Imagine if 77,000 people hadn’t stayed home or cast a purity vote because Hillary Clinton wasn’t perfect enough. We would have a 6-3 LIBERAL Court and none of this would even be an issue.
They came for abortion first. Now it’s IVF and next it’ll be birth control.
The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right.
WTF
@MSNBC
?!? This photo of Donald Trump was used EIGHT YEARS AGO in the 2016 campaign, and it was not even current then. For a network obsessed with Joe Biden‘s age, can’t you at least find a current picture of Donald Trump?
@MSNBC
, if you’re so confused as to why Joe Biden’s accomplishments are not better known by the public, try looking at your own programming. Look at what Andrea Mitchell and Katie Tur and Kiersten Walker talk about EVERY TIME they’re on the air. THAT’S the problem. End of story.
Note to MSM, particularly Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd, NYT, and WaPo: Joe Biden is officially running again. How about you NOT spend the entire 2 years questioning his age or competency and focus on Donald Trump’s faults and failures instead? Please don’t do 2016 all over again.
Morning Joe has been literally screaming at the television all day about Donald Trump. Imagine if they had not started 186 consecutive programs in 2016 with stories about Hillary‘s emails.
That’s why in 2016 we said don’t stay home because your guy didn’t get the nomination, and don’t cast a purity vote because Hillary Clinton wasn’t perfect enough. Happy now?

’s show tonight, residents of **19 states** will have their PRIVATE medical records made available to those states’ Attorneys General.
Democrats MUST figure out a crisp, telegraphed way to let voters know in 2024 that these are the stakes if Republicans win.
WOW. Jared Bernstein just went on Fox & gave one of the *best* defenses of our booming & strong economy under President Biden that I’ve ever heard — & did it in only 90 seconds. That was a true masterclass in communication & how it’s done. Watch & share👇

@joncoopertweets
376 police officers let school children get shot for 77 minutes. And Republicans think this is a better solution than to prevent the sale of assault rifles meant for fighting wars.
I just watched 20 minutes of John Stewart’s return on DVR and frankly I think he should go back into retirement. Am I alone in this thinking? He is doing Joe Biden no favors.
I am struck, but not really surprised, at how hard Jimmy Carter’s end of life health situation is hitting me. For someone who proved in words and deeds for over 50 years after leaving office what a true humanitarian he was, it will be extra painful to lose him.
I know the holidays are over but you might want to at least sample this 90 second rather incredible a cappella vocal performance from of all bands…the Monkees. Who’d thunk?
Jon Stewart trashed Joe Biden for skipping the traditional presidential Super Bowl day interview, even though Donald Trump himself skipped it in 2018. Then he trashed Joe Biden’s Super Bowl TikTok which I found rather charming.
Am I that out of touch? What did you think?
Most people know that I don’t generally start getting in the weeds with tit-for-tat Twitter arguments with people that just don’t get it. But every so often I do shrink to pettiness because I just can’t resist, and today was one of those times.

Thank you for this reminder. We can thank Ronald Reagan for most of what afflicts America today. The downfall of our country started with his election.
@CBSSunday
I couldn’t believe it when Rush Limbaugh mocked him and mimicked his movements. That would almost be like mocking a disabled New York Times reporter when you are a presidential candidate. Oh wait…
Republicans: Your candidates are saying this out loud. You really don’t mind giving up the income of Social Security and taking on the financial burden of your own health care as a retired senior?
@atrupar
Has anyone else seen a change over the last 7-10 days on MSNBC? They are going all in for Trump, including raising Joe Biden‘s age as frequently as they raised Hillary’s emails in 2016. It’s pathetic and it’s outrageous.
For the first time in 24 years living here, I saw an eagle on my property. Sitting on a branch, he started getting feisty because a second eagle wanted his space. Here he is alone – photos of the two sparing were too blurry.
How freaking wonderful is this?!? Joe and Jill Biden both have such a wonderful personality and humanity. Can you imagine anything even close to this happening in a Donald – Melania interview?

You forgot that he passed the tax bill that gave billions to the billionaires and then put in a middle class tax INCREASE that will take place….in 2021. Democrats better start making this clear before they take the blame.

How about also a requirement that would make Republicans explain why once a child is born they don't feel they should have adequate food, shelter, clothing, or health care.
@CalltoActivism
Of course I will watch Jen Psaki‘s new show on MSNBC, but instead of doing it once a week on Sunday she should take over Andrea Mitchell’s daytime slot. Talk about a win-win: we get more Jen Psaki and we finally get Andrea Mitchell off TV forever.
Everything Meidas Touch does is outstanding, but this really rises to the top. We need to get sufficient distribution on this until Republicans are too embarrassed by the answers to dare ask the question.

@atrupar
What a concept – wait to make sure there’s no germ warfare or some other risk in it, and then prudently shoot it down over water where you can capture it and gain a treasure trove of Intel. That’s my President!
MSNBC, is there a prayer you can make everyone’s day better tomorrow and give Andrea Mitchell the day off? I’ll pay her day's salary just to not see her ruin the wind-up to Trump's 2:15 appearance.
This is important to know about Donald Trump. He’s never owned a dog and likely not even petted one. He’s never told a joke or laughed at one in his entire life. And not only does he not naturally gravitate to his own grandchild, he doesn’t even register that he exists!
Now I see what Ivanka was so pissed. Trump blew off his own grandson while he was mugging with B List celebrities and the kid was pretty bummed out. This is who he really is behind the fake show.
This is very important. Not only does Britt need to apologize, MSM needs to get specific and direct about the fact that she purposely and intentionally lied. it’s time MSM stops tap dancing around this horrific mistruth with their watered-down and equivocal statements.
Please. Keep. The. Pressure. On.

