to their constituents.
Can the health secretaries in the blue states organize themselves as the 23 Dem AGs do and start more aggressively pushing back on what Kennedy is doing? Their citizens are at risk.
It came up on my IG feed. You know the rule. youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...
I am closing in on age 65 and I ALWAYS stop the scroll to watch every second of Tom’s killer performance! Thx for the re-up, Ana Marie! 🙏🏼 ❤️☔️
Us:
Appreciate you telling MAGA like it actually is! 🙏🏼
He is French and a popular pronunciation poster on YouTube. Rachel pronounces her last name exactly as he pronounces it.
Fantastic! My only kvetch is when peeps who should be in the know pronounce your last name incorrectly. I especially go grrrrr at your @msnbc.com colleagues who flub it! For all Rachel fans and her fellow journos … Pronouncing Rachel Maddow 101: share.google/E7HRpQjJnINa...
Who on Earth 1 can stand this POS? Not even his own kids. What in the ever loving F🤬k was Usha thinking?
Authoritarian Takeover 101 (bonus, Epstein/Maxwell distraction) But what can be done to stop this fucker? I’m all in with my local Indivisible and Move on groups; we can petition, protest, organize 24/7, but it won’t stop the lawlessness. I don’t want to give in to hopelessness, but I’m feeling it …
The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
How do you have the authority to deploy the national guard today, but you blamed Nancy Pelosi for them not being there on January 6th.
🎯
Attributing this to a particular Dem or Dems saying something pathetic or is this a generalization based on cumulative spin? I’m still rooting for the team, but hoo boy, it’s rough! They need a new coach, a new playbook and a better starting lineup!
This bullshit from the idiot who can’t talk his way out of a paper bag (the one he hides his flask in), the one who needs his wifey to accompany him in congressional meetings, monitor his Signal group chats, supervise his meetings with NATO groups, foreign military officials, and, and, and … 🙄
They’re fucking mad and fucking evil. I still can’t believe we’re doing this shit again. No guardrails now. Not one person in that cultist regime with any sense of constitutional duty or moral decency. We’re dangerously close to losing the republic and those fuckers are all for it! Sorry for the 🚽🫢
Brilliant and righteous!
The fact that the immigrants we've grievously mistreated are still gracious and hopeful should make us even more ashamed.
No one loves cheating more than Republicans but the questions is will SCOTUS stop them like in 2019 or let them get away with it this time. youtube.com/shorts/zsjeW...
🎯 I have no faith in SCOTUS. I think Roberts and ACB got the you’d better fall in line or else memo and they’ve been doing Trump’s bidding since, along w/ right wing activist Justices Thomas, Alito and Yes Sir, we got you Sir, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. Autocracy is here until we can break free of it.
🎯
Don’t you think James David leaked the meeting himself, @gtconway.bsky.social? I suspect he is all in on amplifying the Epstein/Ghislaine scandal.Trump just can’t shake it. DH JD (and I don’t mean Designated Hitter, although I suppose that works too … ) and Peter Thiel can’t wait to take Trump down!
Hey @msnbc.com #AlexWagner is too brilliant, thoughtful and articulate to be relegated to guest spots here and there. I’m still furious that Kutler cut Alex’s cord! Same re: @joyannreid.bsky.social and @katiephang.bsky.social! Thankfully, Joy and Katie are knocking it out of the park independently!
Hey, @nicollewallace.bsky.social I hope #DeadlineWhitehouse sets up a Bluesky account soon! 🙏🏼🤞🏼 cc: @msnbc.com
@nicollewallace.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social @glennthrush.bsky.social #alexwagner @msnbc.com IMO Trump et al have a calculated strategy on the #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell BS. I suspect Trump fears the file contents and Ghislaine spilling the tea on him more than he fears MAGA fallout.
