@velshi.com Ali: You are a proven reporter. I value your work. Is it possible to devote a program to international news? If you had a program that became a center for Intl news I hope we'd see your occasional trip to SHOW what the stakes are in Finland & the Baltic countries. It wld be valuable.
Have fun with all...go whoop it up! I'll actually work on my biz. I'm Pacific time zone, so afternoons are usually reserved for this great news host who can educate, laugh and get pissed off all in 5 minute span; especially if Heilman is there. (Do another episode and uncensor yourself this time!)
PS: Regardless of the suits decision, on the substitute broadcast, there is one pro and two amateurs. They are not nor ever have been reporters. It shows. FWIW
Oh helping didn't read the previous post completely. Was in panic mode. You on Memorial day with the kids and Co. Right? OK my anxiety is back under control.
I am stomach punched seing your time slot WITH THEIR SHOW not a subs for you! What's up? Will you be back tomorrow? You are a professional's professional.Without you and Katy Tur, daily MSNBC loses much of its power. So, has your show been moved, shoved over to NBC? What's up? (Great pod, btw)
How many polls are being manipulated?
@kattykay.bsky.social Watch the elements within the admin attack mental health meds, which I take, instead of realizing they are necessary. They are firing the researchers, school experts etc; that might OVER YEARS have an impact. Idiot Kennedy Jr believes autism can be solved in a matter of wks.
Fuck 'em.
Ukraine's access to Musk's satellite internet service could be cut due to the Polish president's veto of a refugee aid bill. Poland pays for Ukraine to use Starlink, which provides crucial internet connectivity to the country and its military as they try to push back invading Russian forces Reuters
I wish she was on social net so we could send her our thoughts as well. I can't find her. Brilliant in her field. Going to look after.#datelinewh to see if she's published.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social If anyone says the American people do not support Ukraine, as I heard from a Dem Congressman, Americans support mil and humanitarian at 61%. Republicans up(!) at 51% up 30% from earlier this yr. Both parties support sanctions by roughly 75%.
@nicollewallace.bsky.social If any Democrat or panelist say the American people do not support Ukraine, as I heard from a Dem Congressman, Americans support mil and humanitarian at 61%. Republicans up(!) at 51% up 30% from earlier this yr. Both parties support sanctions by roughly 75%.
@markhertling.bsky.social Thank you for talking about the world's *first cyber-war* in Estonia. Estonia is now the most wired in Europe with the best defensive capabilities. I would assume their offensive capabilities are quiet but significant.
Today is a TRANS-ATLANTIC SUMMIT. Troop has never seen anything like this previously. There will be American peacekeepers on the ground. There will be American reconstruction people on the ground. Any agreement must be ratified by Congress to create a binding treaty.
The group must have a private meeting. No questions prior to meeting. @levparnas.bsky.social saying DJT will try to isolate Zelenskyy and exclude major powers This must not happen. As I said to each they must be willing to walk out if anything so disastrous is attempted. @kattykay.bsky.social
@kattykay.bsky.social Russia is not a great power except for its nuke arsenal. That is negated by MAD. US security 'guarantee' is subject to the whims of a madman unless ratified as a treaty. US troops and US reconstruction companies in country as a presence will offer back-up.
I've sent messages to nearly all. We'll see.
I love that you said that! They should truly walk out on him if he starts praising and pandering to Putin. Totally walk out on his ass !
Please view full thread ! This group must do the unprecedented and take control in another leaders office. They MUST be willing to walk out. It's the only force Trump would understand.
6/ Situation termed a *break* in the proceedings. The Euro leaders must do that which has never been done and goes against tradition: Use their leverage, created by showing up in force, and take control of the tenor of the meeting immediately after the photo op. Trump *cannot* be in contol.
This unprecedented group of leaders must set the tenor of their PRIVATE meeting. Nothing other than photo op in advance of the *private* meeting. They must agree, prior to any meeting, that if Trump attacks, lies or is disrespectful, they will call for a break and leave as a group. That's power.
I so agree with #GavinNewsom He states it perfectly โฌ๏ธ #Pinks #ProudBlue

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."
6/ Situation termed a *break* in the proceedings. The Euro leaders must do that which has never been done and goes against tradition: Use their leverage, created by showing up in force, and take control of the tenor of the meeting immediately after the photo op. Trump *cannot* be in contol.
5/truth from more than one leader. My suggestion would be to have an agreed upon narrative. Invite *every* network to meet with a national leader(!) who gives them the true narrative and answers questions. Don't run over the bully w/a bus. Yet privately, set the terms to continue the meeting.
4/ and what circumstances will cause the meeting to be continued. Have the hotel prepare a space for the meeting. Perhaps Trump must return to their hotel? Never take on a bully on his own turf. ? If he's acted disrespectful, then treat him like a bully. The American press must get the
3/his usual themes or denigrates any of them. He will only understand force! In this case, walking out of the room and the WH. Someone has to signal this action. Once back to their hotel, send the most senior & best speaker, female, to give press an honest reason why they left
2/a 'press conference' in the Oval or another room. Yes, a photo op certainly. NO 'MEETING' with the press! Trump uses those to humiliate world leaders. Please tell them them must have a private negotiation (no press)! MOST IMPORTANT, THEY MUST AGREE IN ADVANCE TO STAND AND WALK OUT if Trump starts
1/@ilvestoomas.bsky.social Mr. President, thank you for leading an intelligent discussion with @alivelshinews.bsky.social on @msnbc.com this morning. One SERIOUS request: Please get in touch with the most influential of the Euro leaders and tell them it is CRITICAL they do not get trapped into
If you have any doubt about both Epstein and trump, take the time to read the initial complaint.

