BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Donald Trump admits he’ll implement Project 2025’s plan to gut the civil service and create a more politically driven government. It’s one of the ways Trump plans to abuse his power. Retweet so all Americans see this

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Lawrence O’Donnell just demolished Donald Trump for speaking for 60 minutes straight and telling a lie for every sentence he uttered. Everyone in the media needs to call out Trump’s BS. Retweet so all Americans see this vital video.

Calvin Booth better have something up his sleeve or better be pinching his pennies. Hot seat.

I have more faith in Nikola Jokic than almost any player I’ve ever seen but for the Nuggets to mess around with his prime like this is borderline unforgivable

[Kevin Klapp @klapper949]

Exactly my thoughts. Vomited in my mouth when I saw this.

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

Somebody help me here.

Deni Avdija is 23 and coming into his own.

Excellent defensively.

On an extremely team-friendly deal.

And you trade him for the 14th pick in a draft everybody has been panning for months?

What am I missing?

[Kevin Klapp @klapper949]

@KevinFolliNBA I hate the trade as a Wizards fan.

One Silver Lining for Each of the NBA’s Eliminated Teams https://t.co/o2v78HkSjy via @ringer Good article. Although they state that GG Jackson was an undrafted rookie free agent, when he was actually a mid second rounder.

Im sure you're all noticing that there's been something wrong with MSNBC.

• the poor framing of stories
• weird right-wing hires
• Trump monologues w/no fact check
• softball Matt Gaetz interviews
• false equivalencies of Biden/Trump
• hyping pro Trump polls
• ignoring pro Biden votes
• ignoring Bidens' economic wins
• ignoring Biden's legislative wins
• blaming Democrats for GOP disfunction

There had long been a slide into failing it's audience but I think the real inflection point, and I can't believe im about to say bring back Chuck Todd, was the hire of Kristen Welker to host MTP with her first show being an hour long pre-recorded Trump rehabilitation propaganda piece. It's been downhill ever since.

I don't know what deal was cut behind the scenes or if some kind of executive decision was made, but whatever your perceptions of MSNCB, it's not a left leaning outlet.

And that's fine. It's a business. They get to make those decisions. But they don't get to make decisions like hiring Ronna McDaniel of all people with her track record of being a liar, fraud, and Trump enabler, while hiding behind a veil of left leaning journalism. It's disrespectful to the audience.

And with the right wing turn of CNN, the NYT actually becoming the Pitchbot, and the failures of local news, there's no such thing as a left leaning mainstream media outlet. The idea that that exists is now dead.

At the end of the day, it's not about whether your outlet is left leaning or right leaning or partisan or apolitical. It's about whether your outlet is pro democracy or not. And sitting the fence on the end of democracy is as good as enabling it.

So, in the same way we can't look to the courts, or the DOJ, or Jack Smith to save us in November, we can't look to mainstream media either. Exhausting as it is, it's on us to save ourselves yet again.

The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich.

If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.

@lockedonnuggets So Xfinity is now blacking Nuggets national TV game on ESPN?!! WTF?!!

Would love to see some team step up here

Reminder that before 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. Reagan's SEC opened the floodgates to their abuse.

Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy.

They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.

Why is healthcare so expensive in America?

In the past few years, some hospital CEOs have seen their salaries increase by as much as 700 percent. Yes, you read that correctly.

Say it with me, Medicare for All.

Reminder: Behind every “self-made” billionaire is inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, and labor exploitation.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Today seems like a good time to remind you that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars anyone from holding office who has “engaged in insurrection” against the United States of America.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

A reminder that Robert F Kennedy Jr is a propagandist MAGA lunatic chaos agent hired by treasonous felon Steve Bannon and has allied himself with traitors like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. He’s in no way a Democrat nor is he a good person, he’s an unhinged traitor.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The forces undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up.

They have money.

They have media megaphones.

And they have an even more powerful weapon—one that’s harder to spot but incredibly effective: Cynicism.

Don't give up.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The myth of the self-made billionaire is just that, a myth.

Six of the 10 wealthiest Americans alive today are heirs to fortunes passed on to them by wealthy ancestors.

Trickle down economics is a cruel joke.