Looking mighty sharp this evening, @velshi.com! ❤️ to see you in Prime Time! You always cover subject matter brilliantly; your rapport with guests and colleagues is warmly engaging. You are one of the best, Sir! 🙏🏼 Ali tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social @msnbc.com
Rabid ferrets racing around in his brain … 😏🎯 @sykescharlie.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social @samsteindc.bsky.social This guy immediately comes to mind (I know he’s a weasel but, ya know, also apropos …)
🖕🏼
Republicans are saying that our opposition to Trump nominees is “unprecedented.” Seriously? Let’s take a look at some of the stuff that is really “unprecedented”: A partisan rescissions bill pulling back funding that was agreed to by both sides in bipartisan appropriations agreements.
NEWS --> An internal Homeland Security memo suggests Trump's use of military for domestic enforcement is about to get worse. It details top-level talks between Defense Department and DHS on what this should look like. Experts say it's alarming. We obtained the memo: newrepublic.com/article/1987...
🎯
Fuck John Roberts and his band of BS activist justices! Every lawless or egregious move by Trump and his equally vile regime falls back to SCOTUS conservative majority’s immunity ruling! They’re complicit in the regime’s systematic dismantling of laws and norms as we’re witnessing every f’ing hour!
Marco Dead Eyes strikes again.
The Republican motto when it comes to Emil Bove: see no evil, hear no evil.
This, among the infinite number of egregious acts perpetrated by Trump and his sycophantic minions (that’s YOU Senate and House GOP), is nauseating! An impartial judiciary, or what’s left of it, seems to be our only defense against Trump’s regime. He and his enablers are systemically dismantling it!
He can be so frustrating at times, but when he’s on, he’s 🎯 on!
Markwayne. Say no more … 😐
Thx! Your pups are adorable and full of whimsy too! 🐾🥰🐾
I am truly baffled by Hakeem Jeffries’ unwavering reservedness and unwillingness to fight back while our institutions are burning to the ground and people are literally dying because of the egregious acts of a rogue President, his sinister administration and an incompetent Republican led Congress!
Fuck that dead eyed traitor and the rest of the abominable regime!
Masterclass Mehdi … 🔥
Fuck right off, Bret Stephens! Such an arrogant ass …
Our hearts are so sad but thank goodness he had the best of the best send off … 🖤🦇 #BackToTheBeginning #Ozzy4Ever #FlyPrince
🎯 I also think she’ll be pressed to implicate Trump enemies if/when she testifies to Congress or elsewhere, whether true or not.
So heartbreaking, 💔😔 but I’m sooooo glad Ozzy, his fam and his fans had one big blast of a party at his Back to the Beginning Concert … 🖤🦇
Thank goodness! What a nitwit …
💔😔 Fly Prince … 🦇
See how it’s done, @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com? We know you used to know … 🫤 Readers appreciate blunt truths headlined and written by @rollingstone.com journalists. Thank you Rolling Stone! 🙏🏼
Fi & Fin said it’s too hot to play outside, Katie, so we’re just chillin’ indoors … 🐾💞🐾
If these fucks weren’t hurting and killing people while wreaking intense havoc on the country and the world, I’d swear we were living a “situation” comedy in real time.
Ita est!
You’ve 🎯 it, Charlotte! I despise Trump as much as anyone (and I worked for the jerk in the 80s in AC - he fired my boss (w/a smile) in front of me - not for cause, but to bring in a “big name” in the biz). That said, I fear the further deterioration of democracy under a [choke 🤢] Vance presidency.
She’s a fellow con, like Don, and doesn’t she appear to be mentally “off” at times? She clearly doesn’t care about the vulnerable or victims who suffer unspeakable acts perpetrated by powerful jerks. It’s all about elevating herself and thriving on performative mania.
As much as we know the fool can’t handle the truth and will spew his predictable narcissistic projection with as much venom as he can muster, the level of insanity he puts out there is still stunning, especially knowing that some equally foolish people will continue to feed right into his madness!
Durbin should immediately call for a shadow hearing for Erez Reuveni to testify and make sure it’s covered by all forms of media!
WTF, @booker.senate.gov???? You do good work, strive for what’s right, but then give this murderer of thousands of innocent Palestinians a gracious moment for a photo op?! This truly makes me ill. My 82yo Jewish husband whose brother went to HS w/Bibi would never give Netanyahu the time of day now!
