I am absolutely thrilled and honored and generally upside down with excitement to come back home to @MSNBC to host the 9PM hour, beginning August 16th. LET'S DO THIS https://t.co/bgJAcmuDtt
For 626 mornings and counting, I've been greeting people like my friend Julie, reminding them what day it is, and offering them a brief moment of relief before the day begins. Do you need a respite too? Come on over.
Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.
— Amanda Gorman
Which is to say: This isn't a change of heart. It's not a change of mind. It's not a mea culpa. It's a change of strategy. The whole episode is so deeply disgraceful.
There is a deep, historic connection between yesterday and today: Black grassroots organizations mobilizing Black voters to elect a Black and a Jewish senator from the Deep South... and a white terrorist mob overtaking the Capitol to stop the democratic process.
“White Americans aren’t afraid of the cops. White Americans are never afraid of the cops, even when they’re committing an insurrection,” @JoyAnnReid says about the Trump supporters rioting the US Capitol.
I really wonder if, after this, McConnell is going to be able to hold his caucus together for relentless obstruction. This is an emotional reckoning for some Senate Republicans as they realize what they are part of, what they have permitted.
The fact that Mitch McConnell - a man with an unrelenting commitment to undermine America's first Black president - could lose his veto power over American democracy bc of Raphael Warnock, John Ossoff and Stacey Abrams is some kind of American justice.