I started walking in January 2021 as cancer therapy. On March 18 I skipped my walk after being up all night getting taxes out. I decided I wouldn’t skip it again.
Today I completed 1,000 consecutive days of walking at least 2 miles each day, most with a sunrise. Onward to 2,000!
Why in the world is Ari Melber talking about lack of enthusiasm for Joe Biden and praising Bernie Sanders as the gold standard for candidates? No wonder we lose elections. SMH
Go Dems!!! Between Joe Biden taking on Republicans at his SOTU, Pete Buttigieg nailing EVERY zinger thrown at him, Katie Porter‘s whiteboard, and Jamie Raskin‘s answers like this, Democrats are starting to forcefully take back the narrative. It’s VERY refreshing to see!
@DNC
Raskin: Trump on more than 20 different occasions defended the performance of the Chinese government in terms of COVID.. so if there is a problem with the Chinese government unleashing the virus.. you would have to pin that on your favorite President Donald Trump not Joe Biden

It is both astonishing and distressing that the very people who refuse to wear masks based on "personal liberties" deny those same liberties to women when they control over their own bodies.
So Trump won anywhere between 57% and 65% of the votes in South Carolina. So everybody’s talking about how he’s trouncing Nikki Haley.
Joe Biden won 96% of the vote. I’m waiting for MSM to acknowledge that. THAT is how you win a primary.

Swalwell to Jordan: How dumb do you think the American people are that you would seek to hold someone in contempt when you are 608 days, 15 hours, 21 minutes, and 47 seconds out of compliance of your own subpoena
OK, last one of the night, I promise! About to pull away after everyone had left the sunset scene tonight, I noticed some nice afterglow color and decided to shoot the boardwalk again—with absolutely no one on it and a perfectly still reflection. It was a very Zen moment for me.

Just when I think that the NYT is going to be saying something helpful and accurate about Donald Trump, they called all of these lies “mistruths.” Let’s get real – they are LIES.

Pete Buttigieg nailed it yet again. I don’t know another Democratic politician who has so willingly going on the Fox News, only to hammer them so successfully time after time after time. I’m glad he is so articulate at resetting Fox's false narrative.

I know Mike Pence is damaged goods within the Trumporium, but I still think this is extraordinarily significant. I don’t know that there’s ever been a Vice President who has not endorsed his President in a subsequent run.
Pence: Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. That's why I cannot in good conscious endorse Donald Trump

Very impressive turnout showing that Russians just want a decent life like all the rest of us. How Republicans can’t acknowledge that Putin is evil and an enemy is beyond me.
Airlines are supposed to refund travelers within 20 days for a cancelled flight, but they’re rarely penalized for failing to do so. I have a bill that not only gets people their money back sooner, but also fines airlines 10x the original price for not promptly issuing a refund.

The belief that America is a democracy when the electoral college, gerrymandering, and 17% of the nation electing the Senate could guarantee decades of Republican rule when the majority of Americans vote for Democrats for the Presidency, House and Senate.
@Acyn
I am so glad that Jamie Raskin is bringing this to the forefront. The entire use of the word Democrat as an adjective was initiated by Rush Limbaugh who thought he could make it a slur. The rest of us who graduated from fifth grade knew that the correct word was Democratic.

@UROCKlive1
The simple math is that if Donald Trump gets another term and gets a 7-2 SCOTUS, not a single program that Bernie Sanders has ever advocated for in his entire life will see the light of day for 75 years.
Can you even imagine the fear and trepidation going through all of our minds and hearts if the other guy were in command right now? And not just US citizens either – it would be the entire world.
I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks against Israel. Our commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.
Can you imagine any other president in the history of our nation ever sending this kind of message out on a day that Christians consider the holiest day of the year? How can any Christian vote for this person?
Today Joe Biden announced he is offering at-home Covid testing kits at no charge, and Donald Trump announced that he is offering NFT trading cards of himself for $99. That pretty much summarizes the difference between the two.
Look at the humanity in Joe Biden! Contrast that with the complete dearth of ANY humanity in Donald Trump. This is an uplifting, warm, inspiring video that shows somebody you’d love to have over for a barbecue.
It was the 3rd of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day…when I was born. Today I continue my march even further into my 70s.

If Liz Cheney really wanted to “protect babies after they are born," she would advocate legislation that gave them food, housing, and health care. She is so full of it on so many dimensions.
These are the kinds of days where I remember anew how angry I am at those who voted for Jill Stein, Bernie Bros who stayed home, and those who thought Donald Trump should have a “chance.“ If we do end up with a 6-3 SCOTUS we are in deep trouble, and it’s your fault.
All was good on my cancer test today almost 1,000 days after surgery. I celebrated by spreading 6 tons of gravel with my neighbor over his driveway. (It sounds more arduous than it was. There were multiple piles spread out and it was done in <3 hours.)
Well after two years and 11 months of persistent diligence in avoiding Covid, I lost the battle this week, confirmed with a positive test last night. I feel better today than yesterday and I’m hoping it will be mild. Getting Paxlovid script today. Thank you anti-vaxxers 😡😡😡
This is one impressive ad. It’s easy to just trash Donald Trump, but it’s better to soar above with the positivity of what you are doing and will continue to do. This is the kind of ad that Republicans used to run when they beat Democrats. I’m thrilled this is coming from us.
BREAKING: The Biden campaign just released this powerful ad highlighting how anti-American Donald Trump is and how patriotic President Biden is. Retweet to make sure all voters see this.

Voters, it’s up to you. Do you want to have no health care and no monthly income when you get old? Then vote Republican. Do you want to have some sense of financial and physical security? Then vote Democratic. Both candidates are old. Don’t let age be part of the equation.
Let me rewrite this headline for you.