Goddammit! How ANYONE of decency can stand and smile next to that f’ing genocidal opportunist is so f’ing infuriating! Are they really thinking it’s a politically savvy moment for themselves?! Not exactly a moral moment … I don’t expect better from Rs, but come on, Ds! BE BETTER THAN THIS!
🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼
How do Texans stand him or Paxton or Cruz?! Too mired in MAGA?! I suppose I’m posing a rhetorical question. So sad that people have to suffer such devastation and loss because of these self-serving idiots!
He’s a f’ing barbarian
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com I don’t recall ever seeing you in a light[er] colored jacket before! Looking dapper, as always … #LetsGetTo4 #DemocratsPersist #VoteNo #BigUglyBetrayal

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details
It should, but probably won’t. How these useless minions to Trump and self-serving mega-rich donors continue to be supported by working and middle class voters is mind boggling. Tribalism above all else, even if your rep or senator stabs you in the back and takes off with your wallet!
My first try at Julia Child’s berry clafoutis during COVID times. I went with blues. Not the most gorgeous presentation, but so delish …
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ
My God, he’s such a lowlife F’kwit!
EFFEFCTIVELY COVFEFE!
Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?
Same in South Jersey at 2pm today! I’m back in the upper shore area of Mrrrlnd now and it’s a chilly 92 (feels like 105)! Perfectly normal … 🥵
Hey everyone, just a reminder: A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature
Ohhhhh, the posters …. 😍 Getting to see him in concert was a dream! HE was a dream … 🥰 It is a sad day. But following him over the years, he seemed to enjoy a full happy life. RIP, Bobby …
My very first teeny bopper concert was my heartthrob, Bobby Sherman at the Cherry Hill Ice House (South Jersey). My Mom took me when I was 9 or 10, around 55 years ago. 😔💔🙏🏼🕊️
the news cycle moves at tornadic 🌪️speed with captain unstable in “charge,” but as war brews let’s NOT forget that a brutal political assassination took place not even two weeks ago… and the threats aren’t stopping. my latest @meidastouch.com youtu.be/GmO4PmXCgBk?...
Masked men in Border Patrol vests violently detained a father of three US Marines. If the Department of Homeland Security wants their agents to be respected, they cannot act like masked vigilantes who violate the law.
Big business as usual …
Oy … 🙈
It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.
Hey @mollyjongfast.bsky.social @hirschorn.bsky.social convo with @arimelber.bsky.social on @thebeat.msnbc.com raised the point you make all the time about the way Dem politicians engage w/the press, on pods and w/constituents. 🎯 Dems please use #NormalSpeak to gain and hold peoples’ attention! 🙏🏼🗣️
There is nothing too petty or low where that F*ckwad won’t go.
@duckworth.senate.gov should be SECDEF! Under a competent President, of course …
How are our dutiful military members coping with this fool as their boss and the ultimate fool as CINC?! Hegseth is such an embarrassment! His holding the esteemed title of Secretary of Defense and having the awesome responsibility of managing our military forces is such an insult to their service!
This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.
How do you not get how offensive this statement is @schumer.senate.gov? @democrats.senate.gov Trump and Republicans’ cruel crusade against trans kids is not a diversion. It’s hateful hurtful discrimination. Fight for trans rights AND preserving healthcare for all! Please get your act together!
We need more of this shaming overall.
@schumer.senate.gov Mike Lee should be ousted! At a minimum, he should be censured. What the hell happened to this guy?! I remember him having a reasonably outraged response when Pompeo, et al briefed Senators on the Iranian attack in Jan 2020, but I digress. He’s devolved into a despicable loon!
A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below
I think he’s terrified that his Orange Daddy and the maga mob will go after him, so he’s gotta puff up to appear as if he’s badass …
Hey @ashdashlee.bsky.social Re-upping my #NoKings post from Saturday! Update - we had 300+ protesters rocking it in ruby red [maybe not so for long] Elkton, MD! 💙🤟🏼☮️🙏🏼 ❌👑 📣🪧