Trump once again bashing mail-in voting. Wrong. Many nations use mail-in voting, either for all citizens, restricted groups, or citizens abroad. The history of postal voting dates back to the 19th century.
This is the first time I've seen both of them looked like they weren't ok. The KGB guy may have playing to the camera. Trump doesn't have the guts.
Oh fuck 'em.
I'M SITTING HERE SHOUTING AT THE TV. "You motherfreaker!" You doing the same. Scanned around and Katy Tur at MSNBC has by far the best commentary and reporting. Remember she's a reporter first and foremost.
@kattybkay.bsky.social Russia incentive to go forward? That = Alaska oil. Ridiculous but entirely possible.

@kattybkay.bsky.social RE: BLS report scheduling- Per Paul Krugman and substantiated by research, the monthly BLS report is mandated by law. Not a regulation but a law.
@stephruhle.bsky.social Why the HELL does Morning Joe get the Treasury Secretary with exactly 1 question of substance, Gene Robinson; "The importer pays the tariffs?"? YOU and @velshi.com are qualified. Hope you watch the result. Please keep something to break nearby.
Theil also created the Vance character!
Peter Thiel said women should not vote in 2009 and despite that people remained willing to associate him, revealing a truly gaping lack of morality and judgement both in his friends and his business associates

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Maxwell *TOOK* the childs panties off. This from testimony and reports from victims plus your own reporters.
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com You called her "RAPIST!" Thank you, thank you. @stephruhle.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social
Yes. Please add.me. I agree with @rachelmaddow that we are IN an authoritarian effort that's trying to make it permanent.
๐จLEAKED Memo: TRUMP Wants to DEPLOY US Army in OUR Streets A newly leaked DHS memo exposes a plan to put soldiers side by side with ICE agents on American streets, banking on guaranteed public backlash and meeting it with raw military force.
You guys didn't notice ?
Reposted and No itโs not FOX News.
After I was denied entry to an ICE facility in my district, many of you said social media posts werenโt enough. Youโre right. Hereโs whatโs next.
It's OK to say that she's done one thing right. And it's an Op-Ed.column. Nothing about the news paper itself.

We need an infographic about the dozens hit.
VP Harris would be a fine Secretary of State. Perfect person to lead the effort to repair the damage already done. That could start today by helping her to get out and show the difference between the WH and the USA.
Former vice-president Kamala Harris has given her first interview since last yearโs election to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS tonight at 11.35pm ET. #Pinks
@nicollewallace.bsky.social This is going to sound crazy: Nicolle,YOU GET JOE ROGAN on your show specifically on this Trump trampling of his base AND Maxwell. Maybe get @maddow.msnbc.com to co-host. Joe's got the balls to say yes. You've faced down a helluva lot in your VP career. You can do it.
@velshi.com Hell, Ali, the WHITE HOUSE PRESS doesn't push back! Tell each time every week. Get the clip of the Q & Non-Answer then list the next 3 questions that did nothing about the lie! @lawrence calls them out. Nearly 3-4 days a week. Do the same!
She said Maxwell threatened her life more than once. It's worth following up and reporting.
@jenpsaki.msnbc.com 1/ Very hard episode to watch tonight. I was ok until she started talking to the other victims at the end. Then it all hit. I hope the victims attorney are.given a chance to preview the files. There could be damaging info even if the names are redacted.

Sad.
@nicollewallace.bsky.social For God's sake, why hasn't anyone given you the statement from Maxwell's attorney! In the last few weeks, he said Maxwell would testify to Congress WITHOUT an agreement with DOJ.
@daralind.bsky.social Does immigrant law also require Miranda warnings? It sounds as if the officers would consider that a joke. Serious question.
@timobrien.bsky.social "Murdock is more interested in power." Well said!
@nicollewallace.bsky.social I'm enjoying the podcast. Love the guests. Each episode is excellent. Like any new venture, each episode is better. I'd like to hear more 'voice' (not volume) but that's my preference for a sense of presence. You've pro producers. They know what is best. Excellent.

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as itโs done legally. But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. Theyโre here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home. The cruelty is the point.
Facts....
Is there a Nobel Prize for protest signs?
Maxwell cannot be trusted if given the opportunity to testify before Congress. This would likely only occur if she were offered a favorable deal & claim that Trump was not involved in assaulting minors & to put this story to rest in MAGA land. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Why?
What do you think Musk wanted a free hand to get into all those systems for...play chess?

@profgalloway.com Will you cut two or three 30-second videos? Cut them out of your pods telling the truth of this wealth transfer. You make the case better than anyone! Make them available to candidates and/or organizations for their use. Please.
@stephruhle.bsky.social At 76, living on very small SSI, Medicaid and Snap is this going to hit even me? If so, the GOP is guaranteed to lose the House. It's damn possible they could lose the Senate. It's their viciousness of heart spoken loudly and often plus GOTV will win.

2/125 airplanes, one or more submarines and multiple B-2 Bombers can't be deployed with crayon drawings. [PS: I don't think this was the best move. Did Trump get suckered by Bibi into believing Bibi's version of 'intelligence'? Bibi's version. Not Isreali. Time will tell.]
1/Did you ever think that Trumps political appointees were in control of the Pentagon? You can reassure yourself that this highly complicated, intricate strike could NOT have been planned by idiots that can't speak in full sentences. Whether you support the attack itself or not;
@admiralstav.bsky.social What about the Iranian Navy? It hasn't been hit yet. I assume that the lack of attack is, in itself, a message to the govt of Iran. Yes/No? And is hitting that fleet before they close the Straits a logical result?
