I'd rather MAGA just reform the 60 vote Senate filibuster. When democrats have to clean up this mess, will we have to have MAGA votes in the senate in order to do anything?

We do not want to be back to begging a Manchin type. That spelled the downfall of Biden/Harris as much as anything.

Thank you for running Janet Mills and for being on #LastWord with the great @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

Please keep it a clean democratic primary with no negative ads against democratic candidates.

Personally, I just want to see a win for Maine Senate. Let the primary voters decide.

We need a big win in Virginia as well as New Jersey.

Thank you @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social for being on #LastWord with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

Donald Trump lies that Mamdani is a "communist" while giving a $20 billion handout to his right wing zealot in Argentina.

Who's the communist now? Donnie

Outrageous that the senile mad king came right out and said he will give the $20 billion to Argentina to bail out Bessent's hedge fund buddies but only if MAGA's right winger gets elected.

That is election interference from a foreign country.

And yet, somehow impeachment of Donald Trump not called

At least the simple truth is told on #LastWord for one hour a day.

We are on the verge of a health care crisis, where over 15 million could lose health care and President Trump still refuses to negotiate to end the govt shutdown. But today, he celebrated a $20 billion taxpayer-funded bailout to his buddy in Argentina. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

People have bad memories; before the ACA people with serious health issues either had to pay ridiculous prices (thousands of dollars a month) or were denied insurance altogether. Republicans want to bring back that world.

MSNBC is really missing the boat by fluffing for Trump in the whole morning hours. There is already a Fox propaganda channel. There is a big audience out there hungry for truth about Donald Trump's mental fitness. At least we have #LastWord.
