Mike Johnson signals he will enact Trump’s Project 2025 if they win in November: We’re gonna make big, radical changes. Those first 100 days, aggressive changes to the country

[Christine Pelosi @sfpelosi]

I don’t like watching the former guy EVER - least of all on Juneteenth - but he just confessed to the crime of stealing classified documents.

OUTRAGEOUS: Republicans in Montana just SHUT OFF THE MIC of a trans state representative who was desperately trying to speak out against an anti-trans bill.

The Missoula Democrats are outraged that the GOP is not only preventing her from speaking on the bill, but they're not letting her speak on ANY BILL in the House.

This is NOT democracy.

More details on this story as it develops, in the 🧵 below.

“If we let everybody in the boat, if we row in the same cadence together, there is no obstacle this body can overcome for this nation.” — Kevin McCarthy

Surely that’s not what he meant to say? Unfortunately, he may be right (no matter how we row). @kevinomccarthy

[Lenora @lroseen]

@11thHour Why do reporters keep referring to these Republican congressmen as moderates and conservatives?!? There are NO moderate Republicans left in the House, and both sides of the GOP have equally “conservative” voting records. The never-Kevins are right wing extremists.

@MSNBC Also loved @SymoneDSanders’ interview with Chairman @BennieGThompson, whose committee did a truly amazing job. Everything about last night’s coverage was top notch (even though we missed Joy, Chris, and Nicolle). Such thoughtful and relevant teamwork!

[Lenora @lroseen]

@MSNBC Please consider @jrpsaki to host The 11th Hour at 11pm. I think she would do an amazing job! I’ve loved that show since Brian Williams started it. I want to still like it, but it’s just not the best fit for Stephanie Ruhl. (@AliVelshi would also be great in that role.)

[Lenora @lroseen]

@MSNBC Really good coverage tonight! Always love when Rachel’s there. SO great to have @JRPsaki and @AliVelshi at the table. (More please!) Also loved the convo with @AWeissmann_ and @AriMelber. So helpful! Missed @NicolleDWallace and @chrislhayes but assume they are w/family.

Tonight, the lights of the Metropolitan Opera House and the iconic Lincoln Center fountain went dark in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, who are suffering without electricity and access to basic needs. (1/5)

BREAKING: Negotiators reached a historic deal at a U.N. biodiversity conference that would represent the most significant effort to protect the world’s lands and oceans and provide critical financing to save biodiversity in the developing world. https://t.co/zahyexlPl7

@alexwagner I love the 9pm hour on @MSNBC because of how thoroughly and accurately things are explained to me, with a focus on CONTEXT. I’m never lost… until tonight. Over and over you talked about NFTs with NO reference to what they are. I shouldn’t have to Google it.

🚨 A meme lapping social media claims that an email shows Tucker Carlson thanking Hunter Biden for writing a letter to Georgetown University on behalf of Carlson's son, Buckley.

That claim is accurate. https://t.co/vEfDVHxtpb

They call them the new heroes, Ukrainian electrical workers doing the impossible, keeping the lights on despite relentless Russian attacks on critical infrastructure. @v_solohub reports from Kyiv. https://t.co/ufEN32ESpW

Trevor gives thanks to the fans who supported him over the last seven years and the Black women who shaped his life.

@alexwagner I love your work and was thrilled when your new 9pm show launched on @MSNBC, but I find it so uncomfortable listening to so much vocal fry that I can’t always listen to your whole show. Nearly every sentence grinds to an unhealthy conclusion. Please take care.

[Lenora @lroseen]

@alexwagner So sorry you’ve been sick! As a voice teacher, I urge you to work with a speech therapist to reduce the amount of “vocal fry” you tend to speak with. That habit makes “losing your voice” much more likely and long term damage to your vocal folds a real risk.

It looks like #Nicole will move through or near the Lowcountry very quickly on Friday. Coastal Flooding is already an issue around high tide & will remain the rest of the week. Heavy rain, est. 2-5” & gusty winds 40-50mph expected Thursday into Friday. #chswx

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

It wasn’t just classified documents. It wasn’t just nuclear documents. Trump may also have stolen the White House call logs from January 6 — and hidden them at Mar-a-Lago.

[Lenora @lroseen]

@maddow Great to have you back tonight and so pleased you will be back on Wednesday with the team! Since you are mostly only on @MSNBC on Mondays now, we need #TRMS to expand to 2 hours. Seriously. 1 hour of Rachel per week isn’t enough time for your important work. We need you.
