Maddow: 'I want to associate myself with all my colleagues both at MSNBC and at NBC News who have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll someone who hasn't just attacked us as journalists but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get…

Already tired of 'How will Putin respond?' articles in Western media. He’ll 'respond' to a terror attack he knew about and possibly assisted with by bombing the hell out of Ukraine and murdering more Ukrainian civilians, same as every day before the attack.

So a comment I made on another post has gone viral-ish and it has a horrendous typo. And every time I get a notification on it I see it and cringe.

Reminded of that great piece in The Irish Times about the monarchy and the British Royal Family, in particular these three paragraphs

A thread about our Sunday adventure with #sophiefromromania - we knew that persuading her to walk from the front door would be tough ..

Can we all agree that Stephen Colbert is absolutely right? This isn’t a meltdown it’s the truth. 💯

This is a huge story on the right. It should be an even bigger story on the left.

Seeing ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET. not get a single Oscar nomination is such a disappointment.

Impeccable writing and a perfect ensemble. The film deserved more attention.

Quiz: what happens to San Diego when you get the 5th wettest day on record, squeezed (mostly) into a half day of rain?

Answer:

Liftoff - Here We Go! 🐶🚀

Regular readers might have thought last year was about helping individual dogs with their comebacks, writing a book, media appearance or other happy dog videos I share.

There certainly were a lot of those things but the real planning was happening in…

That special moment when the outpouring of love for Shane couldn’t be held in anymore, when the wake gatecrashed the funeral mass & it was beautiful! Shane’s spirit was there for the world to see. Just how he wanted it - pure, spontaneous, celebratory, rebellious joy & love 💚✊🏻

The media will try to tell you Joe Biden isn't popular, but with the help of Steve Schmidt, Dean Phillips launched a primary campaign against Biden, and now, less than 30 days later, his political career is over.

There's no public appetite for a challenge to Biden. It's a…

Spot the pattern:
2020: Biden can't win. (Biden wins.)
2022: Biden to be slammed in midterms. (Dems do great.)
Off-year elections: Biden in peril. (Dems win even in many red states.)
2021-2023: Biden can't get past GOP in Congress. (Biden achieves more legislative wins than any…

The Republicans are not looking for a Speaker. They seek a spectacle to hide sedition. Their main goal is a shutdown of government and services that benefit the public good.

They mask their crimes as scandal, their malice as incompetence, and people fall for it every time.

“You can’t cure killed babies with more dead babies. We need peace.”

The son of a missing Israeli peace activist says that his mother would be mortified by the situation in Gaza, and that vengeance is not a strategy.

The decisions being made now are going to impact millions of lives, reverberate for generations, and risk all kinds of escalation. The U.S. should have learned from 9/11 the profound cost of being guided by anger and fear. I hope that is what we are telling the Israeli government

Just a reminder that with the *exact same margin* that Republicans currently have, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure package, gun safety law, PACT Act, CHIPS Act, and reauthorized VAWA.

Republicans can't even choose a Speaker.

To the media: This is not Congress in chaos. This is the Republican Party in chaos. This never happened under Nancy Pelosi for a reason: because she kept her caucus unified. This is all on Republicans & any other framing is a disservice to democracy & readers.
