Yes of course Nicolle Wallace deserves a day off or a break from work, but seeing @MSNBC letting MAGA propagandist Katy Tur fill in for her is ridiculous and frankly disgraceful. Nicolle deserves to have someone who reports facts fill in for her and Katy deserves to be fired.
Really wish MSNBC & CNN would have shown President Biden's incredibly powerful speech in front of more than a thousand Black voters in Philadelphia just now. Instead, they were covering Trump's trial. It's truly a shame.
ill-prepared, not clever, unpleasant, and MAGA leaning--hard to understand why MSNBC would keep Katy Tur. Now let's do Andrea Mitchell and whatshername Jansing. Has to be better talent out there--at a time we need anti-insurrectionist, pro-Democracy news.
@mkhammer Jailing your political opponents for no reason is bad. 1) Alan Bragg and NYC are not Trump’s political opponents. 2) Holding every person accountable for criminal activity no matter their position is what they call Rule of Law in a democracy.
@GarciaRosalind@JesseBWatters confirms onTrump is a loser. His attorney Blanche said that Trump was all in on one of worst defenses in high profile criminal trials. Blanche thinking Trump may fire me but I am not throwing away my career because I had stupidest most narcissistic client on earth
@JohnJHarwood@votetimscott shouting to American people that voting for a convicted felon is just the change the American people need. We have not had a convicted felon before as a president so for sure it is a change but I am thinking an idiotic change that he is proposing.
📣 Never Forget: The so-called “conservatives” and allies view January 6th insurrectionists as patriotic. They are also ready and able to give the twice-impeached wannabe dictator a personal stamp of approval for overturning elections, vilifying law enforcement, and dehumanizing fellow human beings.
🚨Those who support, sympathize with, and provide aid to insurrectionists, as well as those who adopt the language of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, pose a clear and present danger to our nation.
▪️Additionally. the same individuals who want to repeal the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, also support banning DEI initiatives, whitewashing slavery, imposing book bans, suppressing voters, criminalizing women’s healthcare, normalizing hate speech, and denying systemic inequities.
🎯These actions are all interconnected, revealing an un-American and anti-democratic ideology that poses a true existential threat to democracy and society.
🗣️The twice-impeached wannabe dictator and his allies' objective is to dismantle democratic norms, consolidate power within an authoritarian administration, and erode the separation of powers. To learn more about their plans, look up “Project 2025”.
This is the election to determine if we will have future elections. 🇺🇸
Together, let's raise our voices against hate, fascism, and apathy. Vote🗳️
At the end of Robert De Niro's remarks outside the courthouse, a Trump supporter called Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone, who were beside De Niro, "traitors."
De Niro shot back: "They stood there. They didn’t have to. They stood there and fought for us. They fought for you, buddy. You’re able to stand right here."
"They are the true heroes. I’m honored to be with these two heroes today."
@joshtpm Yes. Media turning this into joke about him controlling his wife. He does not need to control his wife but if she repeatedly demonstrates in public she sympathizes with right wing fascists then he needs to recuse from cases where right wing fascists are party to the litigation.
I just had coffee with one of my Orlando neighbors — a moderate Republican — who supported Nikki Haley from day one. She told me “I put my heart and soul into supporting Nikki. I feel so betrayed right now. She’s lost all credibility in my eyes. I’m just terribly disappointed.”🧵
@SarahAMatthews1 I voted for Haley in the primary but now I've lost all respect for her. Trump committed a monstrous crime against this country on Jan. 6. I don't care if someone supported him prior to that date, but I will never vote for anyone who supports him now as long as I live.
This outcome was both predictable and inevitable. I accepted long ago that 99% of politicians will choose personal ambition over principles every single time.
What is shocking, however, is that Nikki Haley gains nothing from this but loses everything—the support she built during the primary and her dignity.
